## Overview

The X2 Guardian OTG Safety Glasses by VetroSafe combine advanced 95% infrared blocking, UV420 blue-light filtering, and ANSI Z87+ impact-rated protection in a sleek, over-the-glasses design. Engineered for professional flameworking, lampworking, and glassblowing, these glasses ensure true color accuracy and superior eye safety, making them an essential upgrade for serious glass artists who refuse to compromise on comfort or protection.

## Description

A more effective and safer alternative to traditional didymium and polycarbonate SF lenses, VetroSafe eyewear for glassworking is designed from the ground up with a multi-use lens that incorporates OD5+ sodium-flare protection, 95% average infrared blocking and UV420 blue-light filtering with an impact rated lens and frame. The glasses are suitable for hard and soft glass flameworking, lampworking in addition to hot-glass work exceeding ANSI Welding Shade #3. The X2 Guardian OTG is an impact-rated rectangular frame capable of being worn over prescription glasses or by itself. For over-the-glasses (OTG) use, the maximum compatible frame size is 135mm width by 45mm height and anti-reflection coated lenses are recommended.

Review: I bought these glasses because I was bothered by the side flashes coming around my Philips 202 visor lenses, the ones I use for most of my smaller COE 104 glass projects. I paid full desertcart price for them and this is not a paid review. These glasses are roughly similar to my WaleWear "Lampworker Combo" glasses with the WaleWear flip up lenses in the down position. However the WaleWear design is for the main glasses to be just a little darker than 202 didymium with attached flip up W3 lenses but the VetroSafe is a main lens which is W3 and no flip up. This leaves open the possibility of adding a W5 flip up to the Vetrosafe glasses later, if I can ever find one for sale. (I will leave it to the reader to make their own comparisons of advertised spectral specifications from the Wale Apparatus site.) On the Vetrosafe website the maximum size glasses these safety glasses reportedly will fit over is 135mm x 45 mm. Which irritates me a bit since my favorite computer glasses are 138 mm wide! That having been said these are comfortable and fit over my spare glasses, which are 132 mm wide. Still, reviews are subjective so size is where the four instead of five star rating comes from. Referring to the Guide to Safety Ratings for Lampworking Glasses on their website and to the desertcart information listed on their product page the seller reports they are in compliance with ANSI Z87.1-2020 W3.0 standards. As their website explains, that means a transmission rate of 15% of visible light, The website also reports 95% IR filtering (R4) and 99.9999% UV filtering (U6). They do indeed block the yellow sodium flash as well if not better than my Phillips 202 visor, but I'm not sure how to quantify that, especially since light tends to reflect around the edges of the visor, but not the edges of these glasses. I really can't tell about blue since my blue glass rods appear to be easily identifiable when looking through these glasses. The torch flame appears about the same, maybe a bit less intense blue but I can't tell one way or another, since the hot beads tend to make the color of the flame dim by comparison. I also appreciate the storage case included with the glasses, which means I can store my spare computer glasses with them in my glass shop.
