Replacement Face Shield, 8"x 15.5"x .040, Clear Polycarb, Model 15151

I'm basically reviewing this to try to counter some of the frankly confusing low reviews for this shield. First, unless you buy an enclosed reinforced face shield with a surrounding metal strap or plastic frame along with high density Polycarbonate material that, itself, won't turn into eye destroying fletchettes, you should expect labeling that strongly suggests that you wear eye protection along with the face shield. That does not make this a poor face shield! However please take a look at it. Is it made out of really strong material that won't hurt your eyes if it itself destrucively fails to absorb kinetic energy from a moving object? No. Does it fully enclose your eye area, preventing at least pebble sized debris from bouncing behind the shield and hitting your eyes? No. Does it prevent wafting mist from reaching your eyes? No. Is it ballistic rated or meets USA military specifications? No. It strictly meets Z87 + specification for a FACE shield. Plus UV protection. It has not been falsely advertised and is not designed specifically to protect your eyes. Follow the easy to see caution on these. Wear additional protection for your eyes or buy an enclosed face shield helmet! If you are welding, or want something to prevent a 2 by 4 thrown by a table saw from knocking your teeth out? Do you work on the Mythbusters set? Are you fighting zombies? Do you build potato guns and shoot yourself in the face with them? Going to start a fight at a punk bar? Buy more appropriate head gear! In my case, I wear these to protect the rest of my face and to keep my expensive impact resistant safety bifocals clean when I am doing light work where at worst I expect I would get a small scar on my face. (The bifocals themselves are expensive and mission critical because I can't work without them.) Five to ten dollars for that is ideal,especially when I am painting, soldering electrical work, SMALL moving debris tasks. I have a more expensive set of head gear for more dangerous work. If you do a range of dangerous tasks, you should have equipment to match. Clarity of the shield: please see photos. There are TWO (2) protective films on these. Compare the shield with both films on to the mounted one without the films. Note the printed page behind this. Conclusion: many people are failing to remove one or both pieces of of film from the shields. They are clearer than the original shield on my headgear, which arrived scuffed. Which is EXACTLY what the film is there to prevent! This is a functional essential replacement shield for me, the value for the money is high. It fully meets reasonable expectations. It has standard holes that fit a wide array of headgear, and can be easily nipped to fit far more. Such as my headgear with a non standard center clip. It gets five stars from me. Read other reviews, of course, and judge based on possible competency and completeness of their content. Edited to fix spelling, grammar, and to add missing information.

These are great replacement face shield covers. I have no complaints. You get much more face protection than you do from just wearing goggles.👍

I understand I might not be the typical buyer of this product, but it worked great for me all the same. I've been doing cosplay for years now and getting a sturdy helmet visor is always a struggle. It cut very easily, fit perfectly, and was super easy to tint. Would definitely recommend as a cosplay material.

Used for a cosplay Master Chief helmet shield. Quality was decent, it is thick, and functions as needed for my use. Easy to manipulate.

This is an excellent shield at an excellent price. (All reviews reporting that the shield is not transparent have simply not removed both contact sheets) I have had difficulty getting these on my headgear without either getting small cracks in the middle or having it spring free and pop forward at the sides. I've tried using my hair dryer and a heat gun and neither worked to get it to bend. This time, I found a good DIY way to shape it. I put a soup pot on its side in the oven and heated it to 310F. I put the polycarbonate shield on it in the oven for just a minute or two. I watched it soften and bend around the soup pot beautifully. I took it out, it cooled quickly, and it is now the perfect arc to fit on my visor and is absolutely perfectly clear. Seriously - I forget I have this on when I am working. I have heard that an empty paint can also works for this, but I used a big stock pot.

Eye and face protection for Pandemics, grinding, or working with corrosive materials.

I bought this to turn my G-Force track helmet (with an open face) into a usable helmet with a face shield. Less than $6 for a working clear shield to keep dust and rocks out of my face when dirtbiking with other guys, without a cost of buying a whole new motorcycle helmet. Certainly not the intended use, but it works great and saved me at least $200.

I paid $7.95 for this item but this thing is thin and comes as a flat sheet. When I put this on my face shield head gear the top side with the holes conformed to the curve of the head gear but the lower end flared out and remained relatively flat. I was expecting this product to be a smooth curved lens or visor. I can get the same quality of plastic lens from harbor freight for $4.50 but I did not get that because I thought that this visor would be better and I dont have to curve it, turns out I was wrong. I used a heat gun to curve the visor some what but the plastic is so thin that a small area of the lower side bubbled up with minimal application of heat. For 3 or more 4 more dollars you can get the SAS 5155 of 5145 rigid (and much thicker) poly carbonate visor which has the exact same hole placement as this product; in other words the SAS 5145 or 5155 will replace this thin piece of sorry plastic for the particular head gear you would have order this visor for.

Clear vision, good quality but needed to be modified since my old visor has a dome fastener at the ends and thus doesn't.

good product

The shield is sturdy and clear. It is suppose to be universal but the edge of the shield did not quite fit the frame of the headgear. I had to drill the shield hole larger in order to get this shield to fit my headgear. I have purchase a shield from Costco but found it not totally clear (slight blur). I am happy with the Amazon shield.

Should be a song …….. right. When you can see and protect your face, there is no hesitation. I change my visor every year.

Came promptly, fit the shield. No opportunity yet to test it but appears same as the original
