product description
The 3M 334 Series Splash Safety Goggles are economical protective eyewear designed to protect your eyes from splashing liquids, dust, debris, and light impact hazards in industrial, laboratory, and workshop environments. They are part of 3M’s robust lineup of safety goggles that balance cost-effective performance with essential protective features — making them ideal for everyday safety tasks or workplace eye protection programs.
These goggles are engineered to fit over most prescription glasses and meet global safety standards for impact protection, combining comfort, visibility, and compliance for a broad range of uses.
Key Features
Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Lens
The 334 Series uses high-strength polycarbonate lenses that are inherently strong and highly resistant to impact, helping to protect against flying particles, light impact, and other workplace hazards. The lenses also absorb 99.9 % of harmful UV radiation, protecting your eyes from UVA, UVB, and UVC exposure during indoor or outdoor tasks.
Anti-Fog & Clear Visibility
Certain 334 variants (like the anti-fog model) feature an anti-fog coating that helps minimize condensation when working in humid, hot, or strenuous conditions. This coating maintains clarity of vision over time and reduces the need for frequent wiping or cleaning, helping you stay focused on your task.
Indirect Ventilation System
Uniquely, the 334 Series goggles include indirect vent ports that help circulate air inside the goggle while preventing splash and dust ingress. This design reduces the buildup of heat and moisture behind the lens, decreasing fogging without sacrificing protection from liquids or particles.
Fits Over Prescription Eyewear
The goggles are designed with a wide opening and spacious internal frame so they can comfortably fit over most prescription glasses. This means users don’t have to sacrifice visual clarity or give up their corrective eyewear when working, improving both safety and convenience.
Adjustable Elastic Head Strap
The elastic cloth strap ensures a secure, personalized fit for various head sizes. It helps keep the goggles stable even during head movement or when working in awkward positions. The strap is durable and adjustable, contributing to all-day comfort.
