    Face Sheilds

    in Personal Protection Equipment

    Posted · Edited by Thatllbuffout

    Are the mesh face sheilds any good? They are a fine black mesh, easy to see through and wouldn't fog up. I'm considering it if they protect well. I could imagine anything overly dangerous getting through the tiny holes. Any opinions?

    ​I can comment on the metal mesh face shields as I wear one everyday. I am a production forger though. I wear the 'logger' shield on 4k and 5k drop hammers without exception. Excellent scale protection while also absorbing quite a bit of the radiant heat and allowing for much needed ventilation. They never get scratched and they never fog up. Easily cleaned with some compressed air and they can be bent to different contours that fit the user if needed. As a side note they also cut down on the intensity of the light from a 35lb billet glowing at forging temp.
