Honeywell Uvex Hypershock Safety Glasses, Black Frame with Gray Lens & Uvextreme Plus Anti-Fog Coating

El producto es malo, se ve borroso , la verdad los primeros días muy bien , pero al poco tiempo se ve muy borroso

Awesome glasses. Very comfortable

I accidentally came across these after looking for replacement lenses for my Uvex Genesis. The Genesis are on the APEL list (Army Protective Eyewear List) while these Hypershocks are not. The eyewear on the APEL list (except for the Oakley M Frames) are generally heavy, bulky, insanely overpriced for what they are (Wiley X), or have lenses that are so thick that they distort the image slightly. However, the APEL list requires the qualified products to meet/exceed MIL-PRF-32432. I read this spec, and it includes the old impact protection MIL-PRF-31013 standard where they fire a simulated fragmentation pellet at about 560 ft/s. The kinetic energy of this pellet is about 16 joules. Z87.1-2010 and 2015 split the Z87 rating into non-impact/low-impact marked as "Z87", and the high-speed impact as "Z87+" but the kinetic energy from the Z87 0.25" pellet at 150 ft/s is roughly 1 joule. I found a few Youtube videos testing to the MIL-PRF-32432 impact test on gas station glasses, Z87+ rated sunglasses, and the military rated safety wear. The pellet punched right through the cheap glasses, shattered the lens and frame of the Z87+ rated glasses, and just made a small indent in the lens of the military eyewear (although I did see some spalling behind the lens which can be painful).Why did I post all of that above? The Hypershock is only Z87+ rated, so it can handle non-military use. UVEX advertises these as shooting glasses, and in a perfect world I'd agree. But sometimes stuff happens, and any fragments/shrapnel could exceed the kinetic energy of the Z87+ rating. The military chose their impact testing for a reason and it isn't a new spec as this impact testing clause for class 1 (safety glasses/sunglasses) has been around for a minimum of 22+ years. UVEX only makes 2 other military-grade eyewear, the Genesis and the XMF (actual military goggles). The old Genesis seems to have been superseded by the new Genesis XC. But the Genesis lenses are thick, very thick, just like the ESS Eyepro Crossbow and Oakley M Frames.The Hypershocks are by far the best safety glasses I have ever used. I loved my Genesis that I bought in 2007, but they are quite heavy at 33 grams and hurt my nose bridge after a few hours in the shop or while working on my car. From my experience, anything over 25 grams is "heavy" but I can work with 30 grams which is what the Hypershocks weigh. Oakley Detcords are 37 grams, and have less peripheral vision than these Hypershocks.The Hypershocks have great peripheral view - more so than the Oakley Detcords (which are their industrial ANSI Z87.1 compliant glasses although further digging shows they are supposed to meet MIL-PRF-32432). The ear stems are comfortable, and the lenses are very high quality. There's no distortion and the blue mirror provides great contrast along with sun/glare protection. I am really surprised at the quality of these Hypershocks at this price point. I'd say they are comparable or better than the Oakley Gas Can / Fuel Cell / Detcords at a fraction of the price. I am not one of those people that skimp out on eyewear. I pretty much have every Oakley frame there is, and routinely use them as part of my job as I get a good discount on them. I used to use M Frames a lot until the lenses cost too much when they'd get scratched during aggressive activities. Then I switched to ESS, and had one of their APEL gray lenses fog up permanently without any warranty replacement. I went back to my old 2007 Uvex Genesis as they are much cheaper to replace and work fine. I picked up an APEL Unit Issue Genesis kit with the gray lens, and like them, but these Hypershocks work well in all kinds of environments and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. The full frame design does kind of get in the way but it isn't that bad and is "sleeker" than the Genesis/M-Frames.The gray smoke lens has a visible light transmission of about 11% according to my own testing. The blue mirror lens is 14.5%.For normal situations outdoors, they are good. The Hypershocks don't ventilate very well, so it always feels sweaty/hot behind the Hypershocks.I wore these outside at a picnic and someone snapped a picture of me. I saw how these Hypershocks really hugged my face, and looked as if they were custom fit. The Oakley Det Cords always felt like huge goggles that were attached to my face.Also for some reason, the Hypershocks have a very hollow sound when you plop them on a table. None of my Oakleys do this. It must be the material that Uvex used for the frame.

I was looking at a sunglasses type of safety glass becsuse the current job I'm on, is direct sun exposure, and I'm cutting steel, brick, mortar, and have all kinds of nonsense wanting to go in go in eyes. These fit my face great, and sit close to my eyes so nothing can ninja sneak into my peripheral to possibly blind me. These are a little tight on my enormous alien shaped head, so if I put them up on my head, they leave me with a headache pretty fast, and a crazy invention where the frames were compressing my skull. That's more of a me problem. Because none of my guys have this issue.From what I read, these are specd to take bullet frag and keep going. So if the Army will approve them. They are good imo.

They fit really nice.
