DEWALT DPG99 Polarized Safety Glasses — ANSI Z87.1+ Outdoor Glare Control

The DEWALT DPG99 Polarized is the premium-tier outdoor safety glass in the DEWALT lineup — ANSI Z87.1+ with a polarized smoke lens for glare reduction on high-reflectivity surfaces. The polarized filter substantially cuts the horizontal glare reflection from wet pavement, standing water, concrete slab pours, and glass curtain walls that standard tinted lenses do not address. It uses a sporty wraparound frame with rubber-tipped temples, in Polarized Smoke.

Why the DEWALT DPG99 tames reflected glare

On a concrete slab pour, a waterfront site, or a glass-clad building, the glare isn't just bright — it bounces off flat surfaces straight into your eyes, and a plain smoke lens only dims it. The DPG99's polarized filter removes that reflected glare specifically, so you see the work instead of the shine, with less eye strain across a long outdoor shift. It's the DEWALT glass for bright, reflective jobsites. Our full DEWALT DPG99 review rates it 4.6/5, and the polarized-vs-non-polarized guide explains when polarization earns its price.

Choosing the DPG99 for your conditions

The DPG99 is a single-purpose outdoor lens: Polarized Smoke for bright, reflective work. The clear-vs-smoke lens guide covers where a smoke tint helps or hurts, and the polarized collection shows other polarized options. For indoor or variable-light tasks, keep a clear lens from the clear-lens collection or an indoor/outdoor lens on hand, since polarized smoke is too dark indoors.
