Each piece of your football uniform serves a valuable purpose. Eye and face protection is a big concern for most players. When you’re tired of getting poked in the eye, or having dirt, field debris and even bugs get stuck in your eye during an intense game, you know you’re ready to do something about it.

Finding the best football visor and eye shield isn’t too hard. Most styles will fit any helmet model easily. We selected visors that offer terrific anti-glare, scratch resistance and extreme impact protection. Additionally, good peripheral vision while wearing the eye shields is factored in to our choices.

Your main concern aside from safety should be about visibility. Be careful to weigh the “coolness” factor of how you’ll look wearing one against how your view of the game may change. For example, tinted and colored visors can either enhance your vision or distort it. It comes down to personal preference, but rest assured you will be completing your facial protection when you add a good visor and eye shield to your face mask.
