NoCry Clear Safety Glasses

The NoCry clear safety glasses are ANSI Z87.1-rated wraparound protective eyewear targeting users in DIY, home improvement, yard work, and light industrial applications. Available in five frame color combinations including Black/Red, Black/Green, White/Red, White/Pink, and Black/Black at $13.99–$15.99, they provide clear-lens UV protection with a lightweight frame suitable for occasional use applications.

Construction and Materials

The NoCry clear safety glasses feature a polycarbonate clear lens in a lightweight wraparound frame with rubber-tipped temples for basic retention. The frame is offered in multiple two-tone color combinations — primarily for aesthetic differentiation — without functional variation between color options. The clear lens provides 99.9% UV protection for indoor and outdoor use without tinting. The glasses are lightweight and designed for comfortable short-to-medium duration wear. Note: several variants carry Amazon ASIN SKUs (B07GB8Y11G, B01AWK1XAS, etc.) indicating Amazon sourcing.

Compliance

ANSI Z87.1 rated for eye protection. 99.9% UV protection. Appropriate for general safety glass applications where basic impact and UV protection are required.

Performance Assessment

The NoCry clear glasses are suited to light-duty applications where a basic safety glass is required without specialized anti-fog, advanced lens technology, or extended-wear comfort features. For DIY woodworking, yard equipment operation, basic construction helper tasks, and home renovation, they provide compliant clear-lens protection at an accessible price. For industrial full-shift wear in manufacturing or construction environments with continuous debris or chemical exposure, options with more robust frame retention and coating options are more appropriate.

Strengths

• Clear lens provides full UV protection without tinting for indoor and outdoor use
• Multiple frame color options for personal preference
• Lightweight frame suitable for short-to-medium duration wear
• ANSI Z87.1 certification for general eye protection applications
• Accessible price point for occasional-use or backup pair provisioning

Limitations

• No anti-fog treatment — not suited to high-humidity or high-exertion environments where fogging is a concern
• Clear lens only — no tinted options for outdoor bright-condition use
• Basic frame retention; not optimal for high-activity construction trades requiring secure fit

Recommended Use Cases

DIY home improvement, yard equipment operation, light construction helper tasks, workshop use, chemical handling in home settings, and any application where basic ANSI Z87.1 clear-lens protection is required at a budget price. Not recommended as the primary safety glass for full-shift industrial or construction wear.

Verdict

The NoCry clear safety glasses are a practical choice for casual and light-duty protective eyewear needs. For full-shift industrial wear, DEWALT's Contractor Pro or UVEX's Protégé provide better-specified options with more robust construction and anti-fog capabilities at moderate premium.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the NoCry glasses include anti-fog coating?

No. The standard NoCry clear safety glasses do not include anti-fog treatment. For anti-fog protection, consider models with anti-fog coatings from DEWALT, UVEX, or Bollé in this catalog.

What ANSI rating do the NoCry clear glasses carry?

ANSI Z87.1 for eye protection. Note that the baseline Z87.1 rating differs from Z87.1+ (Z87 Plus), which applies the more stringent high-velocity and high-mass impact test. Verify the specific rating for your required application.

Can the NoCry glasses be worn over prescription eyeglasses?

The standard NoCry clear glasses are not designed as OTG (over-the-glasses) frames. For prescription eyeglass wearers, NoCry's OTG model is the appropriate option.

Are all color variants the same price?

Prices vary slightly: Black/Red and White/Red are $13.99; Black/Green and White/Pink are $14.99; Black/Black is $15.79; Black/Green Tinted is $15.99. Protective function is identical across all color options.
