KleenGuard™ V30 Nemesis™ Small Safety Glasses – Smoke Uncoated Lens, Black Frame

The KleenGuard™ V30 Nemesis™ Small Safety Glasses 38476 provide the sporty, lightweight protection of the Nemesis platform in dimensions intended for smaller, slimmer head and facial profiles. The reduced-size frame helps improve stability, coverage, and wearer comfort for individuals who experience excessive width, temple flare, lens gaps, or slippage with standard-size safety glasses.

A fixed smoke polycarbonate lens reduces visible brightness in outdoor and other high-illumination environments. The curved wraparound profile extends spectacle coverage toward the sides of the eyes, while soft-touch temples, a wider bridge, reinforced nosepiece, and included neck cord support comfortable wear and convenient retention during active industrial work.

SKU 38476 is the smoke uncoated configuration. It should not be represented as KleenVision™ anti-fog, polarized, photochromic, automatically darkening, mirror coated, or equipped with a confirmed premium hardcoat. Current Nemesis Small family literature includes additional coating options, but those family-level treatments must not be assigned to this exact SKU without package- or lot-specific documentation.

The Nemesis Small platform is intended for wearers whose facial width, temple spacing, bridge geometry, or head circumference is not well served by a standard-size industrial frame. A correctly sized protector can improve both comfort and protective positioning.

The small designation does not indicate youth eyewear or guarantee fit for every smaller wearer. Occupational use still requires individual fit verification, acceptable coverage, secure retention, and compatibility with all other PPE.

SKU 38476 uses a fixed smoke uncoated polycarbonate lens. The tint reduces general visible brightness and is commonly selected for bright exterior and high-illumination work areas.

Current Ansell family documentation describes scratch-resistant and KleenVision™ anti-fog treatments across the broader Nemesis Small platform. The SOSCleanroom and legacy SKU-specific designation for 38476 remains uncoated, so family-level coating claims should not be transferred to this SKU.

The smoke tint reduces visible brightness but does not automatically adapt to changing light. It should be evaluated across the wearer’s complete route and task area, including shaded, enclosed, and indoor locations.

A smoke lens reduces overall visible brightness. A polarized lens uses directional filtering to reduce reflected glare from surfaces such as water, pavement, glass, vehicles, and painted metal. SKU 38476 is not documented as polarized.

• Brightness reduction and polarization are separate optical functions
• Reflected glare may remain visible through the smoke lens
• Do not advertise SKU 38476 as polarized
• Evaluate polarized eyewear for sustained glare-intensive outdoor work
• Confirm compatibility with electronic displays and instruments before changing lens technology

• The lens does not lighten automatically indoors
• The lens does not darken further in stronger sunlight
• The product is not photochromic
• The product is not electronically variable
• The product is not automatically darkening
• A clear lens may be required before entering dim work areas
• Eyewear changes should occur only in a safe location where protection may be removed

Current Ansell documentation specifies an 8.25-base-curve wraparound frame. Older SKU-specific records may round this value to a base curve of 8. Both descriptions refer to a curved sport-style profile designed to extend coverage toward the sides of the eyes.

• Extends spectacle coverage laterally
• Supports broad peripheral visibility
• Reduces dependence on separate removable side shields
• Supports a close, low-profile fit on smaller facial dimensions
• Depends on correct wearer-specific positioning
• Does not create a sealed splash, dust, aerosol, or gas enclosure

The Nemesis Small design incorporates a wider bridge and reinforced nosepiece to improve comfort and stability on smaller facial profiles. Current manufacturer literature identifies the nose-contact area as integral to the lens structure.

• Distributes contact across the bridge of the nose
• Supports correct lens height
• Helps reduce downward slippage
• Eliminates a separately adjustable nose-pad assembly
• Requires inspection for cracking, deformation, and pressure points
• Eyewear that repeatedly slides or tilts should be replaced with another frame

The soft-touch temple design helps distribute pressure along the sides of the head and supports retention without a separate adjustment mechanism.

• Supports comfortable contact on smaller head widths
• Helps reduce localized temple pressure
• Supports retention during walking, bending, and routine movement
• Must not create painful compression or headache
• Should be inspected for cracking, spreading, permanent deformation, and loss of tension
• Non-adjustable sizing makes correct frame selection especially important

Each pair includes a neck cord that helps keep the glasses available when temporarily removed in a designated safe area.

• Helps reduce dropping and misplacement
• Keeps the eyewear accessible between tasks
• Does not replace correct temple fit during active work
• Should not be used where a hanging cord creates an entanglement hazard
• Should be inspected for contamination, fraying, and secure attachment
• Must be managed under controlled-environment procedures where cords are restricted

Current Ansell documentation identifies the Nemesis Small platform as manufactured to comply with ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2020 and as Z87+ high-velocity impact rated.

• Z87+ does not make the glasses chemical-splash goggles
• Wraparound spectacle geometry does not make the product dust tight or gas tight
• The open upper and lower edges permit environmental entry
• A compatible face shield may be required for full-face hazards
• Fine dust, aerosols, and multidirectional particles may require goggles
• Welding and cutting require correctly shaded optical filters
• Laser work requires wavelength-specific optical-density protection
• Damaged eyewear must be removed from service regardless of its original rating

The polycarbonate lens filters 99.9% of UVA, UVB, and UVC radiation. This function is separate from the smoke tint’s visible-brightness reduction.

• UV filtration does not make the lens a welding filter
• The smoke tint does not establish infrared protection
• The lens is not laser-protective eyewear
• The lens has no wavelength-specific optical-density rating
• Task-specific radiation hazards require correctly rated and marked filters

Because SKU 38476 is cataloged as uncoated, it should not be expected to provide the premium fog resistance associated with KleenVision™ variants. Fogging may occur during humidity, physical exertion, mask use, temperature transitions, or restricted airflow.

• Outdoor manufacturing and facility support
• Construction and exterior maintenance
• Loading yards and shipping areas
• Transportation and fleet operations
• Groundskeeping and public-works tasks
• Utilities and exterior service work
• Open-bay warehouse and material-handling operations
• Oil and gas support activities
• Bright production and maintenance environments
• Workers requiring a smaller-profile safety frame

The Nemesis Small 38476 is not designed as over-the-glasses eyewear. Forcing it over prescription frames can distort both frames, create excessive gaps, increase temple pressure, and compromise stable positioning.

• Do not force the glasses over prescription eyewear
• Use a purpose-designed OTG protector where corrective glasses must remain in place
• Prescription spectacles alone are not automatically occupational safety eyewear
• Consider prescription safety glasses for frequent or long-duration use

• Ensure temples do not cross tight-fitting respirator sealing surfaces
• Check whether masks direct warm air toward the uncoated lens
• Verify that hard-hat suspension components do not displace the glasses
• Confirm that earmuff cushions remain fully seated
• Check compatibility with hoods, hats, and other head coverings
• Verify that face-shield brackets do not move or contact the eyewear
• Manage the neck cord where machinery or process equipment creates entanglement risk
• Confirm stable positioning during walking, bending, and representative movement

Industrial impact compliance does not establish sterility, ISO cleanroom classification, low particle release, low outgassing, disinfectant compatibility, or suitability for aseptic processing.

The smoke lens is generally better suited to bright exterior support, receiving, loading, utility, and maintenance areas than to dim controlled-production or inspection environments. Use must be evaluated under the facility’s SOP, gowning sequence, contamination-control strategy, cleaning requirements, and lighting conditions.

• Confirm that open spectacle-style eyewear is permitted
• Use sealed, sterile, or validated goggles where required by SOP
• Confirm that the smoke tint provides adequate task illumination
• Evaluate whether the neck cord is permitted in the controlled area
• Assign one pair per worker or visitor where practical
• Handle the glasses by the temples rather than the lens
• Complete fit adjustments before entering the controlled zone
• Do not place eyewear directly on benches, carts, seats, or critical surfaces
• Use only facility-approved cleaners and compatible low-lint wipes when reuse is permitted
• Do not describe the product as sterile, autoclavable, or cleanroom certified

Where reuse is permitted, clean the eyewear using mild soap and water, an approved optical cleaner, or another validated facility procedure. Remove loose abrasive particles before wiping and use a soft optical tissue, microfiber cloth, or compatible low-lint wiper.

• Do not dry wipe when dust, grit, or metal particles are present
• Do not use abrasive shop towels or rough paper products
• Avoid unapproved solvents and aggressive disinfectants
• Do not apply aftermarket anti-fog or scratch treatments without compatibility validation
• Inspect the lens for scratches, haze, cracks, crazing, chips, and distortion
• Inspect the temples, nosepiece, cord attachment points, and safety markings
• Replace the glasses when fit becomes loose or unstable
• Remove the eyewear from service after a significant impact
• Store in a cool, clean, and dry location away from excessive heat and chemical vapors
• Protect the lens from abrasive contact during storage and transport

The KleenGuard Nemesis Small 38476 is intended for small-profile occupational impact protection, outdoor brightness reduction, ultraviolet filtration, and wraparound spectacle coverage. Its fixed smoke tint may be too dark for indoor, shaded, enclosed, or poorly illuminated work. The lens is cataloged as uncoated and should not be represented as KleenVision™ anti-fog, polarized, photochromic, automatically darkening, mirror coated, premium hardcoated, or scratch-proof. The product is not a sealed chemical-splash goggle, dust-tight protector, gas-tight protector, welding filter, laser-protective device, electrical arc-flash protector, sterile eyewear, cleanroom-certified eyewear, or substitute for a face shield where full-face protection is required. Final selection must be based on the employer’s hazard assessment, lighting assessment, individual fit verification, and complete PPE compatibility review.

The SOSCleanroom customer selling quantity for SKU 38476 is 12 safety glasses per case. Manufacturer and distributor logistics records may reference larger master cartons containing multiple 12-pair packages. The active SOSCleanroom purchasing configuration should control customer-facing unit-of-sale terminology.

Historical records may identify this product under Kimberly-Clark Professional, Jackson Safety, KleenGuard™ V30 Nemesis™ Small, manufacturer code 38476, smoke lens, smoke uncoated, black frame, nylon frame, small size, base curve 8, ANSI Z87.1+, Taiwan origin, or related terminology. Current Ansell family documentation identifies sporty lightweight construction, smaller dimensions, an 8.25-base-curve wraparound profile, soft-touch temples, a stronger nosepiece, wider bridge, integral nose contact, polycarbonate lenses, 99.9% UVA/UVB/UVC filtration, ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2020 compliance, Z87+ high-velocity impact performance, included neck cord, and RightCycle™ eligibility. The exact SKU-specific uncoated designation should control coating claims, while supplied product markings and lot documentation should control formal traceability.

KleenGuard Nemesis Small safety glasses adapt the established Nemesis sport-style platform for workers with smaller and slimmer head profiles. The 38476 configuration combines a fixed smoke uncoated lens, black lightweight frame, curved peripheral coverage, reinforced bridge and nose geometry, soft-touch temples, included retention cord, ultraviolet filtration, and high-impact spectacle performance for bright industrial environments.

Technical insight: The Nemesis Small 38476 is strongest where a conventional safety frame is too wide and secure small-profile fit must be combined with outdoor brightness reduction, lightweight comfort, wraparound coverage, Z87+ impact performance, ultraviolet filtration, and convenient neck-cord retention. Its primary limitations are the fixed smoke tint, uncoated lens, open spectacle geometry, non-OTG design, and dependence on individual small-frame fit.
