The DEWALT Miter (DPG112) is a premium vented safety glass rated ANSI Z87.1+, built for all-day comfort in high-exertion construction work. Its distinctive two-tone Gray/Yellow frame carries a rubberized brow bar lined with moisture-absorbing foam to manage perspiration, and ventilation ports let air move across the lens as a passive anti-fog mechanism that supplements the coating. It has generous coverage and comes in Clear and Smoke.

Why the DEWALT Miter wins on hot-weather comfort
Summer construction has two enemies of eye protection: sweat running into your eyes and a lens fogging the moment you exert. The Miter tackles both — a foam-padded brow bar that soaks up perspiration before it reaches your eyes or the lens, and ventilation ports that keep air moving as passive anti-fog. On a distinctive two-tone frame with generous coverage, it's the DEWALT glass built for long, hot, high-exertion shifts. Our full DEWALT Miter review rates it 4.5/5, and the safety glasses buyer's guide covers comfort features that drive compliance.
Safety first: the Miter is impact-and-debris protection, not a sealed goggle — it is not rated against a chemical splash hazard, fine airborne dust, or vapor, and its ventilation ports are not appropriate for splash, which requires sealed goggles or a face shield per your hazard assessment. The vents are passive anti-fog, not a full fog seal, so a dedicated anti-fog lens still wins in the most humid work. Choose eyewear against measured hazards with the when-do-you-need-safety-glasses guide.
What the listing documents
From the published specs: ANSI Z87.1+ high-velocity impact rating; a premium vented two-tone Gray/Yellow polycarbonate frame; a rubberized brow bar lined with moisture-absorbing foam; ventilation ports for passive anti-fog airflow; rubber temple tips and generous lens coverage; two tints — Clear and Smoke; base model DPG112-1D. As dewalt safety glasses go, the Miter is the comfort member — a genuine vented safety glasses build and a true foam padded safety glasses option for sweaty work.
Choosing your Miter variant
Two tints on the two-tone frame: Clear from the clear-lens collection for indoor and general use, and Smoke for bright outdoor day — the clear-vs-smoke lens guide settles the call. Because the vents are only passive anti-fog, the most humid work is better served by a dedicated anti-fog lens — see the anti-fog guide and anti-fog collection, and shifting light by an indoor/outdoor lens.
Where the Miter sits in the DEWALT line
The DEWALT line splits by comfort and tier: this Miter is the vented, foam-padded comfort glass, the Supervisor is the premium full-frame wraparound, the Renovator adds a brow guard for overhead debris, and the Contractor Pro carries the widest tints. Browse the full DEWALT safety glasses collection, and the best safety glasses 2026 roundup places the line against other brands.
Where it fits by job and crew orders
The sweat management and vents suit hot, high-exertion construction and outdoor trades — the construction, manufacturing, and mechanics guides rank frames by task, and smaller-faced wearers should check the small-face guide and women's fit guide. Where the hazard exceeds impact — splash, dust, vapor — step to a sealed goggle from the safety goggles collection or the broader eye protection collection.

Reading the Z87 marking, and what it does not cover
Protective eyewear in the US is built to ANSI/ISEA Z87.1, and OSHA 1910.133 requires eye protection that meets it. The marking on the frame is the specification, and the important distinction is a single character: Z87 is basic impact, Z87+ is high impact — tested with a quarter-inch steel ball at 150 ft/s for spectacles. If the work throws anything, Z87+ is the line.
The suffixes narrow it further: D3 is splash and droplet, D4 dust, D5 fine dust. These matter because a spectacle cannot earn D3 — droplet protection needs a sealed goggle. Safety glasses are impact protection, not chemical splash protection, however wraparound the lens looks, and substituting one for the other is a common and consequential error.
A face shield is also secondary protection under 1910.133: it is worn over primary eye protection, never instead of it. And tint is not shade — a dark lens without a stated IR/UV shade number offers no rated protection against radiant energy.
Frequently asked questions
What is the DEWALT Miter?
A premium vented safety glass rated ANSI Z87.1+, built for all-day comfort in high-exertion work. A two-tone Gray/Yellow frame carries a rubberized brow bar lined with moisture-absorbing foam, and ventilation ports allow airflow that helps minimize lens fogging. It comes in Clear and Smoke.
What does the foam-padded brow bar do?
The rubberized brow bar is lined with moisture-absorbing foam that manages perspiration across the forehead - catching sweat before it runs into your eyes or onto the lens during high-exertion work. It's the Miter's main all-day comfort feature.
How do the vents help with fogging?
Ventilation ports in the frame reduce internal air-pressure buildup and let air move across the lens, a passive anti-fog mechanism that supplements the lens's coating. It won't fully seal out fog like a dedicated treatment, but it helps in warm, active work.
Is it ANSI Z87.1+ rated?
Yes - it meets ANSI Z87.1 for high-velocity impact (the high-velocity criterion marked by the '+'), so it satisfies the requirement for most construction and industrial eye hazards.
What tints does the Miter come in?
Clear and Smoke, both on the two-tone Gray/Yellow frame. Clear for indoor and general use, Smoke for bright outdoor day; match the tint to your light.
Is the Miter good for hot, sweaty work?
Yes - that's its target use. The foam brow pad soaks up perspiration and the vents keep air moving, which together suit high-exertion summer construction where sweat and fog are the comfort problems.
How is the Miter different from the Renovator?
Both add comfort features, but differently: the Miter uses a foam-padded brow bar and vents for sweat and passive anti-fog, while the Renovator uses a TPR brow guard to deflect overhead falling debris. Pick the Miter for sweat and fog comfort, the Renovator for overhead debris.
Is it over-the-glasses (OTG)?
No - the Miter is not an OTG frame. Prescription-glasses wearers should look at an over-the-glasses model or the DEWALT Reinforcer RX bifocal.
Is it enough, or do I need goggles?
The Miter protects against impact and debris from the front and sides. It does not seal against a chemical splash hazard, fine dust, or vapor - and its vents are not appropriate for splash - those need sealed goggles or a face shield. Match the eyewear to your hazard assessment.
Does the foam brow pad need maintenance?
Keep the foam clean and dry between uses; replace the glasses if the foam degrades or no longer absorbs. A clean brow pad is what keeps sweat out of your eyes and off the lens.
How do I care for the lenses?
Rinse grit before wiping and use a microfiber or lens-safe cloth; keep the vents clear and avoid harsh cleaners on the lens coating. Retire a lens once scratches enter your line of sight - a scratched safety lens no longer protects fully.

Good safety glasses
Fits well so very comfortable when wearing. Good quality glasses especially for being so inexpensive and feel pretty safe wearing, haven't had anything crazy flying at me yet that required safety glasses but feel safe having them on. Seem strong and durable and wouldn't hesitate to buy again, Dewalt always makes good products.

Way better than what you pay for!
Because they are 'UV protection safety goggles’, I quickly made them my ‘go to’ sunglasses for driving and all other activities to test them out! My eyes are EXTREMELY comfortable using these as my sunglasses! They are EXTREMELY light weight and fit very comfortably - they don’t slip in hot, sweaty work conditions, and never feel weighty on my nose! I have a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses, and these are by far superior in comfort and hot weather grip! Granted, they cost less than ten bucks, but they are worth every penny and a whole lot more!

★★★★☆
A step above your standard safety glasses, with a bit of styling.
These are a bit on the lightweight side, which I as not expecting based on the images.The frames are fairly flexible, so they should conform to most faces fairly well, unless you have a really wide head.The tint on the lens is quite light too. They will provide some protection from sunlight, but not as much as typical sunglasses would. That might be beneficial if you also use these indoors.They look cheaper and more like safety glasses in person than the photos make them appear.I do like them despite the cheaper feeling and light lens tint.The price for the 2-pack seems reasonable at $16.I will consider buying another pair when mine become damaged beyond usability.

Anti fog
Lightweight and form nicely around the face. Spent an hour weed eating the yard and they never fogged up. I will be ordering more for family.
