OVERVIEW

Reliable Face Protection with MSA V-Gard Visors

The MSA 10001171 V-Gard Clear Polycarbonate Visor is a staple in industrial personal protective equipment, designed to provide workers with reliable defense against flying debris, particles, and impact hazards. Manufactured by MSA Safety, a global leader in safety solutions, this visor is engineered to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty environments such as construction sites, metal fabrication shops, and manufacturing plants. Its clear design ensures that visibility is never compromised, allowing users to perform intricate tasks with precision while remaining protected.

Superior Material and Durability

Constructed from high-quality polycarbonate, this visor offers significant advantages over traditional acetate shields. Polycarbonate is renowned for its exceptional impact resistance, making it the material of choice for applications where flying objects or sparks are a concern. With a thickness of 0.040 inches, the visor provides a sturdy barrier that meets strict safety standards, including ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2010 and CSA Z94.3. Despite its toughness, the material remains lightweight, reducing neck strain during prolonged use and ensuring all-day comfort for the wearer.

Seamless Integration and Versatility

One of the key benefits of the MSA 10001171 is its compatibility with the broader V-Gard ecosystem. It is designed to fit perfectly with MSA V-Gard Frames and Headgear, allowing for a secure and adjustable fit on most MSA hard hats. This modular approach means that safety managers can easily replace worn visors without discarding the entire headgear assembly, providing a cost-effective solution for team safety. The 8-inch by 17-inch dimensions offer generous coverage, protecting not just the eyes but the entire face from frontal hazards.

Essential for Industrial Safety

Whether you are grinding metal, cutting wood, or working in general facility maintenance, facial protection is non-negotiable. This clear visor serves as a primary line of defense, ideally worn in conjunction with primary eye protection like safety glasses or goggles. Its flat nitrometer design makes it easy to stack, store, and transport, ensuring that replacement stock takes up minimal space in your tool crib or supply cabinet. Trust MSA to deliver the quality and compliance your workforce depends on.

FAQ

No, this product is the replacement visor only (SKU 10001171). The V-Gard frame and headgear or hard hat attachment must be purchased separately.

No, this is a clear polycarbonate visor designed for impact protection (grinding, chipping). It does not provide protection against UV/IR radiation generated by welding arcs. You must use a proper shaded welding helmet for welding.

This visor is designed to fit MSA V-Gard Frames. The frames themselves are compatible with most MSA hard hats and many standard slotted hard hats, but compatibility with other brands depends on the specific frame used.

Polycarbonate is naturally impact-resistant but can be susceptible to scratching. This specific model is a standard uncoated visor. For abrasive environments, careful handling and cleaning with mild soap and water are recommended to prolong its life.

The MSA 10001171 meets ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2010 and CSA Z94.3 standards for high-impact eye and face protection.

While it provides a physical barrier, polycarbonate is primarily for impact. For heavy chemical splash hazards, an acetate visor is often recommended, and indirect-vent goggles should always be worn underneath any face shield.

The visor features slots that align with the cam-locks or attachment points on MSA V-Gard frames. Simply align the holes and secure the frame's locking mechanism to hold the visor in place.
