Consultants’ Comments
- “Adjustable for loupes and lights and the shield came down longer than my other shield – better protection.”
- “Very light-weight. It does not give me a headache no matter how long I wear it.”
- “Far superior to any other face shields we have tried.”
- “Very easy to adjust and maintains that desired position.”
- “I felt more protected because the shield covers the lower part of my face. Other brands I have tried stuck out and left my lower face exposed.”
- “Utilizing the extender, I wore my loupes and headlight underneath the shield easily.”
- “My vision was not distorted through the shield.”
- “It slid around some on my cap.”
- “Because it is so customizable, it took quite a bit of time to put together and there were quite a few parts.”

Clinical Tips
- Attaching the light to the outside is advantageous. The lighting from your headlight is crisper and stays aligned in your field of vision.
- You can use the frame to attach the facemask as an “ear-saver” and spare tension on your ears.
