Frequently Asked Questions
Are the MSA 10038846 Arctic Elite safety glasses a good choice for working outdoors in bright sunlight?
Yes. The MSA 10038846 Arctic Elite is the gray-tinted "Outdoor" model in MSA's Sightgard Protective Eyewear line, with a gray tint lens that cuts brightness and glare in sunny, outdoor conditions. It's a lightweight, slip-on spectacle rated Z87+ for high impact and built to protect against flying particles, dust, and chemical splash. An anti-fog coating keeps the lens clear, and rubber-tipped temples and nosebridge give a comfortable, secure fit for all-day outdoor wear. It's a strong pick for construction, mining, oil & gas, and general outdoor industrial work in bright light.
What safety standards do the MSA 10038846 Arctic Elite safety glasses meet?
The MSA 10038846 Arctic Elite meets or exceeds ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3, and carries the Z87+ marking for high-impact protection. ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 is the U.S. standard for occupational eye protection, CSA Z94.3 is the equivalent Canadian standard, and the "+" in Z87+ certifies the lens passed the high-velocity, high-mass impact tests. The lens is polycarbonate, an inherently impact-resistant material.
What does the Z87+ rating mean on the MSA Arctic Elite glasses, and what is the lens made of?
Z87+ means the eyewear passed the high-impact testing of the ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 standard — the "+" specifically certifies resistance to high-velocity and high-mass impacts, beyond the basic Z87 rating. On the MSA 10038846 Arctic Elite, that protection comes from a polycarbonate lens, a material chosen for standing up to high impacts. So Z87+ indicates these are true high-impact-rated safety glasses, not just basic eyewear.
Do the MSA 10038846 Arctic Elite glasses have anti-fog lenses?
Yes. The MSA 10038846 Arctic Elite has an anti-fog coating on its gray tint polycarbonate lens, which helps maintain clear vision in humid or temperature-changing conditions where standard lenses tend to fog. The "Gray Anti-Fog Lens" is a defining feature of this exact part number.
Can the MSA 10038846 Arctic Elite glasses be used for chemical splash and dust protection, and in what industries?
Yes. MSA positions the Arctic Elite for protection against particles, dust, and chemical splash. The gray Outdoor model (pn 10038846) is targeted at applications such as assembly and mechanical work, chipping, chiseling, drilling, grinding, machining, sanding, and sawing, across industries including mining, oil & gas, general manufacturing, primary metals, pharmaceuticals, aviation, and transportation. As spectacles (not goggles), they suit light-splash and airborne-particle exposure rather than heavy liquid splash, for which sealed goggles are recommended.
Do the MSA 10038846 Arctic Elite glasses fit most people, and are they comfortable?
Yes. The MSA 10038846 Arctic Elite is a one-size-fits-all, slip-on spectacle designed for men and women. It uses rubber-tipped temples and a rubber nosebridge for a comfortable yet secure fit, and it's lightweight for all-day wear. The wraparound spectacle shape stays in place during active work.
What's the difference between the gray, clear, and mirror MSA Arctic Elite safety glasses?
All three are MSA Arctic Elite spectacles in the Sightgard line, Z87+ impact-rated with anti-fog coating, but they differ by lens and intended environment. The gray tint model (pn 10038846) is the Outdoor version, cutting glare in bright light. The clear model (pn 10038845) is for Indoor/Humid conditions and adds a Tuff Stuff anti-scratch coating. The indoor/outdoor mirror model (pn 10059671) lets workers move between bright and low-light areas and adds maximum UV protection (U6). Choose gray for outdoor/sunny work, clear for indoors, and mirror for changing light conditions.
Are the gray-tinted MSA Arctic Elite glasses actually better than standard clear safety glasses for outdoor work?
For outdoor use, yes. Standard clear safety glasses protect the eyes but do nothing about sun glare, so workers often squint in bright light. The gray-tinted MSA 10038846 Arctic Elite gives the same Z87+ high-impact, ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 / CSA Z94.3 protection while its gray tint reduces brightness and glare outdoors, and the anti-fog coating keeps the lens clear. If the work is indoors, the clear Arctic Elite (pn 10038845) is the better match; for bright outdoor conditions, the gray model is the upgrade.
Where can I buy the MSA 10038846 Arctic Elite gray anti-fog safety glasses?
The MSA 10038846 Arctic Elite Safety Glasses with Gray Anti-Fog Lens are available at Industrial Safety Products (industrialsafetyproducts.com), sold individually (each). They're the gray, Outdoor version of MSA's Sightgard Arctic Elite line, rated ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 / CSA Z94.3 with a Z87+ high-impact, anti-fog polycarbonate lens.
