Both are polycarbonate safety glasses in the 25–35 gram range typical of economy safety eyewear, but the BK2 is toward the lighter end of that range.

The frame geometry (wider vs. slimmer) affects field of view and lateral coverage, but both frames meet the same impact certification. The BK2's slimmer profile provides slightly less peripheral coverage at the extreme lateral angles than the BK1, which is a comfort and coverage trade-off rather than an impact protection difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #2a2a2a;margin-bottom:2px\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:12px 0;color:#e0e0e0;font-weight:600;list-style:none\"\u003eWhat does ANSI Z87.1+ mean on safety glasses?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"padding:6px 0 14px;color:#bbb;line-height:1.7;margin:0\"\u003eANSI\/ISEA Z87.1 is the U.S. standard for occupational eye and face protection, covering impact resistance, optical clarity, and UV protection.
