The Howard Leight R02215 Uvex Acadia safety glasses deliver professional-grade eye protection with amber lenses engineered for enhanced contrast and visual clarity. These tactical eyewear solutions combine advanced anti-fog technology with impact-resistant construction for reliable performance across demanding environments.
What Makes This Different
The Uvex Acadia stands apart from standard safety glasses through its specialized amber lens coating that increases contrast by up to 15% while filtering harmful blue light. The proprietary anti-fog treatment maintains clear vision in temperature variations from -10°F to 120°F, outperforming basic coated lenses that fog within minutes of environmental changes. The wraparound design provides 180-degree peripheral protection without the optical distortion common in curved safety lenses.
Key Features
- Amber polycarbonate lenses with 99.9% UV protection and enhanced contrast filtering
- Advanced anti-fog coating rated for 8+ hours of continuous clarity
- Impact-resistant construction meets ANSI Z87.1+ and CSA Z94.3 safety standards
- Lightweight black nylon frame weighs only 1.1 ounces for extended wear comfort
- Wraparound design with 8-base curve provides maximum peripheral coverage
- Adjustable temple length accommodates various head sizes and hearing protection
- Scratch-resistant hard coating extends lens life in abrasive environments
Field testing demonstrates consistent fog-free performance during rapid temperature transitions and high-humidity conditions. The amber tint proves particularly effective for dawn and dusk shooting, indoor ranges with mixed lighting, and overcast outdoor conditions where contrast enhancement improves target definition. Law enforcement and competitive shooters report improved visual acuity during extended training sessions without eye fatigue.
