Rothco Glacier Sunglasses with Wind Guard

Rothco Glacier Sunglasses combine a plastic frame with removable leather side guards and a removable nose piece for added coverage around the lenses. The guards are intended to reduce direct exposure to wind, dust, and debris from the sides, making the design relevant for bright, breezy outdoor conditions. An included elastic neck lanyard helps keep the glasses close when they are taken off.

The lenses are 2.0 mm polycarbonate with anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings. Rothco also specifies UV400 protection. These are useful optical and comfort features, but the source does not provide an industrial-impact standard, ballistic rating, prescription compatibility statement, or certification for occupational eye protection. They should not be marketed as safety glasses unless separate authoritative evidence is obtained.

The stored Woo product has one black color variation. Fit dimensions, lens tint transmission, replacement parts, and a care method are not included in the available source facts. Clean and store the glasses according to any instructions supplied with the product, and avoid claims that the coatings make the lenses impossible to scratch or fog.

Browse Eyewear for other sunglasses and protective-looking styles, comparing documented lens and frame features rather than appearance alone. The Hiking & Backpacking Gear Guide can help connect eyewear with headwear, hydration, and weather layers for an outdoor kit. Buyers who require regulated workplace or range protection should verify the applicable standard independently.

The removable guards allow the wearer to choose between more open airflow and additional side coverage. Anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings can reduce common problems but require appropriate handling and are not absolute. The elastic lanyard is a retention convenience, not protective headgear. UV400 is the documented ultraviolet specification; impact or ballistic protection must not be implied from the polycarbonate material alone.
