Chin protection

[Joe Newton]

Bit below the belt that one joe

 

Builder mate lost an eye on a building site

 

He has not been back since and is very very carefull now

 

I would wear glasses as well as a visor imo

 

 

Fair enough, it was meant as a joke.

 

If I offended the OP I'm sorry

 

I've got one decent eye and one that doesn't work so good. If I ever lost the bad one I'd barely notice. If I lost the good one I'd be buggered.

 

I don't use a visor. I climb a lot and find them a nuisance.

 

I use safe eye mesh goggles from Clarks. Best eye protection I've found, and worth a look for £15

They look interesting . Do they seal to the eyes. How much is vision reduced?

Yeah pretty well. I have them loose though. Vision is barely noticeable. Not great in the rain, but neither are visors or glasses.

The problem with mesh goggles, or any goggles is that they cut down peripheral vision, which is not good when you don't have a great deal anyway, hence the reason for wanting protection with a full mask.

 

No offence taken, by the way....got used to the one eye stuff a long time ago, hence the user name.

 

It is hard though to work in a very three dimensional business with only 2d vision...not hard for me, but my work mates suffer a lot. I once tried to get my friend to cut a small branch with a 6m pole lopper only to find that the branch I was looking at, wasn't even on the tree we were working on...it wasn't even in the same garden!

 

Hence the phrase, " you one eyed t**t.

 

Anyway, has anyone found a mesh visor with a chin guard yet?
