Choose Pyramex I-Force model SB7070SDT for the dual-pane goggle with a strap and temples, H2X anti-fog, and a MIL-PRF-32432 high-velocity bullet. The title says a clear lens. The color cell says silver mirror. Look at the photo. Choose Uvex Genesis S3200X for the black-frame clear glasses, a dual 9-base wrap, and bullets that name ANSI Z87+ and CSA Z94.3. The weight cell says 1.09 ounces. A firearm stays at a licensed dealer.

Key takeaways

  • SB7070SDT is the I-Force goggle. The title says clear. The color cell says silver mirror.
  • The impact bullet says MIL-PRF-32432. The 2.36-inch cube is a package.
  • S3200X is the Genesis clear glasses. The bullets name ANSI Z87+ and CSA Z94.3.
  • The Uvex weight cell says 1.09 ounces. Neither box is a firearm.

Buy the Pyramex I-Force, model SB7070SDT, when you want the dual-pane goggle the bullets describe: an outer polycarbonate lens, an inner acetate lens, H2X anti-fog on the outside lens, and a pass against MIL-PRF-32432 high-velocity impact. Buy the Uvex Genesis S3200X when you want the clear-lens glasses the title names, with a dual 9-base wrap, soft nose fingers, and a card that says ANSI Z87+ and CSA Z94.3. One is a goggle with a strap in the bullets. The other is a pair of glasses. A firearm stays at a licensed dealer. Neither box is a firearm, and neither box is ammunition.

Short version. A different pair of shooting glasses is a different model. Foam earplugs do not cover your eyes. A lens pen cleans an optic you already own. The rifle is a separate conversation, and it stays at the counter. Match the eyewear model before you match the word safety.

The Pyramex title says I-Force Sporty Dual Pane Anti-Fog Goggle, black frame, clear anti-fog lens. The model cell says SB7070SDT. The color cell says silver mirror anti-fog. The lens-color cell says silver lens. Those three sentences are not the same lens. The title says clear. The color cell says silver mirror. Open the photo and read the model. If the lens in the picture is mirrored, the title lost. If the lens is clear, the color cell lost. Do not average them into a lens that does not exist.

The bullets are the goggle. Ratcheting quick-release temples and a strap, so the same frame can be worn as glasses or as a goggle if both pieces are in the pack. A scratch-resistant polycarbonate lens with 99 percent UVA, UVB, and UVC protection. An outer polycarbonate lens and an inner acetate lens meant to fight fog. H2X anti-fog on the outside lens. A pass on MIL-PRF-32432 high-velocity impact. The sport-type cell says airsoft. The eyewear-type cell says safety goggles. The dimension cell says 2.36 by 2.36 by 2.36 inches, which is a cube, not the width of a face. The weight cell says 2.4 ounces. The frame-material cell says metal, and the material cell says metal and polycarbonate, while the bullets say polycarbonate and acetate lenses. Read the lens claim from the bullets. Read the cube as a package. Item package quantity 1. Number of items 1.

Pyramex model SB7070SDT. The title says clear. The color cell says silver mirror. Uvex model S3200X, black frame, clear lens, 1.09 ounces. A 10-pack and a bifocal insert are different cards.

Who should buy the I-Force, and who should buy the Genesis?

Buy SB7070SDT if you want a dual-pane goggle you can also run on temples, and you will settle the clear-versus-mirror argument by looking at the lens in the photo before you pay. The MIL-PRF-32432 line is the impact sentence on this card. The sport cell says airsoft. A card that names airsoft is still eyewear. It is not a rifle, a pistol, or a magazine. If your range or your shop told you to wear a specific standard, read that standard against the bullet, not against the word goggle.

Buy S3200X if you want glasses, not a goggle: a black frame, a clear lens, a dual 9-base wrap, soft nose fingers that conform, and adjustable temple length and lens inclination. The bullets say the pair meets ANSI Z87+ and CSA Z94.3. The title says anti-fog coating. The weight cell says 1.09 ounces. That is a light pair. It is not a seal around the whole eye the way a strapped goggle is. Dust, a side wind, and a close-fitting cap are different problems. Glasses leave a gap. A goggle tries not to.

Do not buy either pair because a photo somewhere in the search showed a firearm. These boxes are lenses and frames. Do not buy a 12-pair industrial pack and call it one pair of SB7070SDT. Do not buy a bifocal Genesis insert and call it S3200X. The insert is a different part.

What the Pyramex SB7070SDT is actually for

The I-Force is a goggle with a second lens behind the first. The outer lens takes the scratch and the weather. The inner acetate lens is the fog claim. H2X is the coating the bullet puts on the outside lens. If the coating is worn off, the bullet is no longer describing the lens in your hand. Replace the lens or the goggle. Do not wipe the coating with a dry shirt and expect the anti-fog sentence to survive.

The quick-release temples and the strap are both in the first bullet. If the box arrives with only one of those, count the parts against the bullet before you leave the porch. The 2.36-inch cube is not the goggle. A goggle that wide would not reach your ears. Treat the cube as the mailer. The 2.4-ounce cell is a weight you can check. The metal frame cell and the polycarbonate bullet can both be trying to describe a frame and a lens. Look at what you received. If the frame is clearly plastic, the metal cell is the one that failed, not your eyes.

Do: decide clear or silver mirror from the photo and the lens in the mailer, and keep the model SB7070SDT on the bag. Don't: wear a mirrored lens into a low-light bay and wonder where the target went. Don't: assume the airsoft cell means the goggle is a toy. The impact bullet is MIL-PRF-32432. Don't: put a firearm in the same photo when you are showing someone which goggle you bought. The goggle is the product. The firearm is not in this box, and it stays at a licensed dealer.

What the Uvex S3200X is actually for

The Genesis is a wrap of one clear lens in a black frame, with a soft brow and soft nose fingers. The bullets call the lens a dual 9-base wrap for peripheral vision, and they say the nose fingers conform to most nasal profiles. Temple length and lens inclination adjust. That is a fit system, not a second pane. If you fog a single lens, you do not have an inner acetate pane to fall back on. The title says the coating is anti-fog. Keep the coating. A paper towel is how anti-fog becomes a smear.

S3200X is the model in the title. The weight cell says 1.09 ounces. That is light enough to forget on your face, which is the point, and light enough that a heavier goggle will feel like a different product, because it is. ANSI Z87+ and CSA Z94.3 are the standards the bullets name. If a supervisor or a range officer asked for a different marking, read the temple stamp on the pair you received. The card is the claim. The stamp is the pair. A 10-pack of the same model is a different listing. This card is the one pair the title describes.

Do: fit the nose fingers and the inclination before you walk onto a range or into a shop. Don't: wear them over a cap brim that lifts the frame off your cheeks and opens a gap the wrap was meant to close. Don't: call them a goggle. They are glasses. Don't: store them loose in a pouch with a screwdriver. The hardcoat is scratch-resistant in the family description. It is not scratch-proof.

How to wear them without mixing the jobs

Put the Genesis on when you want glasses that stay light and you are already wearing plugs or muffs that do not fight a strap. Put the I-Force on when dust, a close berm, or a rule at the bay wants a seal and a strap. You can own both. You should not wear both at once. The strap on the I-Force and the temples on the Genesis occupy the same ear.

Hearing protection is a different box. Foam plugs and electronic muffs do not change which lens you bought. If the I-Force strap fights a muff headband, use the temples the first bullet included, or move the muff band. Do not take the eyewear off to make the muff comfortable. Eyes and ears are both open on a loud bay.

Clean both with the method the coating can survive. A wet microfiber, then air. No dry circles on the H2X coat and no dry circles on the Uvex anti-fog coat. Store each pair in its own sleeve so the models do not swap in the truck. Write SB7070SDT and S3200X on the sleeves. Clear and black look alike once the hang tag is gone, and the Pyramex color cell has already proved the title can disagree with the swatch.

What actually fails on these two cards

The I-Force reorder fails when you needed a clear lens and the mailer is silver mirror, or the reverse. The title and the color cell disagree. The photo and the model SB7070SDT are the check. It fails when the 2.36-inch cube convinces you the goggle is a two-inch toy. It fails when the metal cell and the plastic in your hand do not match and you never looked. It fails when the strap is missing and the bullet promised temples and a strap.

The Genesis reorder fails when the pair is a different Uvex with a tinted lens, a bifocal, or a 10-pack. S3200X and the clear-lens title are the check. It fails when 1.09 ounces makes you think a missing pair is still in a pocket it already fell out of. It fails when you wanted a sealed goggle and bought glasses because both cards say anti-fog.

The shared failure is treating eyewear as a firearm accessory that includes the firearm. It does not. The rifle, the pistol, and the ammunition stay at a licensed dealer. These two products are lenses. A scratched lens is the failure you can see. A standard you did not read is the failure you find when someone asks to see the stamp.

What this comparison is not

It is not a firearm, a magazine, a holster, or a round of ammunition. It is not a muff and it is not a foam plug. It is not a promise that every I-Force is clear, because this card's color cell says silver mirror while the title says clear. It is not a promise that every Genesis is S3200X.

It is not a license to skip the fit. A standard on a bullet is the claim for the lens. The gap under the frame is still your face. Seat the glasses. Seat the goggle. Then do the work you came to do, with the firearm still purchased where the law says it is purchased.

So which eyewear should you buy?

Buy the Pyramex I-Force, model SB7070SDT, when you want the dual-pane goggle, the strap and the temples, and the MIL-PRF-32432 bullet, and you have looked at the photo because the title says clear and the color cell says silver mirror. Buy the Uvex Genesis S3200X when you want the black-frame clear glasses, the 9-base wrap, and the ANSI Z87+ and CSA Z94.3 bullets, at the 1.09 ounces the weight cell prints. Both are eyewear. Neither box contains a firearm.

Frequently asked questions

I-Force or Genesis for eye protection?

SB7070SDT if you want the dual-pane goggle and the strap. S3200X if you want clear glasses with the 9-base wrap and the ANSI Z87+ bullet.

Is the I-Force lens clear or silver mirror?

The title says clear. The color cell says silver mirror anti-fog, and the lens-color cell says silver lens. Look at the photo and the model SB7070SDT.

Is either box a firearm?

No. One box is a goggle. The other is glasses. A firearm and the ammunition stay at a licensed dealer.

Which standard is printed?

The I-Force bullet says MIL-PRF-32432 high-velocity impact. The Genesis bullets say ANSI Z87+ and CSA Z94.3. Read the stamp on the pair you received.

What is the 2.36-inch cube?

The I-Force dimension cell says 2.36 by 2.36 by 2.36 inches. That is a package cube, not the width of the goggle. The weight cell says 2.4 ounces.

Do these replace earplugs?

No. They cover eyes. Foam plugs and muffs are a different box. Wear the hearing protection the bay requires as well.
