## Description

Gateway Safety 6983 Cover2 Safety Glasses, Gray Lens, Black Temple

Review: Facefuls of concrete and brick were no match for these - I wore these constantly over the summer while doing yard work and clean up. My most memorable time is wearing these over the course of these days of power washing my brick deck and walkways. Attached picture is courtesy of my wife, you can see the glasses fit well. You can also see the amount of gunk on the Tyvek suit. For those of you that don't know, cleaning brick with a power washer is not hard, it's just boring and really messy. If you hit the cracks head on, you may break the seal or if you hit a crack where the concrete has already deteriorated, you will send stuff flying up at your face. your head will be mostly pointed down intently watching the grime being washed away, so every time this happens, you will get a faceful of junk and loose particles of concrete and brick. These things saved my eyes multiple times. They stayed clear and did not fog up like goggles tend to, although not as airtight, the ridges surrounding give more than adequate protection. They stayed in my face while I constantly had my face tilted down. They fold for easy storage on the tray on top of my toolbox reminding me to think about whether or not I should put these on every time I grab a tool. BTW for those of you who are wondering, you can easily full the cracks/dramas back in with pavers sand to have the brick looking brand new.
Review: Large, very clear and comfortable. Extended durability to be determined. - Not much to say, except they are light, comfortable, very clear, cover over my regular glasses with no problem, and at just under $5, a bargain. I use them when chain-sawing, using a weed eater or mower, etc. and I often forget I have them on. I have several pair of safety glasses, but some have worn out or gotten foggy over time. These are as clear and comfortable as any I have had, and better than most. The earpieces hinge (click up or down) where they connect to the clear plastic, and they extend (telescope out or in). Both features allow for a more perfect fit, and stay in place once set. I found this a good feature - but I have only used these a few times so far, so I do wonder if after continued use, the light plastic might become worn and loose. However, at this price, it would still be a good bargain if they only last 6 months. Like every pair I have ever worn, if you work in hot humid weather (I live in central Texas) they will eventually fog from moisture, but less so than some others as they do not seal to the face.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will these effectively block blue light from computers/tabs so that melatonin production isn't disturbed?**
A: I believe you are asking what wavelengths of light does this reflect.
According to the Chronobiol Int. 2001 paper 470, 495 and 525 nm light can disrupt melatonin production. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11763987

So the question is, what is the absorption spectrum for these glasses? I don't have a spectrophotometer handy but the manufacturer/ retailer might.
Cheers

**Q: Can these glasses be sterile wiped?**
A: These glasses are made of sturdy clear plastic. I sure they can be sterile wiped. They are easily cleaned with soap and water.

**Q: Can these be used with or without other glasses?**
A: They fit over most prescription glasses. So yes, you should be able to use them with other glasses.

**Q: Are the glasses embossed with the mark "ansi z87+" (high impact) or just "ansi z87" (basic impact)? is it marked z87 at all?**
A: Mine are embossed with z87+. Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good protection for wearers of regular glasses, scratch easily
*by S***N on January 13, 2026*

I own several pairs of these and they've saved my eyes more than once. They're large enough to fit over regular prescription glasses without pressing onto them, but not large enough to be uncomfortable. The only issue I've noticed is that they do scratch/scuff fairly easily, so I can't just throw them into a tool box and I need to keep them in a soft pouch instead. I would probably pay extra for a different version with a hardened outer surface, but... right now at least they're affordable enough that I simply treat them as a consumable item and just replace scratched pair every few months.
