17862 - ESAB Impact Resistant Coverall Goggles

Comprehensive Eye Protection for Industrial Environments

The ESAB Coverall Safety Goggle (SKU: 17862) is engineered to provide superior ocular protection in demanding industrial settings. In environments where airborne particulates, high-velocity impact hazards, and chemical splashes are prevalent, standard safety glasses often fail to provide an adequate seal. These coverall goggles bridge that gap by offering a full-seal design that contours to the face, ensuring that debris cannot bypass the lens from the top, bottom, or sides. Manufactured with a soft, flexible PVC body, the frame adapts to individual facial structures, providing a comfortable fit even during extended periods of wear.

A critical feature of this model is its optical-grade polycarbonate lens. Polycarbonate is the material of choice for industrial safety eyewear due to its exceptional impact resistance—far exceeding that of glass or standard plastic. This ensures that the wearer is protected against flying chips, grinding sparks, and other mechanical hazards common in metalworking and fabrication. Furthermore, the lens is designed to maintain optical clarity, reducing eye strain and allowing for precision work without visual distortion.

Ventilation is a key factor in goggle performance, particularly regarding fog mitigation. The ESAB 17862 utilizes an indirect ventilation system. Unlike direct vents, which are open holes that allow straight-line access for particles and liquids, indirect vents use a hooded or offset design. This allows air to circulate, regulating humidity and temperature inside the goggle to reduce fogging, while simultaneously blocking the direct path of liquid splashes or heavy dust. This makes the goggle suitable for a wider range of applications, including those where liquid chemicals or coolants are present.

Compliance and compatibility are also prioritized. These goggles are designed to meet strict ANSI Z87.1 safety standards, certifying their impact resistance and coverage. Additionally, the "coverall" form factor is specifically sized to accommodate most prescription eyewear (OTG - Over The Glass), allowing personnel who require corrective lenses to work safely without compromising their vision or comfort. The adjustable elastic headband ensures a secure fit, preventing slippage during vigorous activity.
