About the Sellstrom Odyssey II Wildland Fire Goggles

This is a fireline goggle, and every feature reflects that. The frame is a high-temperature-resistant TPV rated to roughly 350°F, so it holds its shape near radiant heat where an ordinary plastic frame could soften. It is non-vented — no vent ports means smoke and fine ash have no way in — and the lens carries Sellstrom's STA-Clear anti-fog coating plus scratch resistance to offset the fogging that non-vented designs invite. A soft closed-cell foam layer seals it to the face, the strap is flame-resistant, and the OTG shape fits over prescription glasses. It meets ANSI Z87.1+ for high impact, along with NFPA 70E and CSA.

The detail to get right is the lens tint. This SKU is the smoke (tinted) lens, which is what you want against fireline glare — but a tint reduces light transmission, so it is the wrong choice for indoor or low-light work. If you need a clear lens, the S80225 is the same goggle with clear optics, and for general shop use one of our clear-lens goggles is the better buy. Our best safety goggles guide compares the options.

Goggle vs Safety Glasses — and Which Tint

A goggle seals to the face with a foam gasket and wraps the eye area, which is the only way to exclude smoke, ash, and fine dust. Safety glasses are open spectacles with gaps at the sides and brow — fine for impact and flying chips, useless against smoke or airborne fines. So for fireline, dust storms, or heavy particulate, the goggle is the correct class, and this one adds the heat and FR features a general goggle lacks.

On tint: smoke lenses belong outdoors in bright conditions and on the fireline; clear lenses belong indoors, in shops, and anywhere light is limited. Many crews carry both. If you want the same Odyssey II protection with clear optics, that is the S80225; for general indoor impact and splash work, compare a clear anti-fog goggle such as the 3M GoggleGear 500 or the 3M Centurion 452AF. For when eye protection is required at all, see when do you need safety glasses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this goggle a clear lens or a smoke (tinted) lens?

This SKU (S80226) is the SMOKE — tinted — lens version, even though the store title currently reads "Clear Lens." The clear-lens version of the same Odyssey II wildland goggle is the S80225. That difference matters: a tinted lens cuts light transmission, so it suits bright outdoor fireline work but is not appropriate for indoor or low-light tasks. Confirm the lens tint before ordering.

What model number is this goggle really?

S80226. The store title shows "S79101," but the SKU field and the listing both resolve to the Sellstrom S80226 Odyssey II wildland goggle. (Sellstrom's S79100 is an X350 OTG safety glass — a different product line, and spectacles rather than a goggle.) Order by S80226 to get this item.

What is a wildland fire goggle built to do differently?

Three things: it is non-vented so smoke and fine ash cannot get in through vent ports; its frame is high-temperature-resistant TPV rated to roughly 350°F for radiant heat near the fireline; and its strap is flame-resistant. A general-purpose goggle has none of that, which is why wildland crews use a purpose-built model.

Does non-vented mean it fogs up?

Non-vented designs are more fog-prone by nature, which is exactly why this goggle uses Sellstrom's STA-Clear anti-fog coating on the lens. In practice you trade some ventilation for smoke exclusion and rely on the coating plus a good face seal. Keep the lens clean and avoid wiping the anti-fog coating with abrasive cloths.

Can I wear it over prescription glasses?

Yes — it is an OTG (over-the-glasses) design with a soft closed-cell foam face seal that conforms around eyewear. Check that your frames sit comfortably inside without breaking the foam seal, since a gap at the seal defeats the smoke and dust exclusion.

What ANSI rating does it carry?

It meets ANSI Z87.1+ — the "+" designating high-impact performance — and is also listed to NFPA 70E and CSA. That covers impact protection; it is not marketed with a D3 chemical-splash rating, so do not substitute it for a dedicated splash goggle.

Is it a goggle or safety glasses?

A goggle. It seals to the face with a foam gasket and wraps the eye area, which is what lets it exclude smoke, ash, and dust. Safety glasses are open spectacles with gaps at the sides, top, and bottom — they cannot seal out smoke or fine particulate no matter how well they fit.

What is the frame made of, and why does that matter?

A high-temperature-resistant TPV (thermoplastic vulcanizate) frame, chosen because it stays flexible and holds shape near radiant heat where a standard plastic frame could soften or deform. Combined with the FR strap, that is what makes it fireline-appropriate rather than just another goggle.

Can I use it for grinding, cutting, or general construction?

Physically yes for impact — it is Z87.1+ rated — but the smoke tint is the limiting factor: a tinted lens in a shop or indoors reduces the light you need to see the work. For general indoor impact protection choose a clear-lens goggle instead, and keep this one for bright outdoor and fireline use.

How do I clean the lens without ruining the anti-fog coating?

Rinse with clean water to lift ash and grit first, then dry with a soft microfiber or lens cloth. Do not use paper towels, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, which scratch the lens and strip anti-fog coatings. Store it in a pouch or case so the lens does not rub against gear.

When should a goggle be replaced?

Replace it after any significant impact, when the lens is scratched enough to distort vision, when the anti-fog performance drops off, or when the foam seal or strap is compressed, hardened, or heat-damaged. On the fireline, heat exposure ages foam and elastic faster than normal use.

What should I pair with these goggles?

Fireline eye protection works alongside the rest of the head-and-face kit, and for non-fire work you will want a clear-lens goggle for indoor tasks. If your hazards include chemical splash or heavy dust rather than smoke, pick a goggle rated for that specific exposure instead of adapting this one — see our eye protection range.
