What is the difference between the Cougar and the C2 Series?

The key difference is bifocal placement. The Cougar has a bottom bifocal — ideal for reading, close-up work, and general job site use. The C2 Series has a top bifocal — specifically designed for hunters and shooters, where your eye naturally looks upward through the lens toward your sights. Both are ANSI Z87.1+ certified.

Are the Cougar Bifocal Safety Glasses ANSI and OSHA compliant?

Yes. The Cougar Bifocal Safety Glasses are ANSI Z87.1+ certified and OSHA compliant, meeting or exceeding current impact protection standards for workplace and industrial use. They are approved for use on job sites, in workshops, and at the range.

What magnification strengths are available?

The Cougar is available in 8 magnification strengths: +1.00, +1.25, +1.50, +1.75, +2.00, +2.50, +3.00. If you are unsure of your strength, we recommend starting with the magnification you use for your reading glasses.

How many frame colors does the Cougar come in?

The Cougar is available in 21+ frame colors across four collections — solid colors including black, red, royal blue, gray, white, purple, and pink; two-toned colors; pastel colors including powder blue, powder purple, seafoam green, and southern peach; and patterned frames including forest camo, white camo, carbon fiber, and splash paint.

Do the Cougar Safety Glasses provide UV protection?

Yes. All Cougar Bifocal Safety Glasses provide UV400 protection, blocking 100% of UVA and UVB rays — making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use including bright sunlight conditions.

How are bifocal safety glasses different from regular reading glasses?

Regular reading glasses are not impact rated and offer no eye protection. The Cougar combines safety glasses with built-in readers — giving you ANSI Z87.1+ certified impact protection alongside your magnification. One pair replaces two, keeping you protected without interrupting your workflow.

Can I wear the Cougar over my prescription glasses?

The Cougar is not designed as a fit-over frame. If you need safety eyewear that fits over prescription glasses, check out our Outlook Fit Over Prescription Series — designed specifically to wear comfortably over your existing frames.
