763-S2509 - Uvex Astro OTG 3001 Safety Glasses Shade 5.0 IR

Essential Eye Protection for Gas Welding and Cutting

Welders and fabricators know that proper eye protection is non-negotiable, especially when working with oxy-fuel torches for cutting, brazing, or gas welding. The Uvex Astro OTG S2509 Safety Glasses with Shade 5.0 lenses are specifically built to handle these tasks while solving a common problem: how to stay protected while wearing prescription glasses. The "OTG" (Over-The-Glass) design allows you to wear your everyday prescription frames underneath these safety specs without compromising comfort or safety.

Optical Clarity and Radiation Protection
The Shade 5.0 lens is critical for filtering out the intense infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation produced during gas welding and cutting processes. Unlike standard clear safety glasses, these green-tinted lenses reduce glare and prevent eye strain, allowing you to focus on the puddle or the cut line with precision. The polycarbonate material is inherently impact-resistant, protecting your eyes from flying sparks, spatter, and slag. Furthermore, the lens features a tough anti-scratch hard coating, ensuring that your view remains clear even after rigorous use in gritty shop environments.

Customizable Fit for Long Shifts
Comfort is key when you are under the hood or at the bench for hours. The Uvex Astro OTG glasses feature adjustable temples that can be lengthened or shortened to suit your face shape. This ensures the glasses stay securely in place, even when you are moving around large workpieces or working in awkward positions. The integrated brow guard adds an extra layer of defense against sparks or debris falling from above, which is particularly useful during overhead work.

Reliable Durability
Built to withstand the demands of the welding shop, these glasses meet strict ANSI Z87+ safety standards. Whether you are a professional welder, a pipefitter, or a metal artist, the Uvex Astro OTG S2509 provides the reliable barrier you need against both physical impacts and harmful light radiation. They are an economical and practical alternative to bulky goggles, offering better ventilation and a more natural field of view.
