3M Ratchet Headgear H8A and WP96 Face shield

This is a well made product that stays in place. It is easy to adjust and you can make it fit tight if you are moving around a lot amd don't want it to slide off.The IS NOT a light weight virus screen. It is designed to protect your face from flying objects, sparks, fragments etc.I really like the fact the shield comes down to cover your throat. Nobody wants a grinding wheel fragment in the jugular. Don't listen to the virus princesses, yes wearing protective equipment can be uncomfortable all day, but millions of people wear them everyday in industrial environments.If you want to pretend to block viruses, get a cheaper light weight one. This one is for protection from serious injury.

This is 3M quality. I use this as a face shield during work. It’s a tad heavy- they coul have made it lighter by using carbon fiber or graphite. But still a great face protector

I am allergic to grass, so I have been wearing a 3M mask and safety glasses whenever I mow, do weed eating, and as well as any kind of chainsaw and/or wood work.I have now ALSO developed an allergy to glasses on the bridge of my nose and I cannot wear safety glasses anymore. As a matter of fact, I had to have a precancerous spot frozen off the bridge of my nose from my prolonged use of safety glasses. (!) If I wear any kind of glasses, regardless of the 4 different nose bridge/pad materials I've tried, my skin gets irritated to the point it takes 4-5 days for the irritation to subside.I finally pulled the trigger and got this face guard, and let me tell you it does a way better job of keeping dirt, dust, and grasses out of my eyes than safety glasses ever did. I should have purchased this 20 years ago. This face shield is a dream come true.Even when the wind is blowing dust clouds my direction I get nothing in my eyes. This is an absolute joy to wear while I'm trimming trees with the chainsaw too. There are times I actually forget that this thing is on.When I'm done at the end of the day I simply rinse it off at the sink and use a sponge with some dish soap to clean it up. Safety glasses were okay, but now when I'm using the weed eater nothing ever hits me in the cheek anymore. This face shield makes safety glasses seem innaffective.Instead of a 3M filter type mask I now wear a thin balaclava underneath the face shield. Unlike my previous setup, I never get steam or fog inside of my face shield. 👍👍👍The knob on the back is very handy for adjusting the tension of the headband, and is easily adjustable even with thick chainsaw gloves on.The hard blue plastic at the top on the front acts as a miniature hard hat: I cannot tell you how many times a branch has hit that thing while I was mowing or doing some weed eating underneath the trees. 👍👍

This helmet is comfortable and can quickly be adjusted to fit over a hat or beanie. The 3M faceshield is thick polycarbonate (1/16" or 2.6mm) which is ideal for cutting and grinding steel. The clear face shield is far enough from your face that breathing normally doesn't fog up your view. It also extends past your chin, so if your grinding disc explodes your neck will be protected.

I like this shield for several reasons. There is a knob on the back that adjusts to your head size and the cover on the head is comfortable. The shield wraps around the side of head to your ears. The shield is long and goes to near your chest but doesn't touch it. I can lift up the shield to stay put at certain angles. I can wear my mask underneath the shield comfortably and breath comfortably. People can hear me talking with it on, I don't have to yell.The only negative for me was I had a hard time snapping the shield cover into its holding slot. I was scared I might break the shield but I got it to snap to the head frame. But that's all you have to put together. The head frame is already put together. I was worried I might be at loss by buying this but I am so glad I did! I hope the prices don't go up cuz then I won't be able to buy another when I get more money too. Great Invention who ever made this. Thank you for making me feel more safe when I venture to the stores during this pandemic.
