    Safety Glasses: Temples

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Temples are a huge component of safety glasses and eye protection, and as a result let’s go over some of the common used terms when discussing this piece of equipment.

    First of a ll what is a temple?  Well, a temple is the plastic or metal that stretches from the frame of your safety glasses to your ears.  Clear?  Now here are the variants.

    Pivoting or Ratcheting Temples: The ability to tilt or adjust the angle of the temple up and down in order to provide a comfortable or specific fit.

    Adjustable Temples: The manipulation of the temple in length in order to accommodate various sized faces, depending on how far the ears are away from the eyes.

    Temple Tips: The end of the temple by your ear.  These are often covered in rubber for comfort.
