Vader Combo for Ultimate in Anti-Fog

Brass Knuckle’s proprietary coating and innovative design protect the face like no other

CLEVELAND—February 17, 2022—Foul, nasty, or painful debris. Spark. Liquid spray back. All can slow even the most seasoned employee and, worse, bring the threat of occupational injury. So, what protection do workers actually want on their faces when the situation hits the fan? Certainly not a standard goggle that leaves the rest of their face exposed. And certainly not a traditional face shield, with huge gaps that debris easily penetrates and that allow major neck exposure.

Introducing the Vader Combo

The answer is Brass Knuckle® Vader Combo, the goggle and face shield in one, featuring industry-leading BK-Anti-Fog for the best visibility available. Its integrated face shield offers 180-degree peripheral vision and full face coverage, while ultra-soft conditioned rubber forms a splash barrier. Because the face shield isn’t attached to a hard hat, it delivers unprecedented mobility and visibility instead — the shield goes wherever the wearer’s head goes.

Brass Knuckle has created a product primer to help industry veterans more accustomed to old-style face shields better understand the differences inherent in Vader Combo. We encourage readers to download the fact sheet and watch the BKTV video of it at work in real-world conditions.

Anti-Fog Protection That Exceeds Industry Standards

BK-Anti-Fog exceeds the industry’s most stringent anti-fog standard, which makes Vader Combo the first choice in face protection for construction, grinding, water and wastewater, Jan/san, or any application with spray back that can cause lens fog. In addition, the ANSI-rated, military-style splash goggle includes a durable anti-scratch treatment and carries a D3 rating for droplet and splash protection. Meanwhile, the built-in venting system helps reduce moisture buildup, keeping vision clear.

If a job exposes workers to any kind of wetness or debris flying at their faces, the Vader Combo brings the necessary protection. It guards against the sun, against impact, against splash — and even against the dangerous, temporarily impaired vision that fog can cause.
