Helmet face shield, pls?
Hi All,
Has anyone found any kind of face shield that you can wear with a bicycle helmet on? TIA, Jose B. Ruivo |

Ruivo Respro Vizor is the only one I know Tony PS We think the helmet lobby overstress the dangers of cycling but just visited the Respro site to check they still made Vizors and the front page is just "Its too toxic out there" in big bold letters. Perhaps we should be wearing fully armoured hazchem suits for cycling these days |

Or this one here, too, since I already wear a headband http://www.wiggle.co.uk/?ProductID=5300004301 Thank you, Jose B. Ruivo |

Put "thermal face mask" in the Search box and you'll find it. Very nice for £2.99 PhilO |

Separate items which (confusingly) are shown in the same picture.
Facemask is just the bottom part of the photo. I got one to try, but it's not been cold enough to need it yet. PhilO |

That would explain why the look so similar. I had assumed they were attached. Thanks for clearing that up. -- Dave... |

Hi Philo,
On 7 Jan 2005 05:49:32 -0800, "PhilO" <goo18731@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: >Separate items which (confusingly) are shown in the same picture. >Facemask is just the bottom part of the photo. I got one to try, but Seems rather interesting for what I need! Since you have a facemask, can you tell me - or us - if the mask can be brought up higher in the face, closer to the eyes? (Right below the eyes is a particularly sensitive spot for someone who suffers from sinusitis and gets cold in that area ...) Thank you very much! Jose B. Ruivo |
