MSA V-Gard Visor - Welding, Shade 5, Polycarbonate (PC), Molded, 8 " X 17 " X 0.098 ", Nitrometer, Gear For Cutting & Brazing, Impact-Rated, Replaceable Eye Protection For Hard Hat

When it comes to personal protective equipment (PPE), the MSA V-Gard Visor is a reliable option for those in need of eye protection while welding, cutting or brazing. The shade 5 lens, made of polycarbonate, effectively blocks out harmful UV and infrared radiation while still allowing for clear vision of the work area. The visor is molded to ensure a secure and comfortable fit, and the impact rating provides additional peace of mind in hazardous working conditions. One of the standout features of this visor is its replaceable lens. This not only allows for a more cost-effective option for frequent users, but also ensures that the visor remains in top condition for maximum protection. The visor also easily attaches to an MSA hard hat, making it a convenient addition to an existing PPE set. While the 8" X 17" X 0.098" size fits most users comfortably, some may find that it obstructs their view or adds bulk to their headgear. Additionally, the weight of the visor may cause strain on the neck after extended use. Overall, the MSA V-Gard Visor is a reliable and customizable option for those in need of durable and effective eye protection.
