3M Virtua CCS Safety Glasses (Clear lens) review 2026
Bob Vila scored it 9.0/10; TechGearLab gave it a Best Buy Award — with a removable foam gasket and anti-fog/anti-scratch lens
Is the 3M Virtua CCS Safety Glasses Worth It?
Best safety glasses. Two outlets we read directly both rated this well, and both also reported real limitations (a flimsy frame, imperfect fog resistance in humidity) rather than pure praise — which is exactly the kind of balanced testing we trust.
3M Virtua CCS Safety Glasses Pros & Cons
- Bob Vila, read directly, rated it 9.0/10 in their own safety glasses review
- TechGearLab, read directly, gave it a Best Buy Award
- Removable foam gasket with an anti-fog, anti-scratch polycarbonate lens blocking about 99% UV
- TechGearLab's own testing found the frame construction "flimsy"
- TechGearLab also noted it doesn't have the best fog protection in high-humidity environments
- The foam gasket can melt near an open flame — not rated for hot work
