Dewalt DPG82-11C Concealer Clear Anti-Fog Dual Mold Safety Goggle

Customer Reviews & Comments
These goggles provide good side protection and great frontal protection against flying debris when using power tools. They are easy-to-adjust and comfortable, which is important because people don't use goggles that don't fit well. As to the anti-fogging properties... NO goggles are truly fog-free unless they are expensive forced-air face-shields used in a temperature-controlled environment. As many other users have noted, these will fog up at times. There is a solution! You can make ANY pare of goggles virtually "fog free" (under most conditions) by marking them with plain bar-soap. Simply make a few swipes on the inside of the goggles with a plain white soap bar, then wipe the marks around until the goggles are clear and clean. Cotton cloth works best. Paper towels are OK, but they will eventually scratch the lens. Use light pressure. You do not need water or spit. Special details about this method... Do not use old-fashioned hand soap that was made with Lye... it burns your eyes! Do not use fancy expensive soap that has scents or colors... many (including myself) find the colored soap makes rainbows of prismatic streaks, and that the scented stuff ruins your taste-buds when lunch time rolls around. Just use PLAIN WHITE SOAP bars... Johnson's baby soap, Ivory or cheap generic stuff from any American soap maker... Avoid the foreign stuff! Other countries have lower sanitation standards, especially for products that are not meant to be used internally. There is no way to break the laws of physics. If you work in very hot or cold conditions, there will be a differential in temperature between the inside and outside of your goggles or glasses. The soap film will help prevent condensation (fog) from forming under most conditions, but it won't work permanently in 90-degree sunshine or freezing temperatures. If for some reason you are required to work under those extreme conditions, you just have to remove the goggles and equalize inside-to-outside temperatures more often. One last tip... if you are working outside in hot-climates, keep the goggles outside. If you have to move between air-conditioned and non-conditioned spaces... have two pairs of specs, one for each area. The sudden change between temperatures causes condensation to form. Otherwise, It is the differential between the inside temperature and outside temperature of the lens that cause condensation. How and why... Soap film helps prevent condensation by filling microscopic cavities on the surface of plastic lenses. Those cavities are invisible, but they are the nucleation-sites where condensation starts. Once it starts, it will spread exponentially because even a few molecules of water is enough to cool neighboring molecules of moisture-laden air, such as that near your face. I got these goggles for free during an in-store promotion. For most indoor woodworking applications, I prefer the wrap-around but open-air style of safety goggles. They protect against flying debris, yet allow air flow in front and behind the lens, so moisture is less likely to condense. In cold temperatures, foam-sealed rims like these work better and fog less. They also protect your eyes from drying in the cold-dry winter air.
