ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--3M’s newest line of safety eyewear, 3M™
SecureFit™ Protective Eyewear, enhances comfort and wearability by
seamlessly integrating self-adjusting temples and a secure fit into a
single product. Designed with 3M’s proprietary pressure diffusion temple
technology, SecureFit protective eyewear naturally adjusts to individual
head sizes to help reduce eyewear slippage and discomfort.
“SecureFit protective eyewear is a game-changing product,” says Chris
Dujovski, product manager, Head, Eye, and Face Protection, 3M. “There
was a lot of hard work and innovation that went into designing this
product, and we couldn’t be more excited to offer such a unique pair of
comfortable protective eyewear at such an economical price.”
3M researchers developed the pressure diffusion temple technology after
completing a comprehensive study that examined different face shapes and
sizes from around the world. The study identified approximately 600
different touch points on the human face that then guided the design and
fit of the protective eyewear line. The key benefits of pressure
diffusion temple technology are: a secure, comfortable fit, its ability
to self-adjust to a wide array of head sizes, which ultimately reduces
the need to stock multiple frame sizes, and it helps reduce frame
slippage during head movement.
The cool design of SecureFit weighs in at less than one ounce, is
available in three shades: clear, amber and gray, and comes with either
anti-fog or anti-scratch lens coatings to best adapt to an individual’s
working environment.
