Husqvarna Sport Glasses

Husqvarna Sport Glasses are a lightweight, wraparound pair of safety glasses meant for everyday saw and ground work. They are the kind of glasses you keep on all day while bucking, feeding the chipper and raking up, and cheap enough to keep a spare pair in the truck.

Where these glasses earn their keep

Most eye injuries on a tree crew do not come from the saw itself. They come from chips kicked off the chain, twigs snapping back while you drag brush, and dust blowing out of the chipper chute. A pair of wraparound glasses that you actually leave on is the fix, and that is what the Husqvarna Sport Glasses are built for.

The wraparound shape covers the sides of your eyes, where a mesh visor alone can let fine sawdust in. Many climbers and saw operators wear glasses under a mesh visor for that reason, especially when cutting dry or dead wood. Browse the rest of our eye protection if you want tinted lenses or a helmet visor to pair them with.

Fit, care and replacement

Check that the arms clear your ear muff cushions without breaking the seal; thin temples matter if you wear helmet-mounted muffs all day. Clean the lenses with water and a soft cloth rather than a sleeve full of sawdust, which scratches them fast.

Replace glasses when the lens is pitted, scratched in your line of sight, or the frame is cracked. Confirm the marking on the lens and frame meets the eye protection standard your employer or the job requires before relying on them.

Keep a second pair in the truck. Glasses get sat on, scratched and lost in the brush pile, and a groundie who has to finish the day without them is the one who ends up with a chip in the eye.
