Klein Tools Standard Safety Glasses, Gray Lens

The Klein 60160 gray lens safety glasses are impact tested to ANSI Z87.1+ (2015), CSA Z94.3 (2015), and MIL-PRF-32432A Clause 3.8.4.1 (Class 1 ballistics fragmentation). The plus mark on Z87.1+ is the high impact designation, which is what most general construction site PPE policies call for. If your safety program specifies Canadian eye protection, the CSA Z94.3 listing covers that too.

Gray is the outdoor tint. The 60160 uses a shaded polycarbonate lens that cuts glare while keeping true color recognition, so you can still tell conductor colors apart under it, and it blocks 99.9% of UV to the ANSI Z87.1 U6 level. For indoor panel work, crawl spaces, or night service calls, gray will be too dark and you want a clear lens instead.

No. The 60160 has no accidental arc protection and no IR absorption, so it is impact and UV eyewear only. For arc flash work you need eye and face protection rated for the incident energy of the task, worn per your electrical safety program, not standard safety glasses.

The anti-fog coating on the Klein 60160 is applied to last rather than wash off, and Klein states it works even when a dust mask is worn, which is the usual failure point for cheaper eyewear. The lens is also treated for scratch resistance for jobsite handling.

Overall they measure 6.5 in (16.5 cm) long, 5.8 in (14.7 cm) wide, and 1.8 in (4.5 cm) high, with a low profile narrow lens and wrap around frame. It is a compact frame rather than an oversized one. The nylon semi-frame is flexible and the rubber nose piece and temple tips grip, so the fit adapts across a crew.

Neither is included. Klein sells a breakaway lanyard as Cat. No. 60177 and a hard case as Cat. No. 60176, both ordered separately. If you are buying these for a crew or a tool crib, add the cases at the same time, since a loose pair in a tool bag is how the lens gets scratched.

The rated service range for the 60160 is -16 to 123 degrees F (-26 to 50 degrees C), which covers most van and gang box conditions. Weight is 1.2 oz (36 g), so they carry easily and are light enough for all day wear.

Polycarbonate, which is the standard impact lens material for construction eyewear, with a scratch resistant treatment on top. It carries the ANSI Z87.1+ high impact mark plus the MIL-PRF-32432A Class 1 ballistics fragmentation test, so it is aimed at grinding, drilling, and overhead work rather than light duty tasks.

Black with orange accents, in a nylon semi-frame with a gray lens. The model number to reorder against is 60160. If you need the same frame in a different tint for indoor work, spec it by lens color when you order.
