Vaultex V701 Safety Spectacles – Clear and Dark Anti-Scratch Lenses

The Vaultex V701 safety spectacles are lightweight protective glasses available with either a clear lens or a dark smoke lens. Both options use an impact-resistant polycarbonate lens with an anti-scratch coating and 99% ultraviolet protection.

Designed for general workplace eye protection, the spectacles feature a frameless construction, integrated nose bridge, soft spatula-type temple arms and a highly flexible single-lens design. The V701 is suitable for construction, engineering, manufacturing, maintenance, warehousing and other industrial environments where comfortable protective eyewear is required.

The Vaultex V701 safety spectacles are listed as meeting EN166F and ANSI Z87.1 protective-eyewear requirements and are manufactured in India.

Choose Between Clear and Dark V701 Safety Spectacles

Both lens options retain the same lightweight frameless construction, impact-resistant polycarbonate material, anti-scratch coating and flexible single-lens design. The main difference is the lens tint and temple colour.

Clear Lens with Blue Temple Arms

The clear version of the Vaultex V701 safety spectacles is suitable for indoor workplaces and environments where unrestricted visibility and natural colour recognition are important.

Its transparent lens allows the wearer to see tools, machinery, materials and surrounding work areas clearly. The clear version has blue, soft, flat spatula-type temple arms.

It is suitable for:

• Indoor construction and renovation
• Engineering workshops
• Manufacturing and assembly
• Warehouses and logistics centres
• Mechanical servicing
• Carpentry and woodworking
• Property maintenance
• General workplace inspections

Although the lens is clear, it still provides the specified UV protection. The clear V701 is therefore suitable for general indoor work and occasional outdoor tasks where a dark tint is unnecessary. The blue temple arms and clear polycarbonate lens are specifically listed for this version.

Dark Lens with Black Temple Arms

The dark version of the Vaultex V701 safety spectacles features a smoke-tinted polycarbonate lens and black, soft spatula-type temple arms.

This option is suitable for outdoor work, open construction sites and brightly lit environments where a tinted lens can help reduce discomfort from strong daylight and glare.

Recommended applications include:

• Outdoor construction sites
• Road maintenance and inspection
• Landscaping and agricultural work
• Outdoor loading areas
• Open-air engineering work
• Property and facility inspection
• Bright manufacturing environments
• General outdoor maintenance

The dark lens is not a welding filter. It must not be used for arc welding, gas welding, flame cutting or any activity requiring a certified filter shade. The clear version is listed with blue temples, while the dark version uses black soft flat spatula-type temples.

Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Lens

The Vaultex V701 safety spectacles use an impact-resistant polycarbonate lens. Polycarbonate combines low weight with practical impact resistance, making it suitable for routine industrial and workplace eye protection.

The highly flexible single-lens construction provides a broad, unobstructed viewing area without the bulk of a thick surrounding frame. Its curved profile also extends coverage towards the sides of the eyes.

These spectacles are suitable for general protection against light-impact particles and workplace debris. The correct eyewear should always be selected according to the hazards identified in the working environment.

Anti-Scratch Lens Coating

Both clear and dark Vaultex V701 safety spectacles have an anti-scratch coating. This coating helps reduce minor surface marks caused by ordinary handling, cleaning and regular workplace use.

Anti-scratch does not mean scratch-proof. The lens can still be damaged by rough fabric, dirty gloves, abrasive paper, sharp objects and unsuitable cleaning chemicals.

The confirmed specification identifies the coating as anti-scratch. Anti-fog performance is not included in the primary V701 technical specification and should not be claimed unless it is clearly marked on the supplied product or packaging.

99% UV Protection

The polycarbonate lens provides 99% UV protection in both the clear and dark options.

The clear lens provides UV protection without reducing ordinary visible light, while the dark smoke lens is better suited to bright outdoor working environments.

UV protection does not make the spectacles suitable for welding radiation, lasers or other specialised optical hazards.

Frameless and Highly Flexible Design

The Vaultex V701 safety spectacles have a frameless design that keeps the protective eyewear lightweight and provides a wide field of vision.

The main design features include:

• Highly flexible single polycarbonate lens
• Frameless construction
• Integrated nose bridge
• Soft spatula-type temple arms
• Clear or dark lens options
• Blue temples on the clear option
• Black temples on the dark option
• Standard adult unisex fit

The integrated nose bridge forms part of the spectacle and does not require a separate adjustable nose pad. The temple arms are not length-adjustable.

EN166F and ANSI Z87.1 Standards

The Vaultex V701 safety spectacles are specified as meeting:

• EN166F
• ANSI Z87.1

The EN166F marking relates to low-energy impact protection under the European personal eye-protection standard. ANSI Z87.1 covers occupational and educational personal eye and face-protection devices.

The stated standards do not mean that the V701 is suitable for every eye hazard. The user should consider whether the task involves impact, dust, mist, liquid splash, chemicals, intense heat or optical radiation.

Product Specifications

The construction, lens options, coating, UV rating, standards and country of origin are stated in the V701 technical information.

For jobs requiring wider facial coverage, consider a suitable product from our face shields in Kenya collection. A face shield may supplement suitable safety spectacles but should not automatically replace task-appropriate eye protection.

Workers who wear prescription spectacles should select purpose-designed over-glasses safety goggles rather than assuming the V701 will fit safely over ordinary prescription glasses.

Cleaning and Storage

Clean the Vaultex V701 safety spectacles using clean water, mild soap or an appropriate lens-cleaning solution.

Rinse off loose dust before wiping the lens. Dry it using a clean, soft and lint-free cloth.

Avoid:

• Dirty clothing or contaminated gloves
• Rough paper towels
• Abrasive fabric
• Strong solvents
• Sharp objects
• Storing the spectacles together with loose tools

Keep the spectacles in a clean, dry protective pouch or case when they are not being used.

Inspection and Replacement

Inspect the Vaultex V701 safety spectacles before use. Replace them when:

• The lens is cracked
• Deep scratches affect visibility
• The lens is distorted
• The temple arms are broken
• The integrated nose bridge is damaged
• The spectacles no longer sit securely

Damaged protective eyewear should not remain in workplace circulation.

Important Safety Limitations

The V701 is an open safety spectacle. It is not intended as:

• A sealed chemical-splash goggle
• Fine-dust or liquid-mist protection
• Welding eyewear
• Laser-protection eyewear
• A full-face shield
• A dedicated over-prescription-glasses model
• Respiratory protection
