Frequently Asked Questions

What's a 'wrap temple' and why does it matter on this frame?

Wrap temple is a Titmus design language — the temple arms curve slightly inward at the tip rather than running straight. The practical effect is that the frame stays planted on the ear under work-day movement: bending, kneeling, crouching, leaning over a bench. Standard straight temples slide off when the head tilts forward. The SW06E’s wrap temple is the reason this frame has a customer base that re-orders the same model for years.

Are the side shields integrated or removable?

Integrated — molded into the frame chassis, not clip-on. That permanence is what keeps the ANSI Z87.1 cert valid through impact testing; removable shields can pop loose and disqualify the configuration. If you need a frame that doubles as off-shift eyewear, the integrated shield rules this one out for everyday wear. If your safety officer wants a frame where compliance can’t be defeated by removing parts, the SW06E is the right pick.

Will the SW06E fit a stronger prescription without distortion?

Yes, with a high-index lens cut. The SW06E lens housing is shallower than a wraparound, which actually helps high-Rx wearers — less optical curvature, less edge thickness, easier to keep the optical center on target. Polycarbonate handles single-vision to roughly +/-5.00 sphere; high-index 1.67 takes you above that comfortably. If your existing pair of glasses is high-index 1.67, ask the lab to use the same index — you’ll get the closest visual match between work and personal eyewear.

How does it fit under a hard hat or face shield?

Cleanly. The wrap-temple geometry sits flat against the side of the head, which means the arm doesn’t push out into the hard hat suspension or under the face-shield browpad. The integrated side shields are flush to the lens housing rather than projecting outward, which is the opposite design pattern from clip-on shield kits — a face shield will close over the frame without catching. If you’ve had eyewear knocked off by hard-hat suspension before, the SW06E is the geometry that fixes it.

Is the SW06E a corporate-program-friendly frame?

Yes — it’s one of the longest-running approved frames on industrial corporate programs because of the integrated-shield architecture and the predictable Titmus fit profile. We accept Corporate Program vouchers at checkout, which means employees can apply their employer’s safety eyewear allowance directly. If your employer hasn’t enrolled yet, the Corporate Safety Eyewear Program link in the footer goes to our enrollment page.
