Carhartt Ironside Safety Glasses

Carhartt Ironside Safety Glasses

The Carhartt Ironside is a wrap-style safety frame designed for outdoor and industrial environments where ANSI Z87+ impact protection and anti-fog performance are both required. All Ironside models use anti-fog polycarbonate lenses and a straight-back temple design with rubber nosepiece and temple tips for a secure, adjustable fit. Clamshell ("CC") models include a neoprene storage case that doubles as a lens cloth — the same glasses in retail packaging with a protective pouch included.

Key Features

• ANSI Z87+ Certified — Meets ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2015 high-impact standard, covering both high-mass and high-velocity impact testing. Required for most construction, manufacturing, and industrial jobsites.
• Anti-Fog Lenses (All Models) — All Ironside variants use anti-fog treated polycarbonate lenses to resist fogging during temperature changes, exertion, and high-humidity conditions. Critical for workers moving between indoor and outdoor environments or working in physically demanding conditions.
• Three Lens Tints — Gray anti-fog for general outdoor use; antique mirror for reflective finish and glare reduction in bright sunlight; sandstone bronze for enhanced contrast in variable and overcast lighting conditions.
• Neoprene Storage Case (Clamshell Models) — The CHB620DTCC, CHB690DTCC, and CHB618DTCC come with a soft neoprene case that protects the lenses during storage and transport. The case material also serves as a lens cloth for cleaning. Same lenses and frame as the polybag models.
• Straight-Back Flexible Temples — Temple design accommodates hard hats, bump caps, and hearing protection without the pressure points caused by curved-back temples. Rubber tips prevent slippage.
• Rubber Nosepiece — Adjustable rubber nosepiece provides a stable, non-slip fit and can accommodate varied nose bridge profiles.
• Polycarbonate Lenses — Scratch-resistant polycarbonate provides 99% UVA/UVB/UVC protection. Lightweight for all-day wear.

With Case vs. Without Case

The polybag (without case) and clamshell (with case) models are identical in frame, lens, and optical performance. The "With Case" models arrive in retail clamshell packaging and include a neoprene soft case. Choose polybag for cost-effective multi-pair procurement; choose the clamshell model when a protective storage case is needed for a single pair.

Lens Guide

Gray Anti-Fog: General outdoor work — construction, maintenance, surveying. Neutral tint reduces brightness without altering color perception. Suitable for driving and variable outdoor conditions.

Antique Mirror Anti-Fog: Reflective mirror finish for bright outdoor environments. Reduces visible light transmission with an aesthetically distinct appearance preferred in public-facing settings.

Sandstone Bronze Anti-Fog: Warm amber tint enhances contrast between objects and improves visual acuity in overcast, foggy, or variable-light conditions. Well-suited for construction, landscaping, and dawn/dusk work hours.

Compliance

ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2015 certified. Polycarbonate lenses provide 99% UV protection. Anti-fog treatment meets the performance expectations of ANSI Z87.1 for fogging-prone environments.
