Clear and Gray Lens Selection
Cordova identifies the clear Akita as EFB10S and the gray version as EFB20S. Choose clear lenses when an untinted view is needed. Gray lenses reduce visible brightness for suitable outdoor tasks. Check that workers can read labels, recognize signals and see walking surfaces under actual lighting conditions.
Keep the selected lens color on purchase orders and reorder records. A familiar frame does not make the same tint appropriate for every work area. Workers moving into dimmer locations may need a different lens option.
Adjusting the Fit
Extension changes temple length; ratcheting changes the eyewear angle. Adjust both until the glasses sit securely without uncomfortable pressure. Check stability during normal movement and compatibility with hard hats, hearing protection and other required PPE.
The clear model's specification sheet identifies a thermoplastic rubber nosepiece and integrated, vented side shields. These features do not create a sealed barrier or guarantee fit for every wearer. Prescription users need an appropriate prescription or over-the-glasses solution.
Safety Standards & OSHA Requirements
Cordova's Akita product information lists ANSI Z87.1+ performance and 99.9% UV protection. The plus designation indicates high-impact performance. Check the supplied eyewear markings and instructions when selecting protection for a task.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 requires eye protection appropriate to workplace hazards and side protection where flying objects present a risk. Employers must select the required protection through a hazard assessment.
These glasses are not sealed chemical-splash goggles. Neither clear nor gray tint establishes welding, laser or arc-flash protection. Additional face protection may be required for grinding and cutting tasks.
Care and Repeat Orders
Inspect lenses, temples and adjustment points before use. Protect the lenses from grit and abrasive storage surfaces. Replace eyewear with cracked parts, distorted lenses or scratches that interfere with vision. Scratch-resistant coating does not make lenses scratch-proof.
Manufacturer Specification Sheet
Cordova Akita EFB10S clear-model specification sheet (PDF) documents construction and ordering details for the clear version. Confirm the selected lens option before ordering.
