Carhartt Pyramex Billings Safety Glasses: Review
The efficacy of the Carhartt Pyramex Billings safety glasses, the functionality, the fit- and most importantly the price our store is able to get them to you that's the subject of this blog.
These glasses are available at our stores right now at a price of under 5 dollars. You can't beat that.
Carhartt Pyramex teamed up to get you these glasses at a ridiculous price. The glasses my brother is using in this video are the Carhartt + Pyramex Billings model- price? $4.99 yeah... $4.99 in USD.

And, well- I've used my brother once again for a tester of our products. He is a farrier out of Great Falls, Montana that only uses handmade, bar stock shoes on the horses.
The argument for handmade horseshoes versus keg shoes- that isn't the subject for this blog. If you have your own thoughts on the matter, let me know by using the form at the bottom of this article.
Carhartt Pyramex Billings Safety Glasses Put to the Test
I know what you're thinking, "Safety glasses less than $5 can't be "safe."
That's why we used them shoeing horses... and at the forge... and during the hot rasp of hot bar stock, because these Billings Safety glasses are just that, safe.
We wanted to make that apparent.
Functionality of the Billings Safety Glasses
Every summer since my freshman year in college. I've been finishing horses for my brother for probably about 8 years now, and when we are working together, he always makes me wear safety glasses... and these glasses are about 15 years old, have been through two different houses, two horseshoeing apprentices and three babies.
I can barely see out of them when I'm working... and that's a good indication that you may need new safety glasses.
In the video above, we're working out of my brother's shop on the Northwest Bypass outside of Great Falls. He is building a fullered roadster with toe and quarter clips for the offside hind, and that is hot bar stock and a hammer... and those are Carhartt Pyramex Billings Safety glasses.
Functional safety? Yes. Functional horse shoe? Not so much--
This is a demo shoe as you can probably imagine, considering this horse isn't pulling anything or working in the field circa 1930.
We built it and tacked it up for the video and the still shots you see below, then pulled it and let Pete the Paint loose, half-shod.
Fit and Price Review for the Billings Safety Glasses
What did my brother say about the Carhartt Pyramex Billings? Well, as you can see from the video, these were punished in testing. Working with the forge and the belt grinder on hot metal you need to have extreme protection for your eyes.
These glasses fit well, didn't slide even when drenched in sweat and allowed for clear field of vision the entire time. These Carhartt + Pyramex Billings glasses offer UV and IR protection; they're scratch resistant for the harshest environments; they meet high impact requirements; AND they are on sale at our stores for under 5 bucks. You can't ask for more.
These Carhartt Pyramex Safety Glasses (Billings model) are tested by locals. And they surpass expectation.
