288269 - Miller Industrial Clear Face Shield with Ratchet Headgear

Industrial-Grade Optical Clarity and Protection

The Miller Electric Clear Face Shield (SKU: 288269) is an industrial safety solution engineered for professionals requiring superior optical performance and impact protection. At the core of this unit is Miller's High-Definition View (HDV) technology. Unlike standard molded visors that can introduce refractive errors and visual distortion, HDV technology provides a sharp, detailed view of the workpiece from any angle. This optical precision is critical in industrial environments where visual accuracy dictates the quality of the finish, particularly during grinding, chipping, and wire brushing operations.

Constructed from high-grade polycarbonate, the lens offers robust impact resistance, fully compliant with ANSI Z87.1+ and CSA Z94.3 standards. This material choice ensures durability against high-velocity flying debris while simultaneously filtering out 99.9% of harmful UVA, UVB, and UVC radiation. The lens dimensions—8.4 inches in height by 8.6 inches in width—provide comprehensive facial coverage without restricting peripheral vision. The assembly includes a depth profile of approximately 0.8 inches, contributing to its structural rigidity and deflection capabilities.

Ergonomics play a pivotal role in the design of the 288269. The entire assembly, including the lens and headgear, weighs a mere 4.4 ounces. This ultra-lightweight profile is achieved without compromising structural integrity, significantly reducing the biomechanical load on the user's neck and shoulders during prolonged shifts. The integrated ratchet headgear system allows for precise sizing adjustments, while the slide height adjustment mechanism enables users to position the shield for optimal balance and clearance over other PPE, such as respirators or eyewear.

Maintenance and longevity are addressed through a modular design. The system supports a range of replaceable lenses, including anti-fog and shaded variants (sold separately), ensuring the headgear remains a long-term asset in the safety inventory. The unit comes complete with a front cushion sweatband and a rear comfort cushion, enhancing stability and moisture management.
