It’s time for another Cool Tools review, this week we’re taking a look at what I think are the best, low-cost safety glasses out there. These are the 3M Virtua CCS. I got them on Amazon for around $7. And by using the link in the description to pick some up, you help support my videos and the Cool Tools blog.

Because safety glasses inevitably get scratched up, I’m always looking for a newer better pair. And for me, “better” means better comfort.

Because when you’re wearing safety glasses for a long stretch they tend to dig in, or pinch your temples, or fog up.

These ones from 3M feel like they should win some kind of industrial design award. They’re ultra lightweight and conform to my head perfectly without any pressure or discomfort.

The big trick with these is that they have this lightweight molded foam gasket that prevents dust from getting in, and also cushions the nose piece. So the only place you really feel plastic touching your head is about an inch behind your ears, but it’s a light touch.

Ridges in the foam allow these to breathe just enough to prevent fogging. There’s also an anti-fog coating on the inside. But if it’s a hot day and these start to fog, you do have the option of removing the gasket completely to get better circulation. It’s also nice because you probably want to wash this gasket out from time to time.

One great feature of these that I’m not taking advantage of is that they are designed for corded earplugs snap into the sides so that you can protect your eyes and ears in one shot.

I like these so much that I’ve ordered some compatible earplugs and included a link. But even without them, for $7 these are an awesome upgrade for your old scratchy safety glasses. They feel great, they provide 99% UV protection if you’re working outside, and I think they look pretty decent too.

You can find the link for these in the video description and you can see thousands of reader recommended tools like these at Cool-Tools.org
