3M SecureFit 400 Series
The 3M SecureFit 400 Series earns its spot as best-in-class for general-purpose safety glasses thanks to patented pressure-diffusion temple technology and a lightweight design that balances coverage and all-day comfort. Compared with contractor-focused models from DEWALT and Milwaukee it offers a more adaptive fit and broader lens options, and it typically sits in a mid-range price point offering better long-term value than pricier sealed goggles like the Uvex while providing more structure than the Bollé Rush+.
