Safety goggles are designed to provide a shield around the entire eye area to protect against hazards from many directions. They offer higher impact protection, greater dust, chemical splash, and welding light protection.
Safety goggles for splash or fine dust protection should have indirect venting. Use direct vented goggles for less fogging when working with large particles. Those designed after ski type goggles with high air flow minimize fogging while providing better particle and splash protection. No matter what you need to protect your eyes from, Cole-Parmer has the safety goggles to help.
