ERB silver mirror safety glasses are light, low-cost safety sunglasses with a mirrored lens that cuts glare on bright, open jobs. They are an easy pair to keep in every truck so nobody works without eye protection.

Why crews wear them

A mirrored lens reflects some of the light before it reaches your eyes, so it is a good choice for open lots, roadside work and days on snow or pavement where glare bounces up at you.

Because they are cheap, these are the glasses to hand out to the ground crew and keep in the glove box. Swap to clear lenses for shade and low light.

Mirror lenses do scratch more visibly than plain tinted lenses, so keep them in a case or soft bag between uses rather than loose on the dash. At this price it is easy to keep a spare pair in every truck.

Fit, care and replacement

Good safety glasses sit close to the face without pressing on your temples under a helmet strap or earmuff cushion. Try them with your helmet and hearing protection on, because that is how you will wear them all day.

Keep a spare pair in the truck so a scratched or lost pair never means working without eye protection. Rinse grit off with water before wiping the lenses, store them in a case or soft bag, and replace them once scratches start to blur your view. Look for the ANSI Z87.1 marking on the frame and lens when you need rated safety eyewear. Browse more eye protection.
