Looking for a quality pair of lab goggles.

[blackhole123]

So far whenever I look for some online I don't know if they are the right kind. I've gotten a lot of results for construction goggles and such.

 

I figure I am going to be in lab a LOT throughout college so I should get a really good comfortable pair that doesn't leave red lines on my face. Right now I am still using my $5 pair. So, anyone know a good website or have a suggestion for me?

These might be up your street-they meet the latest safety standards and are soft round the contact points on the face:

Here's a range by the same manufacturer (hover your mouse over each item to get details):

Depending on where you go, and that particular institutes regulations and policies you might be able to wear laboratory glasses that have side lenses instead of laboratory goggles. I would wait and see what your particular university or college requires and/or recommends.

The glasses that Bruce suggests are the best option, but many places don't seem to allow them now. Uvex makes some of the better goggles (and cheaper ones, heck they make everything) for labs and if you have a bookstore at your school, they may sell them there.

 

The "flex-seal" goggles (item S3410X) tend to fog up if the lab is warm (and if you generally fog up your goggles) but they're exceedingly comfortable.

 

Item S3960C are the ones I wear and they look a bit more like ski goggles than lab goggles. They don't seem to fog up as much but they're not as comfortable.
