Standardized to NF EN 166, the visors protect the eyes and face from liquid splashes. They cannot replace masks, but these devices can act as additional protection.

• Lightness: a lightweight protective visor promises excellent distribution of the load on the head. Thanks to this, you will enjoy great freedom of movement while minimizing feelings of discomfort and discomfort.
• The design material: this criterion is important when choosing your protective visor. For good reason, some materials for visors cause risks of allergy or irritation of the wearer's skin. To do this, make sure that your face shield or your headband is designed with non-chemical components.
• Quality: to benefit from a face shield of excellent optical quality, opting for a transparent and splash-resistant model is the best alternative.
