OVERVIEW

Uvex Genesis XC Safety Glasses – Shade 3.0 Infra-dura Lens

The Uvex Genesis XC (S3306) represents a significant evolution in protective eyewear, designed to provide workers with superior coverage and comfort in industrial environments. This model features a specialized Shade 3.0 Infra-dura lens, making it an essential piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) for applications such as torch soldering, brazing, and light cutting where protection from infrared (IR) radiation is critical. Unlike standard clear safety glasses, the Infra-dura lens filters out harmful radiation while maintaining visibility, ensuring safety without compromising task performance.

A defining feature of the Genesis XC series is its extended coverage. The "XC" stands for "Xtra Coverage," offering a wrap-around lens design that provides up to 20% more protection for the cheek and side areas compared to the standard Genesis model. This extended profile is crucial for deflecting flying debris, sparks, and particulates that might otherwise bypass smaller frames. The lens is crafted from high-grade polycarbonate and treated with Uvex's proprietary Ultra-dura hardcoat, which delivers enhanced scratch and chemical resistance, significantly prolonging the lifespan of the eyewear in harsh industrial settings.

Ergonomics and fit are central to the design of the S3306. The glasses incorporate Multi-Material Technology (MMT) on the brow guard, which cushions impact points and diffuses pressure for all-day wearability. The soft, flexible nose fingers adjust to fit a wide variety of nasal profiles, reducing slippage and ensuring the glasses stay securely in place during active work. Furthermore, the frames feature ratcheting temples that allow for both length adjustment and lens inclination, enabling a truly customized fit for every worker. Compliant with ANSI Z87.1+ and CSA Z94.3 standards, the Uvex Genesis XC Shade 3.0 glasses combine robust protection with adaptability, making them a top choice for safety managers seeking reliable eye protection solutions.
