DEWALT Converter Safety Glasses — ANSI Z87.1+ Glasses-to-Goggle Convertible

The DEWALT Converter is a glasses-to-goggle hybrid rated ANSI Z87.1+ that converts in the field between traditional safety glasses and sealed-gasket goggles — using interchangeable ratcheting bayonet temple arms and an elastic head strap. A soft foam frame insert forms a conforming seal against the face in goggle mode for dust and debris exclusion, and a large wraparound lens with an enlarged opening improves sightlines. All three lens options include anti-fog.

Why the DEWALT Converter replaces two products

Plenty of shifts mix open-air work with bursts of dusty, active work that need a sealed frame — normally that means carrying both safety glasses and goggles. The Converter folds them into one: bayonet temple arms for open-glasses comfort, or an elastic strap with a foam gasket that seals against dust when the work gets heavy. Switch in the field, no second product. The enlarged lens keeps sightlines open even sealed, and every lens is anti-fog. Our full DEWALT Converter review rates it 4.5/5, and the safety glasses buyer's guide covers when a hybrid beats separate frames.

What the listing documents

From the published specs: ANSI Z87.1+ high-impact rating in both modes; interchangeable ratcheting bayonet temple arms and an elastic head strap for field conversion between open glasses and sealed goggles; a soft foam frame insert forming a conforming seal; a large wraparound lens with an enlarged opening; anti-fog on all three lens options — Clear, Smoke, and Indoor/Outdoor; base model DPG83-11. As dewalt safety glasses go, the Converter is the flexible member — a genuine convertible safety glasses build and a true glasses goggle hybrid.

Choosing your Converter variant

All three anti-fog tints share the convertible frame: Clear Anti-Fog from the clear-lens collection for indoor and sealed dusty work, Smoke Anti-Fog for outdoor glare, and Indoor/Outdoor Anti-Fog for shifting light from the I/O collection. Since fog control is built in, the anti-fog guide and anti-fog collection explain why it matters on a sealed frame, and the clear-vs-smoke lens guide settles the outdoor tint.

Where the Converter sits in the DEWALT line and beyond

The Converter is DEWALT's convertible; for fixed open frames the Supervisor is the premium full-frame and the Contractor Pro carries the widest tints. For other foam-sealed hybrids see the foam-lined collection, and where a true sealed splash or vapor barrier is required, step to the safety goggles collection.

Where it fits by job and crew orders

The convertible design suits demolition, grinding, and mixed indoor-outdoor work where dust comes and goes — the construction, manufacturing, and mechanics guides rank frames by task, and smaller-faced wearers should check the small-face guide. Where the hazard exceeds sealed dust protection — chemical splash, vapor — step to a dedicated goggle from the broader eye protection collection.
