K2972-1 - Lincoln Electric I-Beam Red Outdoor Safety Glasses, Silver Mirror Lens

Technical Specification and Compliance Overview

The Lincoln Electric K2972-1 I-Beam™ Red Safety Glasses are engineered to provide superior ocular protection in industrial environments, specifically tailored for outdoor applications where sunlight and glare are prevalent factors. These safety spectacles feature a high-performance Silver Mirror lens that effectively mitigates glare while maintaining optical clarity, making them an essential component of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for construction, field erection, and general fabrication sectors. The lens technology is formulated to block 99.9% of UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C radiation, safeguarding the user's vision against long-term solar damage.

Structurally, the K2972-1 utilizes Lincoln's proprietary I-Beam™ frame architecture. This design employs a four-sided construction profile that maximizes strength-to-weight ratios, resulting in a robust frame that weighs approximately one ounce. Despite its lightweight nature, the frame provides durable impact protection that meets or exceeds rigorous industry standards. Specifically, these glasses are certified to meet ANSI Z87+ (American National Standards Institute) and CSA Z94.3 (Canadian Standards Association) requirements for high-velocity impact resistance, ensuring reliability in hazardous work zones.

Ergonomics play a critical role in the design of the K2972-1. The unit incorporates a wraparound frame style that offers extended peripheral coverage, reducing the risk of lateral debris intrusion. To enhance user comfort during prolonged usage periods, the glasses are equipped with flexible temple tips that conform to the wearer's head shape, alleviating pressure points behind the ears. Additionally, a soft, flexible nosepiece provides a secure, non-slip fit, ensuring the eyewear remains positioned correctly even during active work tasks. The dual-tone red and black frame provides high visibility and aesthetic distinction on the job site.
