Key Features
Overview
The Klein Tools Blade Safety Glasses, Shaded Gray Lens (03001) is wrap-around safety eyewear with a shaded gray lens for bright conditions. This is tinted safety glasses designed for general construction and outdoor jobsite work. The gray lens transmits 14.68% of visible light and keeps true color recognition, so wire colors and markings still read correctly in the sun.
Protection goes past the usual jobsite rating. Klein tested these glasses to ANSI Z87.1+ (2020) high impact and to MIL-PRF 32432A Clause 3.8.4.1, a military ballistic fragmentation standard (Class 1). The lens blocks 99.9% of harmful UV rays to reduce eye strain over a long day.
The blade design uses a wide lens that extends coverage around the sides of the eyes, mounted in a sleek, low-profile nylon semi-frame in black and gray. Low profile matters if you wear a hard hat, earmuffs or a respirator; there is less frame to fight with.
The polycarbonate lens has anti-fog and scratch-resistant coatings. A rubberized nose piece provides a non-slip fit, and at 1.5 oz (43 g) the glasses are light enough that you forget they are on. Klein rates them for -16°F to 123°F (-26°C to 50°C). A soft micro-fiber bag is included for storage.
These are general-purpose impact eyewear. They are not rated for accidental arc protection or IR absorption, so they are not a substitute for arc-rated or welding eye protection.

Pro Tip
Keep a clear pair in the truck alongside these. Going from a sunny driveway into a dark crawlspace with a shaded lens is how people miss the thing they went in there to look at.
