The first and the finest since 1952.
The Glass-Gard design combines a fully adjustable, washable band with patented Positive Grip Tips. The adjustable slides fit and grip temple ends ranging from the thinnest wire to wide plastic frames without slipping.
The non-elastic construction looks sharp, will not stretch, and is made for long service. Exclusively designed high-impact molded plastic parts replaced the earlier metal components, making the holder lighter and more comfortable while resisting body oils, salt, and other chemicals in the air.
Rugged enough for use by the United States Armed Forces, Glass-Gard can also be worn with a hard hat, hat, cap, or other protective equipment.
