Three Models Offer a Range of Solutions for Workplace Eye Protection
SMITHFIELD, R.I. - Oct. 15, 2007 - Sperian Eye and Face Protection, the world leader in safety eyewear, today introduced the Genesis® Family of products, an expansion on the success of its best-selling Genesis® model. The Genesis Family platform is composed of the Genesis, the Genesis XCTM (formerly the XC®) and the newly-launched Genesis X2TM - workplace eyewear solutions designed to fill the needs of a wide range of workers and environments.
"The Genesis is our most popular model, so it only made sense to take our customers' favorite Genesis features and carry them into a broader array of products," said Ariel Rodriguez, product manager, Uvex Products. "With three coverage options, the Genesis Family provides ideal solutions for a variety of applications and workplace environments."
The products in the Genesis Family include:
Genesis: full coverage and protection for most applications (passes ANSI Z87+, CSA Z94.3 and Mil V0 ballistic test for impact - protection against impact energies seven times higher than ANSI) Genesis X2: slimmer, lighter lens provides standard coverage ideal for a wide array of industries and applications (passes ANSI Z87+ and Mil V0 ballistic test for impact) Genesis XC: 20 percent additional cheek and side coverage provides extended protection in high-particulate and splash environments not requiring goggles (passes ANSI Z87+, CSA Z94.3 and Mil V0 ballistic test for impact)
The Genesis Family of safety eyewear offers premium comfort features, including MMT - Multi-Material Technology® that cushions all points of contact, and ratcheting and lengthening temples that allow for a customized fit. Military-level ballistic impact protection and Uvex Spectrum Control Technology lens tints add heightened protection and functionality for use in even the most demanding applications. All three models are available with proprietary lens coatings options, including Ultra-dura® anti-scratch, Uvextreme® anti-fog and a newly available option, Dura-streme(TM) technology. Dura-streme delivers Ultra-dura anti-scratch on the outside of the lens and Uvextreme on the inside, resulting in an anti-fog lens that can last up to 3 times* longer. The Genesis Family also offers an easy, economical lens replacement system and a lifetime frame guarantee, which makes it the logical choice for a long-term safety eyewear solution.
