UvexUVEX by Honeywell Bionic Face Shield with Clear Polycarbonate Visor (S8500)

Hello All, It's Steve_In_TN With Another Review!This product is awesome. I planned on getting one of the crazy cool safety masks from Westworld, but those bad boys are expensive. I'll put a link below if you want to coolest of safety gear. This split the balance between looking cool and being very affordable.Construction:Fit: No issues. Highly adjustable fitFeel: I like how it sits. You can adjust to how it rests.Usability: It works great for grinding, cutting, sanding, etc. It will fit a respirator underneath if you have one that is somewhat low-profile. Best thing...you can replace the face shield if it gets messed up!Issues: A little heavy.Pros:Solid constructionShields very wellDoesn't fog easilyFits a respirator (low-pro)Replaceable face shield!Cons:It's a bit heavyI would recommend this product. It provides a great viewing area, doesn't fog easily, and has a replaceable plexiglass face.The 3/4 Westworld-style Face Shieldraygear X-Shield: 3/4 Face Non-Vented Smoke Face Shield Worn Like Glasses - Use With Hats, Caps and Helmets

Very nice face shield, I'll be using for wood turning on my lathe. The helmet is lightweight and designed well. The lens is crystal clear (one the protective film is removed from both sides. (As a side note, I can't believe there are 203 reviews of this product giving 1 star because they couldn't figure out that the face shield has a protection film on it. It's scary to think that these people drive a car and vote!)This piece provides adequate protection without being restrictive and gives me full coverage on the sides of my face. The replacement lenses are inexpensive and it's good to always keep a couple on hand. This helmet has several points of adjustment to get a good fit.Overall, this is a definite good buy and I would buy again.

Great eye protection for your shop

I must admit the first time I saw this, I was drawn by the space age look. The price seems a little high at first since you can find other face shields sub-$10. In the end, I believe this was a very worthy investment.The shield pivots like a welding mask and has adjustments so it can sit closer or further away from your face. No issues with fitting around my glasses. The head band has two adjustments on top and on the back which gives a very snug fit that stays no matter how I move my head. This stability turns out to be a very important advantage I didn't think of when shopping for cheaper alternatives. The head band has dense foam padding in the forehead side and softer felt in the back and I've worn it for several hours without any discomfort.The polycarb. shield is very clear and easy to remove. The shield also worked well over a respirator. After some metal cutting with cutoff wheels, I found the static properties of the plastic can attract the fine dust. A simple rinse in the sink cleans it up and ready for the next project.

Excellent comfort and visibility

Works great, easy to adjust, and stays secure. No issues with visibility. I can wear this over my eye glasses.

I got this shield after watching an episode of "Stumpy nubs." The shield is roomy for glasses and a N-95 mask. I haven't tried it with my respirator. I like it, but the set-up proved to be a pain... not attaching the headband to the shield, but the shield itself proved to be an unnecessary pain.When I opened the box, the shield wasn't entirely clear, but was mostly clear. I thought the plastic had aged as there was significant lag between when I ordered the shield and when I opened the box. Turns out there's a non-obvious, untinted plastic film covering the shield. Worse, I called Honeywell and they didn't suggest looking for this (they went right into warranty replacement mode, which, because I got it from Amazon turned into problem - kudos to Amazon customer support, especially Myla, who took good care of me, proved to make this hard). While I was working the issue, I did a little web surfing and found another review who noted his shield had a bluish-tinted film out of the box. Sure enough, after a little work, I found my shield had a film on it. It was precisely sized to the shield, so there wasn't a hint I needed to peel it off. Hopefully this will save someone else the time I spent figuring this out. C'est la vie.

I was using my weed trimmer without any eye protection. I got a piece of weed in my eye and even though I got it out my eye got infected. The infection was cleared up with antibiotics and now I wear it when ever I need eye and face protection. I love it. It’s so comfortable, I forget I even have it on while I’m working.
