While both of these goggles may work well, 2 things to remember:
=A0
1. They must be approved for use by the manufacturer for working with hazar
dous chemicals, and 
2. Modifications to existing PPE - such as changing strap assemblies - must
 be approved by the manufacturer.

Hi everyone,

=A0

I have a laboratory worker who claims to have an issue with how the strap o
n chemical splash goggles puts pressure on the back of the head (specifical
ly with where the strap puts pressure).=A0 I've already suggested that perh
aps the strap is too tight, but apparently loosening the strap doesn't solv
e the problem.=A0=A0Also=A0the strap tends to migrate back to this same nui
sance position if it is moved up or down slightly.=A0 Does anyone know of g
oggles which use an alternative strap position, or perhaps that don't use s
traps?=A0 I've had no luck in locating any.

=A0

Thanks for any input,

=A0

Kristi,
 
I had a professor complain about the same thing. 
 My solution was to get a strap for a scuba mask fit it to the goggles.  This in conjunction with a strap protector has alleviated the problem.  The two links below are examples of what I am talking about.  You
 can probably take the mask into a local dive shop and get the appropriate 
strap.
