Hello Gang,
I have at least 7 MSA defender Face shields in my shop. The visors have been scuffed up from many years of use and need to be replaced. ( I got a shield for each of several machines plus I make my friends wear them when they watch me at work, especially when I would turn pens for them .) MSA discontinued this face shield in 2014 and they do not now offer a visor for it. I had inquired at a few vendors (Grainger, Fastenal, ULINE) and no one has a replacement visor to fit the headband. I purchase another brand to have something totally transparent to look through and was disappointed its visor would not fit the MSA.
I know Seneca Woodworking was selling face shields at the beginning of the pandemic shut down and I have not contacted them yet, but I recall their shield was not intended for debris impact, just transmission mitigation, though they may be a source of a stronger visor if asked.
So as my subject line asks, does anybody know if there are replacement polycarbonate visors for the MSA Defender face shield. Its product number is 697541.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions or advice.
Marc
