Tinted Safety Glasses  

IR Shade C3.0  
Meets: ANSI Z87.1-1989 and CSA Z94.3-1992 
Polycarbonate lens protect > 99.9% harmful UV rays.
Adjustable duoflex® temple length and lens inclination
Classic dual lens look in a single lens design.  Black frame.

Optimal coverage on sides, top, and bottom provides unique, close-to-the-face protection against harmful elements from UV rays to flying particles, delivering superior vision protection.  Lens and temple length adjustments ensure an excellent fit for nearly everyone. Additionally, the patented duoflex® cushions and lightweight frame deliver extra comfort by reducing slippage and pressure behind the ears.  Made in the U.S.A.

These are the glasses recommended by Orton Ceramics, the firing experts.  You can get darker, welding glasses with more protection, but then it is very hard to see the cones.  These are deemed to be the best compromise between visibility and protection.
