face shield

Sorry Mac, I got side tracked. I am getting a little old and I just got my B12 shot. I saw the new "UVEX Bionic Shield - Clear Lens - on the internet. It looks good but I do not know if its working and if its worth the money they are asking. When I read Rainex anti-fog it reflected another image in my mind. I did used dish washing soap on my shield and wiped it dry. It works a little but only for a short time. Have a good day.

On most shield types I've used, the visor is vented up top, it's up to the wearer to provide air flow from the bottom, which means keeping it at a tilt which does not close the flow. Logger masks have glasses above, mesh below, but they are heavier. Check and see if you might not be able to wear the band of the visor at a bit of a tilt if yours is one where the shield blocks flow at certain angles. Remember that you put your chin down into your chest and huff and puff harder when concentrating, so the angle you use at ease may not be best when working up close.

You might even think of adding extra ventilation up top if it won't weaken the visor. I've moved my visor to other places, because I don't stand in risky places or with risky gouge angles any more. When a piece of bark flies, I'm nowhere near it, and my glasses stay dry even when the sap hits the opposite wall 12 feet away.

Antistatic sprays and wipes are pretty effective at beading moisture, too.

Hi George,

At time, I am tempted to drill holes (similar to a salt shaker) through the shield where my mouth is. This may facilitate the warm air to exhaust. Or it may make the situation worse?

Denis.. I'm no expert, but my gut feeling is that holes, even small ones, might weaken the shield...
