Designed for professionals who demand durability and comfort, these lightweight glasses offer a sport-inspired wraparound fit with permanent anti-scratch lenses and enhanced peripheral vision, making them ideal for diverse work environments. ## Description Uvex Hypershock Safety Glasses are available with multiple lens tints to suit almost any work environment. Uvex stands for "Ultra Violet Excluded", which means our safety glasses employ specifically formulated resins that filter 99.9% of the UV radiation in accordance to the U6 scale of the Z87 standard. Uvex has also developed Spectrum Control Technology (SCT), which incorporates unique dyes designed to absorb select wavelengths of radiant energy (light). Our anti-glare glasses, tinted safety glasses and safety sunglasses are designed to manipulate light to reduce a spectral hazard, or to provide distinctive filtration for specific safety eyewear viewing tasks. Examples include filtering solar radiation to reduce glare, and blocking radiation from welding to protect workers around these operations. Multiple anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings are also available. The new HydroShield technology provides our best anti-fog lens coating, keeping your vision clear up to 90X longer than most other competitive anti-fog safety glasses. Models with the Uvextreme Plus anti-fog coating offer superior fog-free vision that lasts up to 10X longer than most other anti-fog coatings. Both anti-fog coatings provide 2X greater scratch resistance than most competitive anti-fog glasses. Our scratch-resistant safety glasses feature a durable hardcoat for long-lasting resistance to scuffing and scratching. Photochromic lenses offer seamless shade transitioning when moving from indoor work environments to mid-light and outdoor work areas. The full-frame design makes for strong impact-resistant glasses in accordance with ANSI Z87.1-2015 impact standards. The sport-inspired wraparound styling provides excellent side protection and peripheral vision. A molded nose piece and padded temples with molded inserts ensure your protective eyewear delivers longwearing comfort. Review: Mostly better than Oakley Detcords, very good safety glasses, but not "military-grade" - 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. What awaits to be seen is the durability of the blue mirror lens coating. I plan to use the SCT-50 for shop use, but if they are too dark I will have to go to clear. I've read negative reviews of the Blue Mirror and SCT-50 on the Genesis, where operators experienced flaking of the coating after minor usage. Using these for over a week in the summer outdoors, the lenses aren't as dark as Oakley's Black Iridium Polarized, so if you're driving or facing the sun, these still allow for a lot of glare in that scenario. For normal situations outdoors, they are good. The Hypershocks don't ventilate very well, so it always feels sweaty/hot behind the Hypershocks. The gray smoke lens has a visible light transmission of about 11% according to my own testing. The blue mirror lens is 14.5%. 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. Review: Good glasses - I've had these saftey sunglasses for several months now and I have to admit these are my to go to pair and one of the best glasses I have purchased to date. I have literally spent a few hundred dollars trying new brands and styles all the time and for the price you cannot beat these. Pros: minimal scratches, light weight and just the right amount of tint for outdoor use (maybe a little on the darker side) Cons: Light weight (I forget I'm wearing them sometimes, tent to fog up easily and somewhat flimsy (they actually "broke" one but I was able to snap the piece back in and continue to wear them/ still functional as pictured) Update: They doubled their prices from around $6 to $12... yikes what an eye gouge! No thanks... they were a good value but I'd rather go with Skullers at that price!!! ## Features - Plastic - LENS TINTS FOR ANY TASK: Uvex lens tint applications include sun & glare reduction, fluorescent/halogen/sodium lamp low light areas, indoor/outdoor transition, welding and traffic signal recognition - PERMANENT LENS COATINGS: Uvex lens coatings deliver long-lasting anti-fog & anti-scratch performance; permanent bonding to the lens prevents wash/wear off even after extended use or repeated cleanings - SAFETY: Full frame is lightweight but offers high-impact protection that meets ANSI Z87.1-2015 standards for safety glasses; wraparound design provides increased side protection and peripheral vision - STYLE & PERFORMANCE: Safety eyewear combines performance-driven technology with aggressive, sport-inspired styling; the sleek side profile allows ample room for hard hats or other head gear - LONGWEARING COMFORT: Protective eyewear features a molded nose piece & sleek temples with soft, molded inserts for longwearing comfort; Integrated hinge mechanism with dual cam action for secure fit ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B016IHEYDW | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #119,976 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #509 in Safety Glasses | | Color | Black Frame | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (720) | | Date First Available | October 9, 2015 | | Finish | uv-protection | | Included Components | safety glasses | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 0.79 ounces | | Item model number | S2945 | | Manufacturer | Honeywell Safety Products, USA | | Material | Anti-Scratch Hardcoat | | Part Number | S2945 | | Product Dimensions | 5.16 x 2 x 2 inches | | Size | One Size | | Special Features | Lightweight | | Style | Protection,safety | | Thickness | 11 Inches | | UV Protection | true | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Honeywell - **Color:** Black Frame - **Frame Material:** Alloy Steel - **Frame Type:** Full Rim - **Material:** Anti-Scratch Hardcoat ## Images ![Uvex by Honeywell Hypershock Safety Glasses, Black Frame with Blue Mirror Lens & Anti-Scratch Hardcoat (S2945) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Y8fmE5huL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mostly better than Oakley Detcords, very good safety glasses, but not "military-grade" *by C***O on July 1, 2018* I accidentally came across these after looking for replacement lenses for my Uvex Genesis.
