    Face Shield with Chin

    Guard and Side Guards

    Protect your face from low-level arc flashes when a full hood is not necessary.

    Green Lens—Shields with a green lens have a light tint that absorbs visible light and blocks glare. They let through 55% of visible light. While the green tint reduces glare, it also distorts colors, which may limit your ability to distinguish them.
    Bronze Lens/Gray Lens—Shields with a bronze or gray lens allow all wavelengths of visible light to pass through without distorting colors. They’re ideal for electrical workers who work with colored wires or electrical tape.
    PPE Category 2—These shields meet NFPA 70E standards for protection against electrical arc flashes for personal protective equipment (PPE) category 2.
    Chin Guard—Shields with a chin guard protect your face from below.
    Side Guards—Shields with side guards extend protection on the sides.
    ANSI/ISEA Z87.1—The shields meet ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 basic impact standards when worn with safety glasses or goggles.
    Arc-Rated PPE Category—Choose shields that meet the arc rated PPE category required by your workplace.
