Best Welding Safety Glasses

Titus Cup Type C Welding Goggles are industrial-quality safety glasses that fire on all cylinders. There's not much that these goggles cannot do. The nose bridge lets you adjust the length, which along with the elastic head strap secures that customized fit that will be hugging the head nice and tight yet not too tight. Meanwhile, the removable bezel will enable easy shade swapping, letting you quickly change the lenses. What's more, you can combine (stack) the lenses, achieving increased protection levels.

As much as we like these details though, what separates these goggles more than anything else is probably the side vents that you can pull out to promote air circulation and prevent sweat buildups. You'll especially need that since the supplied lenses are not fog-resistant, so you'll have to wipe them from time to time when you don't remove the side vents. The cleaning cloth that's also supplied with the package will let you do just that, quickly and easily wiping them clean without leaving smudges behind.

Last but not least, the included hard storage will easily accommodate the goggles and the lenses, so you'll be able to comfortably carry them with you. Taking that and the fact that these goggles look quite awesome into account, you can see why the product tops this list.

YESWELDER True Color Auto Darkening Welding Goggles look imposing enough to separate these goggles from most welding glasses even on the aesthetics basis. That being said, the product's appearance plays second fiddle to its utility.

What defines these goggles is the TrueColor™ tech, preserving the existing 1-1-1-2 optical clarity rating, improving visibility, and reducing eye strain. The technology is able to do that thanks to minimizing the lime green coloring in the view screen, making the view much less saturated.

Despite the googles' beefy and robust build, these things are pretty lightweight, measuring 7.1 ounces and basically eliminating neck strain. Of course, when compared to basic welding glasses, these goggles are still relatively heavy but that's understandable considering the build. What's also understandable is that these welding goggles provide much more panoramic view than most, so you'll be able to utilize peripheral vision. Plus, you'll be able to use these glasses with respirators, enabling easy connection with hard hats and allowing yourself to weld where access with standard welding helmets is limited.

Certified according to US ANSI Z87.1 / EN379 CE / CSA Z94.3, these goggles will be able to satisfy even the most seasoned welders.

Yarr Store Welding Goggles strike pretty boring but this is not the book you'd want to judge by its cover. Quite the opposite, these pro glasses pack enough punch to trade blows with much more expensive welding glasses.

Made from high-strength PC and ABS plastic, the goggles are tough and durable. More than that, there are these rubber inserts that make the tough goggles comfy and snug, so you'll be able to use them without experiencing any discomfort around the temple and nose bridge areas. Also contributing on the comfort front are the adjustable sidepieces that make the glasses' fit universal. These 'pieces get pretty loose with time though, so we would not recommend excessively fiddling with them.

Switching gears, the automatic variable light lenses make the glasses especially convenient since you won't have to adjust them manually. We've seen these mechanisms before though. What we haven't seen much are these solar pads above the bridge that come equipped with solar cells, automatically recharging the battery and making sure that the goggles do not stop working when they're needed the most.

In short, Yarr Store Welding Goggles provide anti-UV, anti-IR radiation, and anti-glare solutions, making them applicable to cutting, welding, gas welding, steel welding, and more.

Insight Safety Welding Glasses incorporate that sporty wrap-around design that makes them much more comfortable than most welding goggles. The nosepiece is rubberized, so the glasses' bridge won't be pushing onto the nose bridge. The sidepieces come equipped with rubberized inserts too, keeping the temples nice and comfortable.

Of course, the design has its flaws too, namely the fact that the lenses and the frame are susceptible to scratches, so you'll have to avoid contact with them. On the bright side, the wrap-around profile prevents UV rays from more than one angle, providing increased eye protection. Plus, the glasses cling to the face, meaning you do not have to worry about them falling off.

As you can probably tell, these are not the most versatile glasses since you're unable to replace the shades and will only be able to use the embedded #12 shade. That means that the lenses are really dark though, able to block ample UV and IR rays. Also, again, considering the sporty design, you can use them as regular sunglasses anywhere you go. You can rotate between the hard storage zippered case and travel pouch to carry these dark glasses and keep them protected during transportation when necessary.

Bolle Safety Shade 5.0 Welding Safety Glasses are the least expensive and the least impressive glasses on this list. That's not to knock them down though, these goggles are still plenty good. Sure, the #5 shade means these things do not block as much UV and IR rays, limiting the glasses' application range (excluding arc welding, for example). The goggles' design is much more well-thought-out than you'd expect though.

The lenses are scratch-resistant, so you won't have to be especially gentle with the gloves. The removable foam reinforcements will let you comfortably use the glasses in dusty environments. Plus, incorporating indirect ventilation, these reinforcements will make sure the lenses do not fog up even when the humidity levels are high where you're welding.

From the comfort perspective, the rubberized sidepieces will eliminate added tension onto the temples, while the adjustable elastic band will enable customized-enough fit. You can use the pouch that comes with the glasses to carry and transport them, but we'd recommend purchasing one separately as the supplied pouch is not especially durable.

Bottom line, Bolle Safety Shade 5.0 Welding Safety Glasses will be able to provide enough UV and IR protection to enable light welding jobs.
