K2967-1 - Lincoln Electric Starlite IR 5 Safety Glasses Shade 5 Anti-Fog

Reliable Protection for Cutting and Grinding

For professional welders and fabricators, the transition between welding, cutting, and grinding often requires switching gear, but the Lincoln Starlite IR 5 Welding Safety Glasses (K2967-1) offer a versatile solution for the preparation and finishing stages of your workflow. These compact safety glasses are specifically formulated with a Shade 5 lens, making them the ideal choice for oxy-fuel cutting, brazing, and plasma cutting applications where a full welding helmet might be excessive, but standard clear glasses offer insufficient protection against brightness and radiation.

The K2967-1 is built for the real-world demands of the shop floor. The frameless, unitary lens design is not just about aesthetics; it provides a wide field of vision that is essential when maneuvering around large workpieces or working in tight spaces. The wrap-around curvature ensures that your eyes are protected from flying debris, sparks, and spatter entering from the sides, which is a common hazard during grinding operations. The lenses are hard-coated to resist scratching, extending the life of the product even in abrasive environments like mining, railcar fabrication, and heavy equipment repair.

Comfort is a major factor in PPE effectiveness, and Lincoln Electric delivers with a featherlight construction. At less than one ounce, these glasses virtually disappear when worn, allowing you to focus entirely on your arc or cut line. The compact fit is designed to sit securely on the face without slipping, even when looking down or moving rapidly. Additionally, the integrated anti-fog coating prevents moisture buildup on the lens, a frequent annoyance that can interrupt work and compromise safety. This feature is particularly beneficial in hot shops or when wearing face masks.

These glasses are a trusted accessory across a multitude of industries, including shipbuilding, structural welding, and cross-country pipeline maintenance. They meet ANSI Z87+ and CSA Z94.3 standards, giving you the peace of mind that your eyes are shielded by certified impact protection. Whether you are performing casting repairs or working on high-pressure piping, the Lincoln Starlite IR 5 glasses provide the optical clarity and robust safety features required by professional tradesmen.
