I have several faceshields, all variants of the basic MSA unit, seen here:

Once annoyance is I often get chips or sawdust coming underneath the visor, since it sits several inches away from my face. Has anyone ever used this model?:

I've not seen it discussed here, but it seems to close in under the chin a bit more.

Looks even more uncomfortable than the first one :-).

While I agree that a full face shield is the best protection, I find myself using goggles and a turtleneck leather apron most of the time because I just don't like wearing the shield.

if I am making a lot of chips, I use a 3-M Airmate - if you have the $, I think you would like it

Ditto that. The more your face gets enclosed, the more you sweat and the more the visor fogs up. I have a Bullard PAPR I picked up on eBay for cheap. It's great working in an uber hot and dusty environment and have clean air gently cool your head.
