I've used this full-face shield for over a year. It's my go-to shield and
I just bought two more. Amazon is showing it as $22.82. Even if you have
to buy several to get free shipping, it's worth it!

I haven't had the shield fog up on me (a big problem with safety goggles),
but have had it get a little dusty. A quick wipe with a towel fixes that.
It works with my Dust-B-Gone dust mask but not with my earmuff style
hearing protection.

Please note that this shield is not rated for high impact.

That's probably the reason they have "Must be worn with safety eyewear
or goggles" in the description.

Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark:

I almost lost an eye because of a bar clamp. My safety glasses did their job.

I was dry fitting a railing while building my deck. I clamped the railing
to a post with a 36" bar clamp, stupidly pointing the bar end out into the
yard. I stepped back about 10, 15' to see how the railing looked and decided to
make an adjustment. As I walked back towards the deck my eyes were focused
on the railing. About 3' from the railing my head snapped back as I walked
straight into the 3/4" x 1/4" end of the steel bar. The end of the bar hit
square in the middle of the left lens of my safety glasses, slid upwards
and ripped a 3" long gash in my forehead starting right above the eyebrow.

I hit the bar with enough force to crack the lens of the glasses. I have no
doubt that I would have pushed my eyeball into my skull if I hadn't have been
wearing them. I felt myself going into shock while the blood ran down my face.
The shock was more from fear of what could have happened vs. the actual blow
to my head. I was literally shaking as I thought about the outcome had I not
been wearing those safety glasses.

These dovetail nicely with your personal experience:
