I hate using normal face shields... they're uncomfortable and stuff usually winds up getting around them anyways. I just ordered one. Maybe I'll post a review on my website when it comes.

Fog, I can deal with. My current shield collects a static charge and collects dust. I haven't found a solution yet. Wow, that looks amazing. Fog, I can deal with.

Rain-X also makes an anti-fog application designed for windshields. Have any of you mouth breathers tried applying the anti-fog stuff divers use?

I wonder how well those things resist fogging up. Makes me want to get a cheap Jason Halloween mask and glue plastic lens to the eyeholes. What if you’re a mouthbreather like me?

The typical shields I use are just cumbersome and lend themselves to not being used. I've been retrofitting one of my old welding helmets with double clear shields to use in the same way (4x6 window) for comfort reasons (I have another one I use for welding).

I was cutting a whole heap of limestone tiles with a diamond wheel in an angle grinder recently, and this would have made everything a lot easier. As it was, with just the goggles and a respirator, the respirator was up over my nose, and the goggles couldn't sit over my eyes properly so even though they are pretty much full wraparound goggles, I still had a couple of bits of stone make it past them. Luckily, none of it made it into my eyes, but I had to work a lot more carefully, and slowly than I could have otherwise.

Ideas? Second question: How do you keep your glasses and shields from getting all beat up? A little damage from impacts during use is fine, but I can't seem to find a good way to keep my lenses from getting trashed in the toolbox. Lately, I've been keeping a pair of glasses on a peg over the workbench, and my portable pair occupies a padded pocket in the toolbag, which works but I'd prefer to use a box than a bag. Safety glasses are too bulky, and too curved, to fit the soft pockets you might use for corrective eyeglasses.

I want one. My worst eye injury (notice: not only) was from a piece of flying steel that bounced behind a pair of safety goggles. I had to dress my face like a pirate's for a week. That kicks ass.
