Optrel clearmaxx visor

[Ruffian]

Been looking into a full face shield.
Seen these and like the look of them as have an optrel e684 and fits nice.
Anyone had any experience with one?

Yes,
Very nice.
Light, comfy, great visibility.
They are fully compatible with all the optrel headgear as well which is handy if you want to hang upside-down.

Ideal, that's good enough for me. Found them for good prices (only slightly more than the honeywell) so will have to order one and see for myself. Cheers

The honeywell (and the 3m) both feel tougher / heavier duty than the optrel but I've never had any problems with the optrel.
If you like the feel/fit of the optrel welding helmet the visor is much the same.

Are you looking for standard or air-fed?
If air-fed maybe consider splashing out on an extra hose as its a lot easier to change the hose at the belt pack end if you're regularly swapping over.

I have nothing airbed so would just be the basic cheapo visor. I couldn't see an actually 3m one yet the honeywell seems a larger (clumsy) size. For the extra £10 the optrel will cost I am swaying towards trying it

3m have several options...



Out of those and the honeywell the optrel is the lightest/least clunky.
Basically, if you like the fit/feel of the optrel welding mask you'll like the clearmaxx
