I'm watching dirty jobs tonight (locomotive builder), and the guy is wearing what he called "batman" safety glasses. It's the episode that he's doing work with a heavy duty plasma cutter.

The safety glasses have some foam that provides better sealing to his face so he doesn't get slag behind them like normal safety glasses.

Anybody ever seen these or know where to get them?

I have a pair my bro-in-law gave me for my b-day. IMO they suck. They are rigid plastic frames, and they always sit crooked on my face and can't be bent to be adjusted. So one side seems to seal and the other is just annoying. Before you say it, it is not my face, I wear all sorts of different types and brands of safety glasses, and have never had a pair that didn't sit right on my face.

The foam sealed ones also fog up after about 15 minutes in the cold weather...

Oh, btw, I am pretty sure he bought them at airgas.

Later,
Jason

They should have some at any tractor supply. I just saw a bunch there a few days ago.
