MCR Safety Klondike KD5 Series Safety Glasses

The MCR Safety Klondike KD5 distills the Klondike wide-wrap platform to two straightforward variants: Clear with UV Anti-Fog for indoor or fog-prone environments, and Gray with Duramass for outdoor work. Workers who find the Klondike KD7's 15-variant lineup more than they need — or safety managers ordering a simple two-SKU stock for a facility — will find the KD5 directly useful. The slim Klondike profile sits slightly lower-profile than the KD7 while maintaining the same wide-wrap lateral coverage and ANSI Z87.1+ impact rating. For more tint options at the same $9.99 price, see the Klondike KD7; for ratchet temples, see the Klondike KD7R.

Key Features

• Simplified two-variant selection: Clear/UV Anti-Fog for indoor and fog-prone use; Gray/Duramass for outdoor and abrasion-risk environments — covers the two most common safety glasses requirements in one frame with no excess variant decisions.
• Slim Klondike profile: Lower-profile frame height than the KD7 sits closer to the face and reduces forehead gap, providing a more fitted appearance while retaining the Klondike wrap's lateral coverage advantage.
• Wide-wrap lateral coverage: Klondike frame extends past the temple to reduce side-entry of particles and incidental splash from lateral directions — beyond what standard non-wrap safety glasses provide.
• UV Anti-Fog on Clear variant (KD510AF): Anti-fog treatment on the Clear lens prevents the fogging that occurs when moving between cool outdoor areas and warm production floors, or in any environment with elevated humidity.
• Duramass on Gray variant (KD512): Scratch-resistant hard coat extends lens life in outdoor environments where airborne grit, branches, and equipment contact regularly abrade uncoated lenses.
• $9.99 economy price, ANSI Z87.1+ certified: Both KD5 variants meet the high-velocity impact standard required by OSHA for industrial and construction eye protection.

Applications

• Facilities with simple two-zone requirements: Indoor assembly (Clear AF) and outdoor staging or yard (Gray Duramass) — the KD5 covers both with a single frame model and two SKUs.
• Safety managers simplifying procurement: Two variants instead of 15 reduces ordering complexity, reorder error rates, and vending machine SKU count for facilities standardizing on one pair of safety glasses.
• General industry and light manufacturing: Wide-wrap coverage for overhead and lateral particle risk in production environments where workers alternate between areas of differing brightness.
• Construction outdoor work: Gray/Duramass for sustained outdoor construction tasks — roofing, framing, concrete work — where direct sun and abrasive particle contact are the primary lens hazards.
• New-hire and visitor stocking: Simple two-variant selection simplifies issuance decisions — Clear AF for indoor roles, Gray Duramass for outdoor roles.

ANSI Z87.1 Compliance

The MCR Klondike KD5 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.
