Dr. James Cherry, a UCLA infectious diseases expert, said supermarket cashiers and bus drivers who aren’t otherwise protected from the public by plexiglass barriers should actually be wearing face shields. Face shields are more effective than masks in protecting the wearer from viral infection, Cherry said.
Dr. Robert Kim-Farley, an epidemiologist and infectious diseases expert at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, said face shields would be helpful for those who come in contact with lots of people every day. “A face shield would be a very good approach that one could consider in settings where you’re going to be a cashier or something like this with lots of people coming by,” he said.
From the Los Angeles Times, "Why Face Shields May Be Better Coronavirus Protection Than Masks Alone," April 24, 2020
"These are fantastic. Comfortable and easily adjustable. I wear these while working out and instructing at the gym doing very high intensity workouts. I have had zero issue with breathing or with the shield falling off."

"Works great with microphone, easy to breath, can drink with it on. Did learn that you don’t have to put it on tight to get it to stay in place."
Customer
"The shield makes me feel safer knowing I am protected even when kiddos I'm working with aren't wearing a mask (some children who are young/ have special needs cannot tolerate masks). I do still wear a mask underneath, as this is recommended. It was easy to adjust and is very comfortable."
Customer
"This is a terrific face-shield it is very well made and high quality. I love that it is already put together when it arrives and I can breathe well with it on."
Customer
"The face shield is crystal clear. The straps are easy to adjust. It is not a necessarily flattering look, but will serve the purpose it is intended for."
Customer
"Very good quality item. Easy to wear. You forget you have it on. No distortion and very good value. A real 5 start item. I highly recommend it."
Customer
"Very impressed, after I removed both sides of the protective film, the full face shield was flawless! Not a single crease or dent.
The plastic is a higher quality grade and the adjustable velcro straps provided a custom fit for my head. Light weight, clear and comfortable, I definitely will re-order when necessary for added protection in public."
