Anyone that works with power tools or paint should already know that wearing safety gear is an absolute necessity. That includes professionals and do-it-yourselfers alike. Five must-have working wearables include closed-toe shoes or boots, gloves, hearing protection, masks or respirators, and, perhaps most importantly, eye protection. It only takes the smallest particle making contact with your peepers to ruin your day and, perhaps more permanently, your vision.
First off, I absolutely love the names of both the company and the product. ToolFreak is a brand that I immediately want to do more business with.

I can’t really argue with them. The people at ToolFreak want to make a point of showing off their quality materials, production processes, and strict quality control! Their customer service is excellent so if something’s not right, they’ll make it right.

There are a few other 3M products on our list of best safety goggles but the Solus 500 Series is one of the few pairs that feature a Scotchgard anti-fog coating. 3M claims that it lasts longer than traditional anti-fog coatings to help increase eyewear performance in wet and steamy environments. Hm. Sounds good and I’m familiar with Scotchgard-ed materials so that sounds like a very good thing.
The active ingredient of the coating is bonded to the lens which provides reliable, clearer sight. The coating retains effectiveness for at least 25 washings with water, allowing workers to wear their eyewear longer. They also withstand disinfection with diluted bleach soaking or alcohol wipes without losing anti-fog performance. Pretty cool.
The Solus 500 Series safety goggles meet the requirements of ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3 standards. These aren’t meant to wear with prescription specs but 3M sells prescription inserts that may be used with these safety goggles. Indirect vents help with fog prevention and airflow.

That also means you’re getting a decent seal around your eyes. The neoprene headband is extremely comfortable and easy to adjust. The clear panoramic view is also great once the goggles are well secured on your face.
The anti-fog properties are pretty amazing; you’ll have a tough time getting these to steam up even a little in hot, wet conditions. Your experience may vary, especially if wearing a respirator in conjunction with the GoggleGear 6000s. Wearing them with an N95 mask will be just fine. While these are the green variety, 3M also makes a black version however at the time of this writing they were sold out.
