Like I posted below, you can make an improvised "face shield" out of plastic food wrap in about 15 seconds. No parts needed. Wrap it around your head at forehead level so it sticks to itself. Keep the bottom part loose, so you can freely breathe.

Readily available, cheap, disposable, lightweight, does not restrict visibility.

If you're working in the wind, you might need to weigh down the bottom part with something, but that's also trivial to do.



You're saying to literally wrap your face in plastic wrap and leave a little hole to breathe? I think someone's going to try this advice and suffocate.


>You're saying to literally wrap your face in plastic

Are you trolling or serious? I said forehead, not face. Obviously, do not wrap plastic foil around your face.


If it's around your forehead, how is it shielding you?


Plastic food wrap in my country comes in rolls 12-24" wide. This is more than enough to cover your forehead down past your lower jaw.


Or just put a two-gallon sandwich bag over your head.

Not recommended for infants and small children, of course...
