NoCry Anti-Fog Safety Goggles, Vented, Anti-Scratch

What to check before you buy

Splash, dust and fine dust are separate ratings

ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 marks D3 for splash and droplet, D4 for dust and D5 for fine dust. A goggle rated for dust is not automatically rated for chemical splash.

Direct versus indirect venting

Indirect vents keep liquid out while allowing airflow, which is the chemical-splash configuration. Direct vents breathe better but let splash through.

Seal against the face

The seal is the whole point of a goggle. Facial hair, temple arms of prescription glasses and poor strap tension all break it.

Goggles are primary protection

Unlike a face shield, goggles are primary eye protection - and are what a shield should be worn over.

Frequently asked questions

When do I need goggles instead of safety glasses?

When the hazard can reach the eye from the side or below - chemical splash, fine dust, or high-velocity particles from unpredictable directions. Goggles seal; glasses do not.

What do D3, D4 and D5 mean?

They are ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 markings: D3 for splash and droplet, D4 for dust, D5 for fine dust. Check which one your hazard requires.

Can I wear goggles over prescription glasses?

Only OTG-rated goggles. Forcing standard goggles over frames breaks the seal, which removes the protection you chose goggles for.

Direct or indirect vents?

Indirect vents for chemical splash - they block liquid while allowing air. Direct vents give more airflow and suit dust and impact where splash is not a factor.

Do goggles replace a face shield?

No, the relationship runs the other way. Goggles are primary protection; a face shield is secondary and is worn over them for grinding, splash and molten hazards.
