Side by Side Comparison of: 3M vs DEWALT

I had to acid wash our pool this year and had never used a respirator before. I bought this and spent several hours spraying acid, scrubbing, and rinsing. This worked great had no leaks, was able to breathe. Great product will buy another.

This is a great product - I have a small face, and even though the mask would fit and seal well on a larger face, it was easy to get a good fit and seal for myself. I wear glasses and goggles with a tight seal over them, and I was able to get a good seal with the mask after minimal adjustment, without the mask or goggles interfering with each other in fitting them. The only complaint I'd give is that there are two pieces of oval cardboard sitting in the inner side of the cartridges, but no instructions regarding whether these need to be removed or if the cartridges need to be "opened" or "activated" or are "ready to go".

I'm preparing for the end of the world. And what better way to extend my life so I can watch as the aliens descend upon us, than to have a decent respirator. Just that few extra minutes is all I need!Or for the daily life. when I bleach the bathroom. I won't be getting holes in my lungs any longer.Honestly - this mask is awesome- I never had fresher air entering my lungs. I would wear this all day every day if I could - that is if it weren't so big and obvious and if it didn't make a dent around my nose in the shape of a triangle.Maybe I'll wear it in a performance someday on stage.

Used this respirator for putting down a 2-part epoxy floor. MUST HAVE! Not only for the fumes from acid washing, but the so-thick-you-can-cut-them VOC fumes from the epoxy. I had the mask on for hours without discomfort. I nearly choked when I took it off to take some photos since the fumes were so thick.Very good value/investment.

Worked great, good fit and comfortable and the price was better than any local stores. Downside is it does NOT seem to have removable cartridges, either that or they are on so tight it feels like you will break the mask trying to remove them.

I give this product high reviews because I am not dead. To my heirs, if I die by respiratory complications please update this review ti indicate two stars. One extra star because it was comfortable while it led to my demise.

I have gone through tons of these goggles of various brands I use them for a lot of tasks, side grinding, weed whacking, belt sanding, chain sawing, etc, etc.These Dewalts are the first goggles I have actually liked.If you work hard enough you can still fog them up but they are definitely ventilated and more fog resistant than most and they do a good job of not restricting or obscuring your vision.They are the only ones I will buy from now on.They will scratch, but generally a few scratches aren't a problem, get a few pairs.

Great goggles. They fit right over my glasses so comfortably and seal my face off in just the right way from all the various woodworking stuff flying around when I am working. I note that someone said he had a problem when he was sanding but I haven't noticed that as an issue so far, but I will keep a watch out for that.In the end, these are so much better that what I had before and for such a reasonable price, they well deserve the 5 stars.

I love these- super comfortable. I use them whenever I'm doing anything in the garage that could be a risk- grinding, drilling and even when spraying certain types of chemicals. Better safe than sorry.The price on these is awesome, considering how well made and comfortable they are. I've tried cheaper ones- but there's no reason to be uncomfortable and have poor vision to save a couple bucks.These are optically excellent, which is important to me. I can't stand the cheap ones with flaws in the lenses. You will like these... no doubt.

These work so well, I bought a second pair. One for indoor woodwork, etc. and one for outside string trimming, power washing, and other chores. I have a wide face and metal eyeglasses. They fit very well. There are slots in each side for glasses to slide thru while keeping a seal. Of course they fog when hot and sweaty but much less than any others. Fogging easily resolved by using soap on the interior. Only problem is that after a year hard use, the strap lost a lot of its elasticity. I probably washed off the sweat with something I should not have used. I'd buy another in a heartbeat - can't replace a lost eye!

these are well worth the money they look great they feel great no little pieces of wood chips getting glasses do not fog, in great stocking stuffer Easter Bunny basket as I did stick it in my daughter's Easter basket has she graduated blueprint school so they were well worth the money as they were only $10 and the best product out there so if you're good with your hands and you going to carpenter school as my daughter did I made her I told basket from the Easter Bunny tool belt hammer drill drill bits ruler pencils wire cutters everything to go with carpenter woodworking and you would think she wasn't child again with her carpenter Easter basket and DeWalt is a very great brand name my daughter Margaret Maryann Beale 11 was very happy and surprise you would think she was 2 years old again after the Easter Bunny came and here she's 24 years old congratulations love mommy, S.I.N.Y.LADYRIDER

These are so much better than the 99 cent glasses you get at typical hardware stores. They provide protection against air particles such as dust and spray paint. I have used mine a lot and have got them extremely sweaty and gross with almost no noticed wear on the plastic or soft foam. They are quite large but should fit most faces.

Works great for dust and vapor control. Not so good for smoke, but then it is not designed for that.

They're really comfortable and by themselves, they fit and seal great. i wear them while woodworking in a hot Texas garage. I keep a large shop fan on full blast and it blows a lot of dust around that inevitably ends up in my eyes, even when wearing traditional safety glasses. These do a good job of sealing around my face so that even when standing directly in front of the fan, no dust ends up in my eyes. The clarity of the lens is strikingly clear, like wearing nothing at all (keeping them that clear will be the challenge). The only reason I don't give them 5 stars is that I can't wear them with a dust mask or they don't seat well against my face. So I have to choose, dust in my eyes or dust in my lungs... Still searching for that perfect combo.

They are good for the price for sure. I got them for woodworking; keeping sawdust out of my eyes and it seems to do that. No fogging yet. But for my glasses, it does fit over them, but because of the way the nose is on the goggles, the glasses kind of move up on my nose (if that makes sense). Probably just the way my glasses fit since others don't have that problem. Like I said I can still wear both, jut not the way I had hoped (hence 4/5).

I'd like to say I bought these for the big landscaping project I'm planning to use a chainsaw for, or a crazy chemistry experiment I'm prepping the lab for, but in reality, I bought these because neither I nor my girlfriend can stand to cut onions and we cook a lot, so this is a kitchen investment. The seal isn't perfect, but for the purpose of blocking out the evil onion vapors, and saving my tears, these work great! Plus, I look like a supreme bad-ass when I do it. Especially with my shark apron on. Girlfriend definitely agrees and most certainly did not laugh uncontrollably when she saw me wearing them...

These are excellent quality protective glasses. The straps are thick and easily adjusted. The rubber around the glasses that go against your face is comfortable and tight to where no dust or dirt comes through. The glass is thick plastic and I had a rock kick up and hit it with no damage at all. The reason for one less star is fo that they are far from antifog. I have to lift and wipe them about every five minutes as I am unable to see our of them.

Good price, less than anywhere else I looked.Good fit around my face and nose, but unlike what some reviewers stated, will not fit over standard eyeglasses. Even if you have very small framed glasses, I can't see the snug fitting seal being comfortable at the temples. I decided to keep them anyway, as I really need to keep saw dust out of my eyes more than seeing clearly.

I work in an auto body shop at a dealership and recently they have been on our case to have safety glasses on mostly at all times. Even during hand sanding/blocking. I got tired of the flimsy 3M glasses they supplied us. Originally, I had a pair of 3M glasses with a small strap to keep them hanging on but they kept getting in my way and the 3M glasses scratch so easily after being placed back in your tool box. Every week I was buffing them with a small 3" polisher to remove the scratches they accumulate. The 3M glasses always made it harder to work with them on because it made it harder to see if a panel was sanded down to the proper dullness that I preferred with my paint work. I'd sand a panel, think I was ok, then blow it off and take the glasses off and I'd see "skippers" all over the place. I eventually stopped wearing the glasses because I couldn't see anything and kept getting "reminded" by upper management that I have to be wearing these glasses, even during light sanding.I did some looking around for 3M brand safety glasses but couldn't find anything I liked. These DeWalt's looked like they were right up my alley and they are nice! I've had them for about a month now and they have some small scratches but you can't see them when the glasses are on. And unlike the 3M glasses, with these on it looks the same as without. No slightly obscured vision that makes it harder to tell what you are doing in low/bad lighting situations. The strap is nice, so if you want to flip the glasses up to have them on your head when they are not needed at the moment they will still in place. The outer shell comes off so you can clean the lens if need be, and apparently they sell replaceable lenses for these, but I have not needed this yet so I can't comment on the price of replacement lenses.These glasses do fog up after a while. It takes awhile, but can be annoying. They can also be annoying if you have them on a little too tight or have a head cold. I had a head cold for a week and it always felt like they were on too tight and making my sinuses worse.Beyond the fogging up issue, I highly recommend these goggles. Especially for mechanics who work in garages where safety glasses are enforced.

Problem was that is was not mentioned in sales page that the cartridges could not be replaced.

Its good for the costume im using but doesnt really say how to get the filters off

3 of 5 stars because they are not anti-fog. I bought these for doing demo work involving taking down a plaster wall. I wanted some glasses that would seal tighter to keep out dust and allow me to wear a respirator. They do better than typical safety glasses at anti-fog, but still fog up with a respirator on. I ended up taking these off after a few minutes and going back to regular safety glasses because those at least de-fog faster.The seal around your face is actually a rubber material. gets pretty uncomfortable after a few minutes.Loosened them as much as I could.I'll keep these and use them for table saw or something, but not for demo work like i bought them for.

These are very sturdy safety glasses that seem well-constructed. However, they are made for very specifically-sized heads/faces. On me, the glasss are too wide (and too firm). As a result, there is a gap at the temples between the frame of the glasses and my face. This makes them not particle-proof, and it probably also contributes to them fogging. These WILL fog if you are trying to use them with a cheap paper particulate mask. I can only usethese for about an hour or so before they drive me absolutely nuts, either because they are fogging or because they are giving me a headache from squeezing my head because I have fo have them that tight to try to eliminate gaps. I'd probably look for more flexible glasses in the future. If your face is somewhat wide and your temples don't cave in a bit like mine but are instead pretty straight down (or if your face is more fleshy), you might not have this problem.

I love Dewalt, they are my choice for power saws, but these are an utter failure. If you sweat in the sun from the forehead area, expect the sweat to get in the goggles and fog them up. Maybe they are great in an air conditioned shop, but for working in the sun, they are a no-go.3 stars because I don't think a nail would penetrate the protective plastic.I'll use these again when it isn't in the high 90's, and update the review towards a cooler environment.

I buy everything Dewalt makes pretty much. I really wanted a good pair of googles for my workshop. These glasses are comfortable, very durable, and offer a lot of protection. However, they fog up in a minute or two of wearing them. I don't get why, either. There are clearly vents on the top and bottom that should give plenty of air flow but they simply don't work. These glasses are just a nice paperweight sitting in my cubby hole of safety glasses now.

I consider myself to have a normal shaped face, but find the fit is quite poor near my cheek bones. If I make it tight enough to almost seal against my cheeks, the pressure on my forehead is unbearable (and I don't have a big forehead either).These VERY easily fog (within minutes in a cold workshop) but the old scuba trick of spitting on them seems to work ok-ish, but I wouldn't market them as anti-fog by any stretch of the imagination.The rubber seal works ok otherwise. Vision is good (after applying spit for anti-fog). Have already managed to scratch the plastic (and I'm not being reckless).

They do a good job of protecting your eyes from flying debris and dust, but still fog up pretty badly. They should call them "reduced fog" instead of "anti-fog," because they do hold it off for a while; instead, you just end up with water filling up the area at the bottom (at first) and then, eventually, fog. If you are doing a job that requires tilting your head up a lot (like painting ceilings), you might as well forget it.

When I looked at these safety glasses and asked the question "will my eye glasses fit inside them" I got the answer that yes they would. Not true. Eye glasses and these safety goggles are not compatible. They also don't fit well with my mask.3M 62023HA1-C Professional Multi-Purpose..., which I like. I'm sure they are excellent safety goggles if you have good vision.

While these offer superior coverage and protection for your eyes, these fog... horribly. Tight, loose, hot, cold, inside, outside, sweating, not sweating, paired with a mask or not... these will fog. If you can never sweat, not wear a dust mask (properly) and/or only wear them in the dead of winter... the fog can be bearable. Any form or heat or sweat and they're completely unusable. Moving your dust mask down with the goggle's lower rubber pressed up against your lower eye lids, you can make it work, but not really the protection I'm looking for. Dealt with for a few weeks and purchased an all-in-one full-face respirator mask.

These are great looking goggles and if you don't use them they remain great looking goggles. Maybe if you don't use them they remain great looking goggles.I wore them scraping off my popcorn ceiling. After a short while they fogged up and became useless.I wore them again, after carefully washing off the grim and dirt from removing my popcorn ceiling when I needed to smooth out my now popcorn free ceiling and in a short period of time they fogged up. They were useless to me and I returned them.

The fit is not that great and if you are also wearing a dust respirator, it is likely that the mask will fog up a bit (again due to the fit). It is large enough to wear glasses underneath. It will leave an impression on your face along the contour of the seal.

They look great and do a great job of protecting your eyes as the should. Comfort is next to none, the problem I have is that I spend most of my time clearing fog from inside of them. It gets to the point that by the time I put them on and pick up the tool I am using they are already fogged up and I can't see. This is unsafe in itself. You can wear them over glasses but not as comfortable and still have the same problem of fogging up. I'm mad because they where highly recommended by a YouTuber, and I got three pair for myself and my sons. I'm at the point I really want to send them back.

I purchased these goggles to use while sanding finish off of deck rails. On the plus side, they fit well over my glasses. However, they fogged up almost immediately and I had to keep taking them off every few minutes to wipe the condensation from the inside so that I could see. What was most troubling is that the wood and paint dust from the sanding went right into the tiny vents around the top & bottom of the goggles and into my eyes - days later my eyes are still stinging. The attached image shows some of the dust caked inside the vented top section of the goggles.

Anti-Fog my left toe. They instantly fog as soon as I put them one and when I leave them on (due to flying demo debris) they end up actually filling with condensation. I'm sending them back.

Not thrilled. They fog. bought specifically because "DeWalt XtraClear anti-fog lens coating provides tough protection against fogging" in ad, plus reviewers saying they did not fog. I was in a garage on a mildly humid day, and I got about 30 - 60 seconds of work time each time. THey are inexpensive and protect your eyes, but if you cant see, its all pointless.

Worst goggles ever. I have a normal frame to my face and everything fits well on me, but this goggles are not comfortable on my face The hurt my face and they will yours too. The yellow foam or seal is hard not soft to feel good on your face. You puts this guys on and you immediately want to take them off, Very bad fit and hard material for your face. Maybe of you are a robot with no feeling to your face that might work.

Sorry Dewalt, but - swing and a miss. The straps are a little too high on the frame of the glasses. There is a gap between your cheeks and the bottom seal. And the plastic around the back that makes a seal is too hard. Not sure why you didn't us silicone elastomer line in a diving mask. That would seal very well.

I bought these as other reviewers recommended them for those that wear glasses. They are not comfortable, they leave an imprint on your face from the rubber seal, they fog up, and they let dust in when doing any finer detailed cutting. I attempted to adjust them several times and kept having the problem. I thought this might be a fluke and tried again the next day after adjusting them multiple times. I ended up cleaning wood dust out of my eyes for the next few days . They do not work and I tossed them so that I would never be tempted to use them again. I would mention that I usually love Dewalt products, but cannot recommend these to anyone. Save your money and buy another brand

Purchased to wear while using a leaf blower. I wear glasses, these fit over glasses very good,BUT while using them today (it was 60 degrees outside) in 5 minutes they were fogged up so I cannot see. Pretty much worthless if your gonna do a bit of sweating.
