Why the Uvex Stealth S3970D OTG fits over prescription glasses
Prescription-wearing workers are the ones most often out of compliance in a splash zone — a standard goggle forced over eyeglasses distorts, pinches, and gets left off. The S3970D OTG fixes that with an enlarged frame cavity sized to fit over a wide range of prescription spectacles comfortably, sealing impact, splash, and particulate protection over the glasses the worker already wears, with dual-coated Dura-Streme anti-fog and scratch-resistant clear lenses. It is ANSI Z87.1 compliant and meets OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133. As safety goggles go, this is the over-the-glasses Dura-Streme pick, and the glasses vs goggles guide and the ANSI Z87.1 guide explain when a goggle is required. It seals over the prescription instead of fighting it.
Safety first: as a sealed goggle the S3970D is intended for a chemical splash hazard as well as dust and particulate — confirm the specific D3 splash marking on the listing for your chemical. Where the face also needs coverage, add a face shield over the goggle; for flying-particle-only work without prescription frames underneath, open safety glasses may suffice. Match the protection to the hazard with the glasses vs face shields guide, and confirm your prescription frame fits the cavity.
What the Uvex Stealth S3970D OTG listing documents
From the published specs: an ANSI Z87.1 sealed safety goggle; an OTG enlarged frame cavity that fits over prescription spectacles; Dura-Streme dual-coated anti-fog and scratch-resistant clear lenses; impact, splash, and particulate protection; and compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133. These are true otg safety goggle and over the glasses goggle credentials in a dura-streme goggle. Confirm the D3 marking and your frame fit on the listing.
How the Uvex Stealth S3970D OTG compares to other eye protection
For the HydroShield OTG version, the Uvex Stealth S3970DF OTG; for the standard-fit Dura-Streme goggle, the Uvex Stealth S3960D; for the gray HydroShield version, the Uvex Stealth S3961HS; for a DeWalt sealed goggle, the DeWalt DPG82 Concealer; and for face-level coverage, the face shields collection. The eye protection buyer's guide covers the range.
Choosing the right eye protection for the hazard
Match the fit, coating, and seal to the hazard and to whether workers wear prescriptions. Browse the eye protection and anti-fog eyewear collections; for the anti-fog trade-off, the anti-fog guide and the anti-fog vs anti-scratch guide; and for the model comparison, the best safety glasses guide.
Where it fits by job and crew orders
The S3970D OTG suits prescription-wearing workers in laboratory, chemical-handling, and construction roles facing impact, splash, or dust — see the laboratory eyewear guide and the mechanics eyewear guide. Fitting a sealed goggle over the worker's own glasses removes the excuse to work without eye protection, which is where many prescription-related compliance gaps start. Confirm the D3 marking and frame fit on the listing, and retire the goggle when the seal, lens, or vents are worn.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Uvex Stealth S3970D OTG?
An ANSI Z87.1 over-the-glasses safety goggle with an enlarged frame cavity that fits over prescription spectacles, and dual-coated Dura-Streme clear lenses. It gives prescription-wearing workers sealed impact, splash, and particulate protection.
What does OTG mean?
OTG is Over-The-Glasses - the goggle has a larger-than-standard frame cavity sized to fit over a wide range of prescription spectacle frames without distortion, discomfort, or the compliance failures of forcing a standard goggle over eyeglasses.
Do I still wear my own prescription glasses?
Yes - the OTG design is worn over your existing prescription glasses; it does not contain a prescription lens itself. Confirm your frame size fits within the cavity on the listing.
Is it rated for chemical splash?
As a sealed goggle it blocks splash and particulate from any angle and meets OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133. Confirm the specific D3 splash marking on the product listing for your chemical task.
What is Dura-Streme?
Dura-Streme is Uvex's dual-coated lens system applying anti-fog and scratch-resistant coatings to both the inside and outside lens surfaces, for all-day clarity in humid, high-temperature work.
How is a goggle different from safety glasses?
A goggle seals against the face around the eye socket, blocking particles, liquid splash, and mist from any angle; open safety glasses leave gaps at the sides and top.
When should I choose the OTG version?
Choose the OTG S3970D when workers wear prescription glasses and need sealed goggle protection over them; choose the standard S3960D when prescription fit is not required.
Does the OTG version fog more?
A larger cavity can trap more air, so the Dura-Streme dual-coat anti-fog helps; for the most demanding fog conditions choose the HydroShield OTG version, the S3970DF.
Can I wear it under a face shield or hard hat?
The Stealth low-profile form helps it pair with other PPE; confirm compatibility with your face shield or hard hat on the listing.
How do I care for it?
Clean the lens with lens-safe wipes, keep the sealing surface and vents clear, and retire the goggle when the lens is scratched, the seal degrades, or a vent is blocked, since a damaged goggle no longer performs as rated.
What sizes of glasses fit inside?
The cavity fits a wide range of standard prescription frames; confirm your frame dimensions against the listing before ordering for a crew.
How do I order for a crew?
Quantity purchasing runs through a free Amazon Business account - volume pricing, PO numbers at checkout, and tax-exempt eligibility for qualifying organizations. The bulk-ordering walkthrough is linked in our site footer.

Wonderful safety goggles!
I bought these to protect my eyes during welding from all the flying metal when I'm grinding metal.My main concern was whether or not they would fog up. I was particularly concerned because I sweat a lot while I'm working (welding is hot work).So, I wore these goggles for about 2 hours solid, never taking them off and while sweating a lot. In fact, by the time I had finished my work, the rubber face seal around the goggles was rimmed with sweat.BUT, much to my *GREAT* delight, the goggles NEVER ONCE even *began* to fog up!** EDIT: Since this initial testing, I have actually had the goggles fog up significantly, but I'm not sure why. **For me, that's a critical issue, because while working in all my welding gear, it'd be a huge mess to have to take them off and try to defog them.The goggles have vents on the top and bottom -- perhaps that's how they prevent fogging. BUT, I should point out that there was no noticeable breeze where I was working (I was working indoors), so that means that the goggles can stay fog-free even without a breeze actively blowing through the vents! WOW!I also have a very large head and the goggles fit very comfortably: my head at the browline measures 25.0 inches around using a tape measure. However, I do not wear glasses and I do not have a super thick hairstyle (such as an afro or anything like that).They are also very comfortable to wear and seem very well made. I'm VERY pleased with them!

High quality and great fit.
I'm a welding student, and I purchased this goggles based on a recommendation by a friend who also wears glasses (and for those of us that wear glasses, you all know how much of a pain it can be to find ANY sort of eye protection that works well with your glasses). I will say that I expected this product to be of high quality, but I was blown away by how clean and well made they really are. Very high quality materials, and the fit was amazing. Very well thought out for people that wear glasses: Instead of foam padding around the edges of the frames like on most goggles, these have a soft C-Channel rubber gasket around them that form very easily to my glasses, and seal very well to my face with no issue. I wore these for almost 5 hours straight in class today without any discomfort.The only two gripes about them so far: First, the rubber gasket forms so well around your glasses, that it has a habit of pulling them off when you go to take the goggles off. Second, the ventilation does not work as well as it should for wearing with glasses. It's very humid in this area right now, and I noticed that my glasses fogged up pretty quickly if I was standing still, but cleared up when I started walking (and getting the air circulating through the vents) Other than that, this has been a great purchase, and I will be ordering more UVEX products in the future.

Great goggles - Comfortable, no fogging, but not really OTG
I bought these goggles the next day after I got home from the ER after having a piece of metal embedded in my eye. I don't know how it got in there as I had a cheaper pair of goggles on, but it did. I wanted a pair of goggles that was more comfortable that I wouldn't want to take off as much. These fit the bill!These are comfortable goggles. While I'm not sure I would want to wear them all day, I can wear them much longer than the cheap Harbor Freight goggles I had been using. Amazingly, these do not fog up either. I will sweat inside and have sweat running down the lens, but they don't fog up.I went with the neoprene strap. Personally, if I have to order another pair, I'll try the fabric strap next time. So far these have been great.As for the OTG capability... It seems like these are border line OTG. These will fit over my tinted safety glasses that are more curved and form fitting to my face, but they don't fit over my Rx glasses that are more square by my temples. I would say if you need OTG for Rx glasses, you should probably find another pair as I doubt these will fit.I also ordered the recommended hardshell case to keep these in and that fits these goggles perfectly. Now I can keep them in my tool bag with my grinder and I don't have to worry about them getting scratched.

Excellent Goggles, Excellent Value
I have two pairs of these, one is department-issue for wildland firefighting, the other I bought here on Amazon for use as shop goggles. They have proven to be very durable and very comfortable. The level of fog-up is not bad at all given how much protection they offer from particulate. I have used them around smoke and also with automotive spray guns, and they do a very nice job of keeping fine particles out of your eyes. I don't know how "stealth" these are, you certainly won't be forgetting you have them on, but as full-coverage goggles go, they are fairly low profile. The nose piece sits high enough to dovetail just fine with a 3M respirator, and the top sits low enough to work fine with a helmet. The edges are very nicely contoured which minimizes accidentally knocking them off your face when you go to adjust your helmet or scratch your head.Overall, I am very pleased with these, and think they are a killer value.Note that these are not large enough for prescription glasses to go underneath.

Works for smaller glasses
These work very well over your regular glasses IF you have smaller frames. If you have plastic frames or wider metal frames these may not fit. Also it's impossible to take off the safety glasses without also removing your regular glasses as the fit between the rubber surround on the safety glasses and regular glasses is tight.That said, these are very high quality, impact and scratch resistant and optically clear. Also they are very comfortable to wear for long periods and when worn correctly, do not fog up.

Great product, awful customer support
These are, without question, the most comfortable and clear goggles I've ever worn. The goggles are a five-star product, but Uvex's customer support brings it down to three.Originally, I had a pair with the amber lens in place and decided I'd like to use these for oxyfuel cutting. Airgas told me they couldn't sell just one shade 5 lens; Uvex insisted that the shade 5 lenses must be sold in 10-packs, which cost over $70 at the time.Everywhere I looked online, Uvex distributors were selling the shade 5 lenses only in 10-packs. Unless you're outfitting a commercial workshop or you're too stupid to keep your face out of the fire, you won't need ten lenses. Because the Stealth OTG is so comfortable, I eventually decided to just buy another set of goggles with the shade 5 lens already in place. It's a superior product, but Uvex's customer support is such an utter failure that it forced me to waste money on something I have no use for, just so I could scavenge the one piece I really wanted in the first place.Also of note: the headband on the shade 5 goggles is rubber, while the headband on my amber lens model is much more comfortable fabric. Having the option to choose what you want at the time of purchase would be nice, but again, Uvex isn't interested in providing that kind of service.Would I buy this product again? Not if I can find another comfortable, well-made goggle from a manufacturer who will actually sell me a replacement lens.

Great safety goggles with style
After a lot of research on safety goggles I ended up buying these because of the great reviews and the style. Prior to these I had been using a cheaper pair of safety goggles which were awefull and would completely fog over after a minute of use so I couldnt see what I was doing. I wear perscription glasses and these Uvex goggles fit perfectly over my glasses, they are very comfortable, and best of all dont fog up!!Pros:* Great quality* Comfortable, even for long periods of time* They dont fog up* They are stylish (in a geeky kind of way) and match the 3M 7502 Resperator Mask I bought with them: 3M 7500 Series Reusable Half Facepiece, Model 7502. Size: Medium* Fit over perscription glassesCons:* When taking these off they sometimes pull my perscription glasses with them, not a big deal though.Great goggles, highly recommended and I couldnt be happier with them.

Really good goggles
I purchased these for my chemistry lab classes for this year and they have held up very well. There are times that they will fog up which is irritating, but a common issue that is encountered with all safety goggles. I was hoping that the rubber cushion would prevent the lovely ring that appears after they have been worn for a while, but after a 3 hour lab class with them on the entire time, the red ring was there. I wont hold this against the goggles, as they were comfortable and that in itelf is a step up from the ones that they had available for us to purchase on campus.I had actually left them in my car and my dad saw them when I was home visiting and loved them, so I bought him a pair for when he is doing yardwork to help with wind and other debris from bothering his eyes. They fit around his glasses well and he is very happy with them.

Buy these and be the coolest dork in Chem Lab.
That's what I did... and I am pretty sure I was invited to 100% more parties than I was BEFORE I showed up to lab in these awesome goggles.When you first put them a feeling of superiority washes over you - you know that you are no longer an ordinary lab student. You look cool, like this isn't your first rodeo (if you know what I mean).Basically I purchased them because the craptastic lab goggles that I have been subjected to for about 10 years cut into my nose and leave this ridiculous imprint around my face... It was starting to affect my dating life. It was then that I was introduced to the wonder of Uvex professional safety goggles that just happen to meet my OSHA requirements. I'm married so my dating life really hasn't improved much, but the four eyes jokes have subsided and I don't have blinding headaches after lab (unless I've been sniffing chemicals).Seriously... These goggles are great - they really don't leave huge marks or fog up. I bought a case for them so they don't get scratched up and they have been the best money I have spent on goggles ever.
