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.

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.

Good price for quality.Just know that you may have modify it to fit your face shield frame.It does not, for example, fit the common Sellstrom frame. I assume once I cut modify some holes or cut new ones, it will work. If you aren't handy with cutting thick, hard plastic, look for something else.Follow up:Using a very sharp matte knife and a piece of wood to cut against, I carefully extended the existing holes to fit the Sellstrom frame, and then removed the protective film. It works fine, and the optical quality is excellent. I would have given it five stars if I hadn't had to modify it.Tip: Keep the whole face shield assembly in a plastic bag to prevent dust and scratches from storage.

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

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

Fits normal adult size head gear for a face shield. Mine is made by FIBRE-METAL. My head gear looks like the HONEYWELL FIBRE-METAL ratchet type. Item 15W970Mfr. Model F300

Used for protection when sanding new drywall skimcoat. Seems to scratch when wiping with damp cloth. Recommend flushing with water and rack dry. Or you could pay more for better quality.

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.
