I ordered the face shield to go with the head bands since I liked the look of the gear and the manufacturer had some good reviews. BIG MISTAKE. They sent me replacement face shields (clear plastic part only) now i have a replacement headband, a replacement clear part (lens?) and no frame to mount it in. On top of that, when they sent my confirming email for my order, THEY INCLUDED ALL OF MY CREDIT CARD INFORMATION IN CLEAR TEXT. This is not only illegal since the email constitutes a reciept, it is just plain STUPID. I was forced to cancel the card, incurring all the associated problems, and I still don't have anything useful. At this point I'm waiting for them to resolve this, but I cannot recommend Highperformancecleaner.com as a vendor for anything. follow up comment.

Called High Performance Cleaner when my 2 HEADBANDS arrived. The actual face shield that goes on the head band is an additional $18.85. They were quite willing to let me return them and were very interested in making me happy since I pointed out that the photo on their web site showed the entire unit with face shield even though the part number was for head band only. DO NOT BE MISLEAD BY PHOTO. I'm satisfied that the confusion was unintentional, but Caveat Emptor!! THIS IS HEADBAND ONLY!! Called High Performance Cleaner when my 2 HEADBANDS arrived.

She's rather small and many protection devices, headphones etc don't fit her well. Nice to able to try it before buying addons The piece comes turned down to it's smallest size and actually fits my 28 pound 4 year old well! It will also dialup to fit me on the opposite end of the spectrum (XXXL hat) Perhaps useful for that inquisitive child or grandchild wanting to watch? Yep It’s just the headpiece…(JUST got it)

About three years ago I had a compound miter saw blow apart when I was cuting some 2x4's. After that I wanted to wear a motorcycle helmet but I settled for a shield + safety glasses.

I haven't seen these at any of the big box stores. Do you guys wear additional eye protection with your face shield? I bought one of the AO Safety shields at Lowes a few weeks back and just took a look at the packaging, which says to always wear glasses or goggles with it. Well, that’s a bit disappointing.

The website photo is very misleading. Nice mask, but the $8.96 item is only the ratcheting head band, not the entire unit. The website photo is very misleading.

Nearly everything on it has replaceable and has separate pricing. It’s not clear from the web site but you have the price just for the replacement ratchet suspension not the whole face protector.

I can't tell what is the whole assembly and what is replacement parts. They all use the same picture. There’s a whole bunch of stuff on that page for UVEX.
