Series All-Purpose Face Shield, Clear Polycarbonate Shield, Ratchet Headgear with Blue Comfort Temple Band (New Version)

Love the construction, adjustable headband, but the face shield came with only on side protected and the inside is all scratched and scuffed so much that I can't see clearly. I did order another one and the same thing. But as I was getting ready to send back, I said, let me look again. My big fat fingers couldn't find the protective plastic, so I took a xacto knife and found. So sorry. Change my review to 5 stars. MY mistake. I would suggest that you have a printing on the inside as well so you know its there. It definitely is hard to remove than the outside one. Thank you and again my apology.

I occasionally use a high speed grinder to cut metal with the danger of small metal particles bombarding my face. I ordered this sturdy shield that is reasonably priced. Although the instructions did not mention the fact that a thin plastic film covers the front, this was obvious because of writing on the film. After I peeled the film the shield was still cloudy, so I returned to Amazon and got a replacement. After peeling the front film from the replacement, this second shield wa also cloudy just like the first one. I contacted the manufacturer (Sellstrom) 800-323-7402 and a nice lady informed me that there is a second film covering the reverse side of the shield. After removing the film on both sides the shield is perfectly clear and is a a nice protector for my face. If you order one of these be sure to remove the film from both sides.

Shield a bit cloudy for lathe work...correction. A plastic protection needs to be peeled off of the shield....then it's nice and clear!

I'm keeping this review at a one star so that the manufacture and customers see that there is a problem that can be easily improved on. There is a protective film on BOTH sides of the face shield, but there is printing only on one side so many people including myself are thinking the the other side does not have a film. Mine look scratched and cloudy until I removed the other film which is hard to get an edge to start removing. I ended up using a knife near a top edge.There are three possible improvements for this problem:1. Print messages on both films about removal2. Put a sticker on the unmarked film with instructions to remove it3. Put instructions and a video in the description on Amazon on how to remove both filmsThis would result in a major improvement in customer satisfaction

I was able to lock the shield in any position during use. It was also light weight, did not move around easily and the shield was crystal clear. There was also a variable ratchet adjustment knob on the back of the band that fitted my head perfectly. IMO this beats the 3M shield I had in every respect.

I am happy with this face shield.i have not had it that long but so far so good. Very clean clear view , a few times i have tried to touch my face, adjust glasses only to bang my hand into it... to me that tells me it is so clear i am forgetting it is there.using this saves me having to wear additional eye protection which tends to fog up when i get too hot. This face shield also has room for my 3m6000 series half face mask... so pretty sweet to be comfortable AND safe at the same time.Frankly i should have bought this years ago...

I have had it about a week. This works great. The inside feels nice on the forehead so it's easy to forget you have it on. Easily adjusted to fit myself down to a 5-year-old. The only thing I would complain about is how the plastic faceplate connects to the rest of the helmet. It just has flimsy loose sort of pins that turn to hold it on. I've actually had one side pop off while I was working. I need to try and find a way to tighten its connection but not make it permanent in case the faceplace needs replaced. For the price, though, it's a great deal.

The face shield arrived on time and packed well, no damage. The headgear fits very well and is comfortable. The shield could not be more easy to assemble; the instructions are VERY simple and easy to understand. They even have pictures to reference so you can't mess this up. It is quite obvious that there is protective film covering both sides of the shield that needs to be removed. How someone could not see this is just unreal. Neither of the films were difficult to remove, just takes a little bit of effort...so not hard at all. But, if they were too easy to get off I'm sure people would complain about that too. The film was designed to protect the shield during shipping so just get over it.I did not have any issues adjusting the headgear or keeping the shield in place with the two finger screws on the sides. Does not need to be cranked down to work properly, just snug them and it works great. Overall, I think this shield works great, was packaged well for shipping, and does what it says it will do.
