Preserving my dashing good looks

[bogmonster]

I was on the lookout for a new faceshield and was looking at the Honeywell Bionic when I came across a Honeywell Turboshield. I have been really impressed with it. I can't compare with the Bionic as I have not tried one. The polycarbonate visor is much thicker and more rigid than the usual offerings. The fit is good and i like the curved visor as it offers good full face protection without being too bulky (the Bionic does look bulky in the photos). A low profile respirator will fit underneath.

Throwing it out there as another high quality offering suitable for us wood turners.

Downsides:

Only available from Arco in the UK as far as I can see.
Anti-fog visors are not stocked by Arco (I do have an anti-fog visor and it does work well).

Antifog can be done with some washing up liquid, a small dab wiped over the inside works a treat. I use it on my motorbike helmet.

Top tip. Spit also works well as any scuba diver will tell you, although a full visor is a lot of spit ...

Didn't there use to be a trick of rubbing glass with a raw potato to stop it steaming up?

Go to a motorbike dealers - you can buy aerosol anti misters for visors.

Looks a solid bit of kit. Thanks for the heads up - might consider one soon myself.

I also see this under the Uvex name (part of Honeywell) as Uvex Turboshield, but indeed not widely available...

Perhaps Axminster will start stocking it as they already sell Uvex.
