Face Shields, Visors and Facewear
Protective components and comfort accessories for work
Compare face-shield components, visors and work facewear in one range. The category includes protective equipment as well as thermal and cooling accessories, which serve different purposes.
Match a protective visor to the task’s hazards, required markings and compatible carrier. Check whether the listing is a complete assembly or a replacement part, and select any additional eye, head or hearing protection needed.
Portwest CS20 Fleece Balaclava adds a soft layer around the head and neck for cold-weather work. Its thin, stretchable polyester fleece makes it practical when a bulky hat would be inconvenient, and the anti-pill finish helps maintain the fabric surface through repeated use. This listing offers black and navy in one size. Portwest describes CS20 as suitable for wearing under a hard hat, but check the helmet manufacturer’s requirements and ensure the suspension still fits correctly. Choose it as a warmth accessory for outdoor maintenance, site work or chilly workplaces, rather than relying on it as specialist face protection. Follow the care label, keep the fabric dry between uses and replace it if damage affects the fit.
Portwest CS21 Neck Tube is a fleece accessory for adding warmth around the neck during cooler working days. The soft anti-pill fabric sits comfortably with a work jacket or fleece, and the adjustable drawcord helps the wearer achieve a close fit. Its simple tube shape is easy to include in a winter workwear kit. Choose black or navy in the one-size option listed on this page. Wear it with clothing appropriate to the weather and ensure the fit remains comfortable when turning the head. Keep the drawcord clear of moving equipment and follow any workplace rules for loose accessories. This is a warmth accessory, so select separate certified protection wherever the task requires respiratory or other specialist PPE.
Portwest CS24 Cooling Multiway Scarf is a black, one-size accessory made from polyester and elastane stretch fabric. Its flexible tube design can be arranged in different ways around the neck or head, allowing you to adapt the coverage to the task. Wear it dry as an accessory or soak it in water to activate the manufacturer’s cooling function. The four-way stretch fabric helps it adapt without a rigid fastening. Choose a configuration that stays comfortably in place and does not interfere with eyewear, head protection or other equipment. Cooling accessories support comfort during hot work, but still follow your workplace arrangements for drinking water, rest and shade. Follow the supplied activation and care instructions, and keep the scarf clear of moving machinery.
Portwest CV05 Cooling Neck Scarf is a lightweight blue accessory for wearing around the neck in warm working conditions. Its polyester Bird Eye Knit outer fabric is combined with PVA padding, and soaking it in water activates the cooling function. This listing offers the blue colour in one size, making it straightforward to add to a hot-weather workwear kit. Use the scarf according to the manufacturer’s activation instructions and check that it stays secure without interfering with other equipment. The cooling effect supports wearer comfort; it should be used alongside your workplace’s arrangements for drinking water, rest and shade. Keep loose fabric clear of moving machinery, follow the care label and allow the scarf to dry properly before storing it between uses.
Portwest PF40 PC Premium Visor is a clear polycarbonate face-shield component for use with a compatible support system. The transparent visor provides a broad view of the task while covering the face. It is a replacement or system component, so the visor and its carrier need to be selected together. Before ordering, confirm the exact Portwest headgear or carrier model and the protective markings required for the work. Do not assume that every helmet or visor holder is compatible. Fit the visor according to the supplied instructions and check its position before use. Inspect for scratches, cracks, loose fittings or contamination, and replace it when its condition affects visibility or the protection required for the task.
Portwest PW98 Forestry Combi Kit brings together a vented safety helmet, hearing protectors and a mesh face visor for suitable outdoor work. The helmet has a ratchet-adjusted headband and a six-point textile suspension, with a chin strap included. The combined arrangement keeps the components together while allowing their fit to be checked individually. The kit is listed in orange. Select it against the hazards, noise levels and other PPE required for the task, and follow the supplied assembly and adjustment instructions. A mesh visor does not provide a sealed barrier to liquids or fine particles. Inspect the shell, harness, visor and ear-muff seals before use, and replace components only with the approved parts specified for this kit.
Portwest CV16 Clear APET Foam Top Visors combine a transparent screen with a padded headband for comfortable forehead contact. The 250-micron APET screen has an anti-fog coating and measures 33cm across by 22cm high. Its clear design keeps the wearer’s view of the task and surrounding area open while placing a screen in front of the face. The pack contains 100 visors, making it convenient to allocate supplies across a team or keep replacement stock ready at a workplace issue point. CV16 is supplied in one size. Fit each visor according to the supplied instructions and check that it stays secure with a clear view. Inspect the screen and fittings before use, and keep unused visors protected from scratches and contamination.
Check the Complete Visor System
A visor, browguard, carrier and helmet must form a compatible combination where they are used together. Confirm the specific model numbers and supplied components before ordering. Clear and mesh visors have different capabilities; select against the actual impact, splash or other exposure.
Separate Protective Equipment from Comfort Accessories
A fleece balaclava, neck tube or cooling scarf provides a different function from a rated face shield. Check each item’s purpose and ensure it does not interfere with the fit of respiratory, head or hearing protection. Follow its care instructions.
