Lightweight Economy Safety Glasses for Facility and MRO Use
The 3M Virtua AP Safety Glasses protective eyewear offers reliable eye protection at a price that fits any safety budget. Designed as part of 3M’s economy line, this eyewear delivers essential impact-rated protection for workers in facilities, military maintenance, repair operations (MRO), warehouse logistics, and light manufacturing.
The wraparound design offers a wide field of vision and extended lateral coverage, while integrated side shields protect against debris from all angles. Contoured temples ensure a secure and comfortable fit—ideal for long wear during facility inspections, overhaul procedures, or on-site service calls.
The gray polycarbonate lenses block 99.9% of UVA and UVB rays, making this protective eyewear suitable for both indoor and outdoor tasks. ANSI Z87.1-2020 certified, Virtua AP glasses are a smart pick for bulk PPE programs looking to balance safety and affordability.
