OVERVIEW

High-Performance Protective Eyewear for Industrial Applications

The Uvex Genesis XC Safety Glasses (SKU: UVXS3307) represent a premium solution for personnel engaged in oxy-fuel welding, cutting, and brazing operations. Engineered by Honeywell Uvex, the Genesis XC series sets a high standard for protective eyewear by combining advanced optical clarity with robust impact resistance. This specific model features a Shade 5.0 Infra-dura lens, which is essential for filtering harmful infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation generated during gas welding processes.

A defining characteristic of the Genesis XC is its extended coverage design. The wrap-around lens provides approximately 20% more coverage than the standard Genesis model, effectively sealing the gap between the eyewear and the face to prevent the intrusion of flying debris, sparks, and particulate matter. This extended profile also enhances peripheral vision protection, a critical safety factor in busy industrial environments.

Comfort and fit are optimized through Multi-Material Technology (MMT). The brow guard is cushioned to absorb and diffuse impact energy, while soft, flexible nose fingers adjust to fit a wide range of nasal profiles, reducing slippage during active work. The temples are adjustable in both length and inclination, allowing users to tailor the fit to their specific facial geometry. The lens is treated with Uvextreme anti-fog coating, ensuring consistent visibility in humid conditions, and meets ANSI Z87.1+ and CSA Z94.3 standards for high-velocity impact protection.

FAQ

No, Shade 5 is not dark enough for electric arc welding processes. You need a welding helmet with a much darker shade (typically 9-13) for arc welding to prevent arc eye and retinal damage.

The Genesis XC is designed with extra coverage and may fit over some smaller prescription frames, but it is not primarily an OTG (Over-The-Glass) model. Uvex offers a specific Rx insert for the Genesis XC series for prescription needs.

XC stands for 'X-tra Coverage'. This model provides up to 20% more lens area than the standard Genesis safety glasses for better peripheral and cheek protection.

Yes, the Uvex Genesis XC system allows for easy lens replacement, so you can switch out damaged lenses or change shades without buying a whole new frame.

Yes, they meet or exceed ANSI Z87.1+ standards for high impact and CSA Z94.3 standards.

The Uvextreme anti-fog coating is permanently bonded to the lens and is designed to last longer and perform better in humid environments than standard anti-fog coatings.

Shade 5 is generally acceptable for low-amperage plasma cutting (typically up to 40 amps), but always consult your safety officer or the plasma cutter manual for specific shade recommendations based on amperage.

The lens is made of polycarbonate, which provides excellent impact resistance and blocks 99.9% of harmful UV rays.
