Due to like wearing my eye-glasses when performing technical operations (i.e. extrication, forcible entry, cutting, etc.), I added Bourke Eyeshields to my Carins 1010 helmet (built-in eye-shield doesn't work with eye-glasses) roughly 2 years ago and other than allowing them to get banged and scratched up in the engine--I love my Bourke's! I will be replacing my currently scratched up ones with new ones soon!
Purchase through a 3rd party site but same seller. Great quality and looks great on my helmet!
Easy to install on my cairns 1044
My opinion is that these shields are only good for show. The provide minimal eye protection and they're only good for 5 to 10 good fires then u can't see through them at all due to heat and smoke damage. Also the price tag is way too high for what you get.
I am quite suprised they are fairly scratch resistant not 100 percent perfect but it goes on a helmet that sees 2800 degree heat I give this a 5 star as much as I set them on the engine and pull it across the diamond plate when I'm in a hurry they only get Minor scratches and they seem to be able to hold the heat well I stand by this product as a volenteer fire fighter
If you've been debating a new eyeshield, just buy this one.Provides quality protection for a low cost and looks good at the same time. I don't think I'll ever get away from my Bourke Eyeshield. It's out of the way at all times and ready to go whenever you need it quick. The only con that I can think of is that it doesn't provide adequate full face protection like a regular full shield does.
Easy to install
These things do not last. After a couple months the spring is weak and now the lenses hang down blocking my vision. Spend the extra money and get a good set of Bourkes.
Well built and easy to install
