Advanced Protection with Uvex Stealth Chemical Goggles
Honeywell Uvex Stealth S3960HS safety goggles combine a clear HydroShield anti-fog lens, gray body and neoprene headband. Their low-profile design and indirect ventilation support chemical splash and impact protection for industrial work. A soft elastomer body and pivoting headband help workers adjust the fit.
Key Features
- Toric lens provides a broad peripheral view.
- Bonded HydroShield coating helps reduce fogging.
- Quick-adjust headband with pivoting attachment.
- Replaceable lens supports routine maintenance.
Common Uses & Applications
- Chemical handling and laboratory tasks.
- Manufacturing and industrial maintenance.
- Construction and utility operations.
- Pharmaceutical and processing facilities.
HydroShield Anti-Fog Performance
HydroShield helps maintain visibility when moisture accumulates on the lens. Indirect vents channel airflow while providing splash protection. Performance depends on conditions, fit and lens care; no anti-fog coating guarantees clear vision in every environment.
For repeat purchasing, specify S3960HS to match the clear lens and neoprene band. Other Stealth part numbers identify different tints, headbands or frame designs. Confirm the required configuration before standardizing supplies across a department.
Prescription Options & Fit
This is the standard Stealth model. Honeywell offers the S3959 prescription insert; Stealth OTG is a separate design for wearing over prescription glasses. Do not assume this low-profile model will accommodate an employee's existing frames.
Evaluate goggles together with the worker's other PPE. Check coverage and stability during normal movement, and ensure helmets or respirators do not displace the goggles. Choose the protection combination through the workplace hazard assessment.
Safety Standards & OSHA Requirements
Honeywell lists Stealth as meeting ANSI Z87.1 high-impact requirements, with CSA certification and D3 chemical-splash protection.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 requires eye protection appropriate to the exposure. Prescription users must have suitable corrective protection or protection worn over their glasses without disturbing either lens position. Product ratings alone do not establish compliance for every task.
D3 does not mean gas-tight protection or resistance to every chemical. Select additional face protection when needed. Clear lenses are not welding filters.
Care & Replacement
Inspect the lens, body and headband before use. Follow manufacturer cleaning instructions and replace damaged components. Stop hazardous work if visibility becomes obstructed. Honeywell lists S700HS as the clear HydroShield replacement lens; verify availability when planning maintenance supplies.

FAQ
- Does this model use Uvextreme coating? No. S3960HS uses HydroShield anti-fog coating.
- Is this the Stealth OTG? No. Confirm the separate OTG model if you need to wear goggles over prescription frames.
- Can the lens be replaced? Yes. Inspect the remaining components too; a new lens does not correct a damaged body or headband.
