The value of a face shield.
I went out for lunch yesterday, around 2:00 as usual. It’s tough to get away from the store during the middle of the day - that’s when lots of people like to come in and shop. Anyway, I headed towards Home Depot to pick up some things, and tried to decide where to get lunch.
I finally thought about DiBella’s - a sub was SO appealing. I said to myself “Mm mm mm mm mm - tasty!” and just as I said “tasty” there was a loud SMACK as a honeybee hit my face shield. If the plastic hadn’t been there it would have hit square in my open mouth!
When I turned my head most of the carcass slid off in the wind, but there was still a smear that stayed there until I got to Home Depot and could wipe it off. I guess RainX works for bugs almost as well as rain!
I sell 1/2 and 3/4 helmets. I also have face shields that fit the 3/4s. People can buy whichever helmet they choose, but when they ask I always recommend a 3/4 with a face shield as the minimum to get (full faces are even better, if you can find one that fits you well.) That honeybee just drove home the point for me!
