Jackson Safety V10 Element Safety Glasses (25628) — Clear, ANSI Z87+, Dielectric

Jackson Safety V10 Element Safety Glasses overview

The Jackson Safety V10 Element Safety Glasses (model 25628) are lightweight, economical clear safety spectacles — a wraparound polycarbonate lens with temples and a universal nose bridge, rated ANSI Z87.1+ for high impact. They're fully dielectric (all-plastic, no metal to conduct electricity), the 100% polycarbonate lens blocks about 99% of UV, and the wraparound shape adds side coverage against flying particles. See our best safety glasses guide and the safety glasses collection.

One correction worth being direct about: our own product listing calls these "goggles," but the V10 Element is safety glasses, not sealed goggles. That distinction matters for what they protect against — safety glasses guard against impact and flying particles, but because they aren't sealed to your face they do not protect against liquid splashes, dust or fine dust. For those hazards you need an actual sealed goggle like the Klein dual-mold goggles or the OTG anti-fog goggles — see our safety glasses vs. goggles guide. Also note the base V10 Element clear is typically uncoated, so confirm the coating on the exact SKU if anti-fog matters.

Where the Jackson Safety V10 Element Safety Glasses fit

They're the economical, general-purpose impact eyewear for construction, carpentry, warehousing, maintenance, assembly and DIY — anywhere the hazard is flying particles or debris and you want light, low-cost Z87+ protection that's easy to stock across a crew. The fully dielectric build is a bonus around electrical work. Where they're not the tool is a liquid-splash, dust or fine-dust job (use sealed goggles), welding (use a shaded lens or helmet), or bright-sun glare (use a tinted lens). Pair eye protection with the rest of your PPE — our when do you need safety glasses and best safety goggles guides help you decide, and the lab safety glasses guide covers splash-prone settings.

Frequently asked questions

Are these safety glasses or safety goggles?

Safety glasses — spectacles with temples (arms) and a wraparound lens, not sealed goggles with a head strap. Our own product title currently calls them 'goggles,' which isn't accurate for this model; the V10 Element is Jackson's lightweight safety-glasses line.

Do they protect against liquid splashes or dust?

No — this is the key limitation. Safety glasses aren't sealed to your face, so they protect against impact and flying particles but not against liquid splashes, dust or fine dust. For a chemical splash or a dusty environment you need a sealed goggle, not these glasses.

What ANSI rating do they carry?

ANSI Z87.1+ — the plus means they meet the high-impact requirement, not just basic impact. That covers flying particles and debris from tools and machinery, which is what safety glasses are designed for.

Are they dielectric / okay near electrical work?

Yes — the V10 Element is fully dielectric, meaning it's all-plastic with no metal parts to conduct electricity. That's a plus around energized work, though your eye protection still has to fit your site's overall electrical-PPE program and hazard assessment.

What's the lens made of, and do they block UV?

A 100% polycarbonate lens, which is inherently impact-resistant and blocks about 99% of UV. Polycarbonate is the standard for safety eyewear because it takes an impact without shattering.

Do they have an anti-fog coating?

The base V10 Element clear model is typically uncoated, so don't assume anti-fog — confirm the coating on the exact SKU you're buying. If fogging is a problem for your work, look specifically for an anti-fog-coated model.

How do they fit?

A wraparound lens with a universal nose bridge and lightweight frame designed to suit a broad range of face shapes. The wraparound shape adds side coverage against particles compared to a flat-lens style.

Is the clear lens for indoor or outdoor use?

Clear is the all-purpose choice for indoor work and low light, and it's fine outdoors when glare isn't the issue. For bright sun you'd want a tinted or mirrored lens; clear maximizes light transmission.

Can I use them for welding?

No — a clear lens has no welding shade. Welding needs a shaded lens or a welding helmet rated for the process; these are general-purpose impact glasses, not welding eyewear.

What's the difference between the 25627 and 25628?

Both are V10 Element clear safety glasses; the numbers denote minor configuration differences (such as lens coating or pack) within the same line. Confirm the exact configuration of the SKU you're ordering if the coating or packaging matters.

When should I choose glasses versus goggles?

Choose safety glasses like these for impact and flying-particle hazards where comfort and airflow matter. Choose sealed goggles when the hazard is a liquid splash, dust or fine dust that can get around an open frame — see our safety glasses vs. goggles guide to match the eyewear to your hazard.

Are they a good value for a crew?

Yes — the V10 Element is Jackson's economical line, which makes it a practical choice for stocking general-purpose impact eyewear across a crew, as long as the job's hazard is impact rather than splash or dust.

Reviewed by Steven Eaton, WC Safety. Specifications reflect Jackson Safety's published data for the V10 Element line; this is ANSI Z87.1+ safety glasses (not sealed goggles, despite the listing's wording), so they protect against impact and flying particles, not liquid splashes or dust — match the eyewear to your hazard assessment and use sealed goggles where splash or dust protection is required.
