The Swagger SR4 addresses the one gap in the SR1 and SR2: peripheral coverage. Its wider lens geometry wraps further around the temple, reducing the side-entry angle for airborne particles, sparks, and UV without requiring a full goggle. MAX6 anti-fog makes the SR4 suitable for steam-prone or humid environments, while the Black Mirror polarized variant targets marine, driving, and outdoor construction workers who want polarized glare control with a premium appearance. For the widest Swagger tint selection including Fire Red, the SR1 is the baseline; for the mono-lens Blades premium format, step up to the UD1.
Key Features
- Wider lateral coverage β the SR4's lens extends further past the orbital rim than the SR1 or SR2, reducing side-exposure to sparks, dust, and UV from oblique angles β an advantage for grinding, cutting, and wind-exposed outdoor work.
- MAX6 Anti-Fog β MCR's premium anti-fog coating rated 10Γ more effective than standard UV-AF; dual-surface application maintains fog resistance in steam, cold-to-warm transitions, and high-humidity environments.
- Black Mirror Polarized β the MAX36 polarized variant pairs a sleek black mirror exterior with polarized glare elimination; the premium option for marine, driving, and reflective-surface outdoor construction.
- Fire Mirror tint β shared with the SR1; a reddish-orange reflective coating for intense outdoor sun with a bold appearance popular in landscaping and construction.
- ANSI/ISEA Z87.1+ rated β high-velocity impact certified on all tint and coating variants.
- Adjustable or spring-hinge temples β sport frames in the SR series include temple designs that accommodate a range of head widths; verify SR4 temple spec against the product listing for your application.

Applications
- Grinding & cutting β wider lateral coverage reduces the solid-angle through which sparks or grinding wheel fragments can reach the eye from off-axis directions.
- Outdoor construction β MAX6 Gray handles sun and fog simultaneously; wide coverage reduces wind-driven dust entry at the lens edges on open sites.
- Marine & waterfront β Black Mirror MAX36 polarized eliminates horizontal water-surface glare while the anti-fog coating manages sea spray humidity.
- Driving & transportation β polarized variant reduces dashboard reflection and wet-road glare; wider lens geometry provides more visual field in peripheral driving checks.
- Chemical processing β wider side coverage reduces chemical mist entry; Clear variant for indoor low-light chemical handling areas.

ANSI Z87.1 Compliance
The MCR Safety Swagger SR4 is ANSI/ISEA Z87.1+ certified across all tint and coating variants β including the MAX36 polarized version. The Z87.1+ High Velocity rating requires both the lens and the frame to independently pass impact testing; the additional coatings (MAX6, MAX36) do not reduce this rating. The SR4 satisfies OSHA 1910.133 (general industry) and OSHA 1926.102 (construction) eye protection requirements.
The wider wraparound lens geometry of the SR4 also contributes to compliance with the ANSI Z87.1 side protection requirement β the standard requires that safety eyewear provide protection from hazards originating from lateral directions, and the SR4's extended wrap reduces the unprotected solid angle at the lens edges.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the SR4's coverage wider than the SR1 or SR2?
The SR4's lens geometry has a larger lateral wrap angle β the lens extends further around the temporal (side) region of the face. This reduces the gap between the lens edge and the orbital rim, lowering the angle at which debris, sparks, or UV can reach the eye from the side. The SR1 and SR2 have standard sport-wrap coverage; the SR4 is the step up for applications where side exposure is a documented hazard.
When does MAX6 outperform standard anti-fog?
MAX6 is appropriate when standard anti-fog repeatedly fails in your environment. Standard UV-AF is a single-surface hydrophilic treatment that works in moderate temperature transitions. MAX6 applies a durable, dual-surface formulation that MCR rates 10Γ more effective β the right choice for cold-storage to warehouse transitions, steam cleaning areas, spray booths, and humid outdoor environments where fogging is a persistent daily problem rather than an occasional nuisance.
What is Black Mirror Polarized and how is it different from Blue Diamond Mirror?
Black Mirror Polarized (MAX36) combines a dark mirror exterior coating with a polarized filter that blocks horizontally polarized reflected glare. It also includes MAX36's anti-fog and scratch-resistant treatments. Blue Diamond Mirror is a non-polarized mirror lens with a blue-chrome exterior appearance. Polarized lenses reduce glare from water, roads, and reflective surfaces; mirror lenses only reduce light transmission and add the reflective exterior look.
Is the SR4 available in Clear with anti-fog?
The SR4 Clear variant is available in Standard coating. For Clear with anti-fog in the Swagger line, verify if the SR4 Clear AF variant exists in current catalog β if not, the SR5 offers Clear MAX6 anti-fog specifically.
What does ANSI Z87.1+ mean on safety glasses?
ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 is the American occupational eye protection standard. The + suffix designates High Velocity impact certification β a 1/4-inch steel ball at 150 fps fired at the lens and frame assembly. All SR4 variants carry this rating.
How do I choose between Clear, Gray, and Amber lenses?
Clear: ~90% light transmission β indoor, low-light, or night shifts. Gray: 15β20% transmission β outdoor sun with true-color rendering; the standard all-purpose outdoor tint. Amber: enhances contrast in overcast or foggy conditions β not available on the SR4; see the BearKat BK1 or Klondike KD1 for Amber.
What is the difference between UV Anti-Fog, MAX3, and MAX6 coatings?
UV Anti-Fog: basic anti-fog treatment on one surface. MAX3: enhanced scratch-resistant hard coat without anti-fog. MAX6: premium dual-surface anti-fog, 10Γ more effective than standard β the SR4's anti-fog option. MAX36 (on polarized variant): polarized + anti-fog + scratch resistance combined.
Can I wear the SR4 over prescription glasses?
No β the SR4 is a direct-wear sport wrap, not an OTG frame. For prescription eyeglass wearers, see the Klondike OG2 OTG with Hi-Vis frame options and MAX6 anti-fog.
