What it is
The BGS 3703 is a clear, untinted face shield made to EN 166, with optical class 1 — the best grade for distortion. The visor is 200 × 300 × 0.8 mm, on a one-size elastic headband of EVA foam, and the whole thing weighs 129 g. It can be worn over glasses. It was sold by Amazon when we checked in October 2026.
Clear visor or mesh?
A clear visor keeps out fine dust and grit that pass straight through mesh, and doesn’t darken your view. The downsides: it can mist up in cold or humid weather, and grass sap smears across it. A mesh face shield breathes and never fogs, but lets fine particles through — so many people wear safety glasses under a mesh visor.
Impact protection
EN 166 visors carry a letter for impact strength (F, B or A). The BGS listing doesn’t state one, so treat it as splash and debris cover and wear safety glasses underneath — for example the 3M SecureFit 400 — especially with a metal blade. What the markings mean is explained in our eye protection guide.
Who it’s for
Line-trimming users in dry, gritty conditions, and anyone who wears prescription glasses. For blade work, a forestry helmet set with visor and ear defenders is more stable. See the best safety gear for brush cutting.
