Honeywell Uvex Hypershock S2940HS (Black frame, clear lens, 10-pack) review 2027

What problem do anti-fog safety glasses solve, and what does the Honeywell Uvex Hypershock S2940HS offer?

Fogged lenses are the reason people take safety glasses off in the middle of a job, and that is exactly the gap the Honeywell Uvex Hypershock S2940HS is built to close. Its tagline is straightforward: ANSI Z87.1-2015 rated with HydroShield anti-fog coating. The HydroShield coating is a named anti-fog technology rather than a generic claim, which matters when you are comparing listings that all promise the same thing in vague language.

The certification is confirmed in two places. The ANSI Z87.1-2015 rating appears on both the Amazon listing and Honeywell's own store page, so the safety claim does not rest on a single seller's description. The lens is polycarbonate, the standard material for this class of eye protection.

Buyer volume backs up the everyday usefulness of the design. It carries Amazon's Choice status with 4.5 stars across 1,315 ratings. That is a large body of feedback for a single SKU, and it points to people using these glasses in real conditions rather than buying them once and forgetting about them.

What the Hypershock does not solve is availability. Honeywell's own direct store lists this exact SKU as discontinued, even though it remains actively sold on Amazon and other PPE distributors. If your plan depends on restocking the same model for years, that is a problem the anti-fog coating cannot fix.

How did the Honeywell Uvex Hypershock S2940HS score 7.4?

We scored this model across five criteria, each with its own maximum. Here is how the points landed.

• Certification — 26 out of 30. This criterion measures ANSI/ISEA or equivalent safety-rating compliance. The Hypershock earns most of the available points because the ANSI Z87.1-2015 rating is confirmed on both the Amazon listing and Honeywell's own store page.
• Independent review consensus — 15 out of 20. This measures genuinely confirmed hands-on testing read from an outlet's own page. The Hypershock loses points here because no independently confirmed outlet review was found.
• Comfort and fit — 18 out of 25. This covers wearability for extended use, including fog resistance, padding and adjustability. The HydroShield anti-fog coating is the main contributor to the score.
• Durability — 8 out of 15. This weighs build robustness and any warranty. The polycarbonate lens is the relevant material here, and the score reflects a modest result.
• Value — 7 out of 10. This compares price against certification and build. The price we found was for a 10-pack rather than a confirmed single-pair price, which limits how precisely value can be judged.

Add those together and you get 7.4, which places the Hypershock fourth out of six products tested in this category.

What are the standout strengths of the Honeywell Uvex Hypershock S2940HS?

The strongest point is the dual-source certification. Seeing ANSI Z87.1-2015 on both the Amazon listing and Honeywell's own store page means the rating is not a claim that exists in only one place. For anyone buying eye protection for a workplace, that kind of confirmation is the difference between a spec sheet and a verified standard.

The second strength is HydroShield. It is a named anti-fog technology, not a generic anti-fog claim, and it is the reason the comfort and fit criterion scored as well as it did. Fog resistance is the single feature that determines whether safety glasses stay on a wearer's face through a full shift.

The third strength is the track record with buyers. Amazon's Choice status with 4.5 stars across 1,315 ratings is a meaningful signal of consistent satisfaction at scale.

Where does the Honeywell Uvex Hypershock S2940HS fall short?

The availability question is the one to take seriously. Honeywell's own direct store lists this exact SKU as discontinued, even though it remains actively sold on Amazon and other PPE distributors. Anyone planning to standardize on this model should confirm current availability before relying on long-term restocking.

Pricing is the second caveat. The price we found was for a 10-pack, not a confirmed single-pair price, so buyers comparing it against single-pair listings are not comparing like for like.

Third, no independently confirmed outlet review was found. That is why the independent review consensus criterion came in at 15 out of 20 rather than higher.

How does the Honeywell Uvex Hypershock S2940HS compare with the 3M SecureFit 400 and 3M Virtua CCS?

Against the 3M SecureFit 400, which scored 8.3 at $13.98, the Hypershock is behind on overall score. The SecureFit 400 carries ANSI Z87.1-2020 and CSA Z94.3-2007 ratings plus 3M Pressure Diffusion Temple Technology, and it uses a polycarbonate lens like the Hypershock. The Hypershock's counterweight is price: at roughly $11.08 per pair in the 10-pack, it comes in below the SecureFit 400's $13.98.

Against the 3M Virtua CCS Safety Glasses, which scored 7.7, the Hypershock is slightly behind. The Virtua CCS is priced at $10.11 at Home Depot, $15.43 at Amazon and $8.19 at Walmart per Bob Vila, and it blocks roughly 99% UV with a polycarbonate lens, a removable foam gasket and an anti-fog/anti-scratch lens. Bob Vila scored it 9.0/10 and TechGearLab gave it a Best Buy Award. The Hypershock's advantage is its confirmed ANSI Z87.1-2015 rating on two sources, where the Virtua CCS spec row lists UV blocking rather than an ANSI number.

What is the price and value of the Honeywell Uvex Hypershock S2940HS?

The price we found was approximately $11.08 per pair, based on $110.79 for a 10-pack at envirosafetyproducts.com. That per-pair figure is derived from the 10-pack listing, not from a confirmed single-pair price, so treat it as a bulk-buy number rather than a shelf price.

On the value criterion the Hypershock scored 7 out of 10, which reflects a price that sits below the 3M SecureFit 400's $13.98 while carrying a confirmed ANSI Z87.1-2015 rating and the HydroShield anti-fog coating.

Who should buy the Honeywell Uvex Hypershock S2940HS?

This model is right for bulk workshop or classroom use needing anti-fog protection. The 10-pack format, the per-pair price and the HydroShield coating all point to a setting where several people need eye protection at once and fogging is the recurring complaint.

It is a weaker fit for anyone who needs a single pair, wants a confirmed single-pair price, or needs a model they can restock indefinitely. The discontinued listing on Honeywell's own store makes long-term standardization risky, and the absence of an independently confirmed outlet review means buyers who rely on hands-on testing coverage will not find it here.
