Looking after it
Wash the visor in warm water with mild soap and dry it with a soft cloth. Solvents and abrasive cloths scratch polycarbonate and scratches are permanent. Replace the visor when you can no longer see clearly through it.
About this product
A polycarbonate face shield with an oversized anti-fog window.
Integrated side and chin guards against splashes and flying debris, an extended crown, and a ratcheting headgear knob big enough to turn with gloves on.
A full face visor in polycarbonate with an anti-fog coating and an oversized window, so you get a wide unobstructed view while you work.
Side and chin guards are integrated rather than bolted on, which closes the gaps splashes and debris come through.
The headgear uses a ratcheting dial the listing calls a 370 Speed Dial. The knob is oversized and fine-toothed so you can grab and turn it wearing gloves.
The crown extends further than a plain visor, which adds coverage over the top of the head.
The listing states the clear tint shields meet or exceed ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3.
A face shield does a job safety glasses cannot: it covers the whole face against splashes, sparks and flying debris. It is not a substitute for eye protection underneath, and most workplaces require both.
The visor is polycarbonate, which is the material that takes an impact without shattering. The window is oversized and anti-fog coated, so the view stays wide and stays clear when you are working warm.
Side and chin guards are built into the shield rather than added on. That matters, because the gap under the chin is where splashes reach the face on a plain flat visor.
The headgear adjusts on a ratcheting dial with a large fine-toothed knob. You can grip and turn it wearing work gloves, which is the point.
The listing states the clear tint shields meet or exceed ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3. Those are the United States and Canadian standards and the claim is the manufacturer's. The Australian standard for eye and face protection is AS/NZS 1337, and this listing does not claim it. Ask us before ordering if your workplace requires AS/NZS certification.

Got questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a face shield replace safety glasses?
No. A face shield is secondary protection. Most workplaces require safety glasses or goggles underneath it, and so does common sense: a shield can be lifted or knocked aside.
What is the visor made of?
Polycarbonate, which absorbs impact instead of shattering.
Will it fog up?
The window carries an anti-fog coating. Ventilation still helps, and the coating wears with cleaning, so replace the visor when it starts fogging again.
Can I use it for welding?
No. This is a clear shield. Welding needs a filter lens shade rated for the process and the amperage you are running.
Can I use it for grinding?
It is designed for splash and flying debris, which covers grinding, but check your site's requirement for a specific impact rating first.
How does the headgear adjust?
A ratcheting dial at the back. The knob is oversized and fine-toothed so you can turn it wearing gloves.
Will it fit over a hard hat?
The listing describes standalone headgear and does not state hard hat compatibility. Ask us before you order if you need a hard hat mount.
Will it fit over my glasses?
A face shield sits well clear of the face, so prescription glasses usually fit underneath. If you want purpose-made cover glasses, the protective glasses on this site are made to fit over prescription eyewear.
Does it meet AS/NZS 1337?
The listing does not claim it. It states ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3, which are the United States and Canadian standards and are the manufacturer's claim. Contact us if you need AS/NZS documentation.
How do I clean it?
Warm water, mild soap, a soft cloth. No solvents, no paper towel, no abrasive pads. Polycarbonate scratches easily and scratches do not come out.
When should I replace the visor?
When scratches, crazing or pitting make it hard to see clearly, or after any significant impact.
Can I buy replacement visors?
Not listed on the site. Contact us with the model and we will check with the supplier.
Is the chin guard removable?
The listing describes the side and chin guards as integrated, so no.
Does it protect against chemical splash?
It is designed for splashes. Whether it suits a specific chemical depends on that chemical, so check your safety data sheet and your site's requirement.
Can I wear it with a respirator?
Usually yes, but the fit varies by mask. Try them together before you rely on the combination.
Does the anti-fog coating wear off?
It wears with cleaning and time. Wash gently and replace the visor when it stops working.
Is the window tinted?
It is a clear tint, which means you see natural colour. It is not a sun or welding filter.
Will it stay on if I bend over?
Set the ratchet snug before you start. A properly adjusted headgear holds position when you look down.
Can I use it outdoors in the rain?
Yes, though water on the visor blurs your view the same way it does on a windscreen.
How much of my face does it cover?
The listing describes an oversized window with an extended crown plus side and chin guards, so coverage runs from above the forehead down past the chin.
Is it comfortable for a long shift?
Comfort comes down to the ratchet adjustment and the weight sitting on your brow. Set it snug rather than tight.
Can I share one between workers?
Yes, if it is cleaned between users and the headgear is readjusted each time.
Is there a warranty?
It carries the consumer guarantees of the Australian Consumer Law. The listing does not publish a separate manufacturer's warranty period.
Do you sell them in bulk?
Yes. Use the wholesale quote form and tell us the quantity.
Does the price include GST?
Yes, all prices are in Australian dollars and include GST.
How much is delivery?
Delivery is free anywhere in Australia on orders of $100 or more. Under $100 it is a flat $25. Express delivery is $25 on any order, whatever the total.
How long will my order take?
Orders are handled in 24 to 48 hours and then take 5 to 7 days to reach you. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the parcel ships.
Do your prices include GST?
Yes. Every price on this site is in Australian dollars and includes GST.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
Yes, within 15 days of purchase. The item needs to be in its original packaging and you need your receipt or order confirmation. You pay the return postage on a change-of-mind return. If the item is faulty, not as described, or does not do what it is meant to do, we cover the return and your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not affected.
What if it arrives damaged?
Tell us straight away and send your order number. We cover the return postage on a damaged or lost delivery and process the refund within 24 to 48 hours of getting the item back.
