KleenGuard Nemesis VL Safety Glasses — Rimless Z87.1+

The KleenGuard Nemesis VL is a rimless, semi-frameless safety glass with a single-piece polycarbonate lens on a three-point fit system, certified ANSI Z87.1+, offered in six lens variants including a Shade 5 IR for cutting and brazing — impact eye protection, not a chemical-splash goggle.

Why the KleenGuard Nemesis VL fits light and fits anywhere

A full-frame safety glass adds weight and can pinch on faces it was not cut for. The VL takes a different route: a rimless, semi-frameless single-piece polycarbonate lens mounted on a three-point fit system — adjustable contact at the nose bridge and both temples — for a stable, flexible fit across head and face sizes without a full frame. It is ANSI Z87.1+ high-impact rated with UV protection and comes in six lens variants. As safety glasses go, this is the lightweight rimless pick, and the best safety glasses guide and the ANSI Z87.1 guide explain the markings. It fits a range of faces without the frame weight.

What the KleenGuard Nemesis VL listing documents

From the published specs: an ANSI Z87.1+ rimless, semi-frameless safety glass; a single-piece polycarbonate lens; a three-point fit system at the nose bridge and temples; UV and impact protection; and six lens variants — Smoke, Clear, Clear Anti-Fog, Indoor/Outdoor, Shade 5 IR, and Blue Mirror. These are true rimless safety glasses and lightweight safety glasses credentials in a z87 safety glasses frame. Confirm the specific variant on the listing.

How the KleenGuard Nemesis VL compares to other eye protection

The safety glasses buyer's guide covers the range.

Where it fits by job and crew orders

The VL suits construction and industrial workers who want a lightweight, fit-anywhere glass across a range of face sizes, plus occasional cutting and brazing with the dedicated Shade 5 IR lens rather than a separate pair — see the construction eyewear guide and the welders eyewear guide for shade guidance. Confirm the variant on the listing and retire the glasses when the lens is damaged.
