Uvex Inspires Safety with New Uvex SolarPro(TM) Protective Eyewear
Wrap-around design and lens tint options are ideal for protecting workers outdoors
SMITHFIELD, R.I. - Sperian Protection, the world leader in personal protective equipment (PPE), today announced that its flagship brand, Uvex®, has launched Uvex SolarPro(TM) safety eyewear. The style's sport-inspired wrap-around design and variety of lens tint options provide excellent peripheral vision and comfort in environments where workers' protection from the sun is crucial to performance. Uvex SolarPro is ideally suited for construction, utility line work, landscaping, oil and gas industries and other outdoor applications. Like all Uvex lenses, the new style provides 99.9 percent ultra-violet protection.
Available in eight lens tints including mirrored, polarized and photochromic, Uvex SolarPro reduces solar glare and eye fatigue, which helps keep workers safer because they wear their protective eyewear longer. The style's 100 percent dielectric design makes it safe for work in electrical environments.
Uvex SolarPro features Uvex's new Supra-Dura® anti-scratch coating that provides five times more scratch resistance than other coatings on the market, Uvextreme® anti-fog coating and Dura-streme® dual anti-fog/anti-scratch coating options. Its soft, padded temples and nosepiece deliver a comfortable, non-slip fit, and four-position ratcheting temples make it easy to adjust the lens angle for a close fit. The eyewear meets the ANSI Z87.1 safety standard and comes with a lifetime frame guarantee.
"We developed Uvex SolarPro based on extensive research among safety managers throughout the Americas, who cited product selection as a top challenge for protecting workers' eyes given today's overwhelming number of product choices," said David Iannelli, senior product manager for Uvex. "Because Uvex SolarPro is specially designed to excel in outdoor, bright-light and varying light conditions, it has never been easier to choose the best-suited safety eyewear for the job."
Uvex SolarPro is one of four new styles introduced in the Uvex Specifix(TM) Collection, which also includes Uvex VersaPro(TM), Uvex PrecisionPro(TM) and Uvex ExtremePro(TM) protective eyewear. Each style is designed to meet the unique needs of workers in the specific industries they serve. The Specifix Collection embodies an unparalleled commitment to product innovation and a workplace culture of safety.
