OVERVIEW

Clear Vision and Comfort for the Fabricator

When you are under the hood or handling a torch, your eyes are your most valuable tool. The Uvex Genesis XC Safety Glasses with Shade 5 lens are built specifically for welders and fabricators who need reliable protection during oxy-fuel cutting, brazing, and soldering. We know that standard safety glasses often leave gaps at the sides or fog up right when you need to see the puddle. The Genesis XC solves these problems with an "Extra Coverage" design that wraps further around the face, sealing off the gaps where sparks or grinding dust usually sneak in.

The Shade 5 lens is the industry standard for gas welding and cutting. It provides the necessary darkness to look at the flame and molten metal without damaging your eyes, while still offering enough visibility to set up your work. But protection doesn't mean much if you can't see through the lens. That's why these glasses come with Uvex's top-tier anti-fog coating. Whether you are working in a steamy shop or sweating under your gear, the anti-fog technology keeps your vision crisp, so you don't have to stop and wipe your glasses every five minutes.

Comfort is a huge factor when you are wearing PPE all day. The Genesis XC features a cushioned brow guard that not only feels good against your forehead but also acts as a shock absorber if something hits the frame. The nose piece uses soft, flexible fingers that grip gently without digging in, and the temples are fully adjustable. You can change the angle and the length of the arms to get a perfect fit that won't slide down your nose when you look down at your work.

These glasses are also tough. The polycarbonate lens is impact-resistant, meeting high-velocity impact standards. If you wear prescription glasses, the Genesis XC frame is designed to accept an Rx insert (sold separately), so you don't have to sacrifice vision for safety. Whether you are in a heavy industrial fabrication shop or a home garage, the Uvex Genesis XC Shade 5 glasses give you the optical clarity, impact protection, and all-day comfort you need to get the job done safely.

FAQ

Shade 5 lenses are designed for oxy-fuel welding, cutting, and brazing. They protect against the infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation produced by the gas flame.

No, Shade 5 is too light for electric arc welding (MIG, TIG, Stick). You must use a welding helmet with a much darker shade (typically Shade 9-13) for arc welding to prevent eye damage.

Yes, the Uvex Genesis XC meets ANSI Z87.1+ (High Impact) and CSA Z94.3 standards.

Yes, the Genesis XC system allows for easy lens replacement, so you can switch lenses or replace damaged ones without buying a new frame.
