S3307HS - Uvex Genesis XC Shade 5 Cutting & Welding Safety Glasses with Anti-Fog Coating

Advanced Eye Protection for Thermal Applications

The Uvex Genesis XC Safety Glasses with Shade 5 Infra-Dura lens represent the pinnacle of protective eyewear for oxy-fuel welding and cutting applications. Designed to exceed the rigorous demands of industrial environments, the Genesis XC (Extra Coverage) builds upon the legendary comfort and protection of the original Genesis line, offering 20% more coverage. This extended wrap-around lens design serves a critical function in high-hazard zones, providing superior peripheral protection against flying debris, sparks, and spatter, while effectively shielding the eyes from harmful infrared (IR) radiation associated with gas welding, brazing, and cutting operations.

At the core of the S3307HS model is the Shade 5 Infra-Dura polycarbonate lens. Unlike standard clear safety glasses, this specialized lens is engineered to filter out specific wavelengths of light generated during thermal processes, preventing flash burns and reducing eye fatigue. The lens is treated with Uvex's proprietary Uvextreme anti-fog coating, a dual-action formula that combines hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. This ensures that the lenses remain clear even in hot, humid conditions or during strenuous physical activity, maintaining critical visibility for precision work.

Comfort and fit are paramount in promoting worker compliance. The Genesis XC features Multi-Material Technology (MMT) on the brow guard and nose piece. The soft, flexible nasal fingers adjust to nearly any nasal profile, reducing slippage and pressure points. Furthermore, the frame incorporates a ratcheting temple inclination system and adjustable temple lengths, allowing users to customize the fit to their specific facial geometry. This adjustability ensures the glasses sit securely and comfortably for extended periods, reducing the likelihood of workers removing their eyewear due to discomfort.

Compliance is non-negotiable in safety equipment. The Uvex Genesis XC meets and exceeds ANSI Z87.1+ and CSA Z94.3 standards for high-impact protection. The frame is also compatible with an optional prescription (Rx) lens insert, making it a versatile solution for a diverse workforce. By integrating advanced ballistic protection with specialized IR filtration, the Uvex Genesis XC Shade 5 glasses provide a comprehensive safety solution for MRO professionals and metalworkers.
