Eye Protection

The “Eye Protection” category includes personal protective equipment (PPE), which protects the eyes from risks to which only they are exposed (eg: high temperatures, dust and steam, UV and IR rays, etc.) with various types of eye protection. Work Foxx offers a large selection of protective welding equipment, safety glasses and visors manufactured according to European quality standards. The offer includes equipment from Lacuna, Coverguard, Univet and Climax brands.
