Benchmark Abrasives Grinding Hood Face Shield – ANSI Z87+ Certified, Anti-Fog

Professional-grade protection for demanding jobs

From Benchmark Abrasives, this grinding hood face shield blends rugged construction with thoughtful ergonomics. It carries ANSI CSS Z87+, CSS 1 B CE, and CSA Z94.3 certifications, offering robust protection against debris and slag during intense grinding, cutting, and polishing tasks. The generous 12" x 8" viewing area delivers broad, unobstructed visibility while you work. A well-balanced design helps you stay aware of your surroundings without sacrificing comfort.

Key features include a 2 mm thick polycarbonate lens with a scratch-resistant coating for durability, and anti-fog technology designed to maintain a clear line of sight even in warm, busy workshops. The shield’s weight is kept to 1.2 lbs, helping minimize fatigue over long sessions, while the balanced silhouette supports comfortable wear when paired with hearing protection and respirators. This combination is especially beneficial in fast-paced environments where dexterity and visibility matter.

Designed for versatile protection

The headset-style suspension uses a four-point ratchet system, enabling quick and precise adjustments. The headband fits most users in the 6.5" to 8" circumference range and includes cushioned padding for comfort during extended use. The design aims to stay stable during aggressive tasks, even when you move around a busy workstation.

With a wide-angle field of view and full-coverage hood, the shield provides protection across a range of industrial applications. It’s built to meet or exceed several safety standards and is compatible with additional PPE as needed, without impeding performance. The lightweight construction and balanced weight distribution reduce neck strain during long sessions, making it a practical choice for extended wear.
