MCR Safety Klondike KD3 Series Safety Glasses

The MCR Safety Klondike KD3 offers the full Klondike frame with Duramass scratch-resistant hard coat in a single clear-lens variant — making it the simplest possible purchasing decision in the Klondike line. At $19.99 it sits above the KD7's $9.99 price, reflecting the full-coverage Klondike frame construction rather than additional tint selection. This is the correct choice when a site requires a specific Klondike model for its coverage geometry and a single unambiguous SKU is preferred for procurement simplicity. For more variant options at the same or lower price, see the Klondike KD7; for the premium multi-tint Klondike, see the Klondike KD1.

Key Features

• Single clear variant — zero variant ambiguity: One SKU covers the full KD3 order, eliminating the variant selection step and the risk of ordering the wrong tint/coating in a bulk purchase.
• Full Klondike wrap coverage: The Klondike frame geometry extends significantly past the brow and temple, reducing lateral particle ingress beyond what standard non-wrap safety glasses provide.
• Duramass scratch-resistant hard coat: MCR's proprietary hard coat extends lens life in abrasive environments — concrete dust, wood chips, metal shavings, and equipment handling that regularly contacts the lens surface.
• Clear lens for universal indoor use: Clear polycarbonate transmits near-full visible light, appropriate for indoor manufacturing, lab work, assembly, and any task requiring full color accuracy and minimal light reduction.
• ANSI/ISEA Z87.1+ High Impact: Certified for high-velocity impact at the level required by OSHA 1910.133 for general industry and 1926.102 for construction.
• UV400 protection: Polycarbonate blocks 99.9% of UVA and UVB radiation — relevant for any outdoor work performed with clear lens glasses.

Applications

• Indoor manufacturing and assembly lines: Clear lens Duramass for sustained indoor work where overhead and lateral particle risk is present — grinding, stamping, assembly operations producing flying debris.
• Laboratory and chemical handling: Clear lens allows accurate color discrimination for chemical identification and label reading — relevant for quality control, analytical lab, and chemical handling environments.
• Construction indoor work: Interior framing, drywall, electrical rough-in, plumbing work where clear lens is preferred over tinted for work in non-sunlit interior spaces.
• Procurement programs requiring single-SKU simplicity: Safety managers who need to issue one specific Klondike model without variant confusion benefit from the KD3's single-SKU structure.
• Visitor and temporary worker programs: Single-variant dispensing reduces PPE kiosk configuration complexity and reorder errors.

ANSI Z87.1 Compliance

The MCR Klondike KD3 carries ANSI/ISEA Z87.1+ High Impact certification — required for occupational eye protection under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 (general industry) and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.102 (construction). The Z87.1+ high-velocity rating confirms the polycarbonate lens withstands a 1/4-inch steel ball at 150 fps without fracture.

Polycarbonate inherently blocks 99.9% of UVA/UVB radiation. Employers must conduct a hazard assessment per OSHA 1910.132(d) and provide ANSI Z87.1-compliant eye protection when flying particles, chemical splash, dust, or radiation hazards exist.
