GE PPE 08 Series Safety Glasses — ANSI Z87.1 / EN 166, Anti-Fog, Wrap-Around Half-Frame

The GE PPE 08 Series safety glasses are ANSI Z87.1 and EN 166 certified protective eyewear built for all-day wear in industrial, construction, manufacturing, and laboratory environments. The 100% polycarbonate, Optical Class 1 lens delivers the clearest, most distortion-free and panoramic view available in safety eyewear — critical for tasks requiring visual precision. The half-frame design with wrap-around polycarbonate side shields ensures full eye protection without sacrificing the open, lightweight feel preferred for extended shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between GE208CAF, GE308C, and GE308CAF? All three share the same frame design and lens specs. The difference is frame color and coating: GE208CAF has a black frame with anti-fog/anti-scratch coating; GE308C has a gray frame with anti-scratch coating only; GE308CAF has a gray frame with anti-fog/anti-scratch coating. Choose GE308C for dry, stable environments; choose GE208CAF or GE308CAF where fogging is a concern.
• Can these safety glasses be worn over prescription eyeglasses (OTG)? These are not designated Over-the-Glasses (OTG) frames. They feature a half-frame, adjustable temple, and adjustable nose pad design intended to fit directly on the face. Users who require vision correction should verify fit with their prescription glasses or consult with their safety manager about OTG-specific models.
• What industries and environments are these glasses approved for? ANSI Z87.1 certification qualifies these glasses for use in occupational and educational environments in the US, including construction, manufacturing, mining, utilities, and laboratory settings. EN 166 certification covers occupational use under European standards. Always verify with your site safety requirements.
• Are the lenses tinted or clear? All three SKUs feature clear lenses, making them suitable for indoor use and low-light or variable outdoor conditions where light transmission is important.
• How do the adjustable temples work? The temples can be set to 3 different angle positions, allowing the wearer to customize the fit to the shape of their head. The slim, slotted design keeps weight low and reduces pressure during extended wear.
