Face gear for plowing/blowing without a cab?

[Fallon]

It was mighty nippy out plowing tonight & it feels like I got some wind burn. I may end up trading my L3200 in at some point down the road for something with a cab, but in the mean time I need to protect my face a bit better. Have a good set of boots, ski pants, coat, hat & gloves that keep the rest of me warm. What do you guys use to protect your face & head from the cold & snow? Ski goggles?

I put a golf cart rain cover on my Ventrac.:cool2:

I sometimes wear a full face shield on cold mornings. The shield was origonally used for eye protection during metal work.

I saw this referenced in a recent thread.
Uvex Bionic Face Shield, Matte Black Frame, Clear Lens - Walmart.com

Some use a full face snowmobile /motorcycle helmet. With a flip up visor it would probably work very good.

I have used a full face motorcycle helmet for plowing snow for years. I stay much warmer, Just have to crack the visor from time to time to regulate heat. Ed

If its really cold I will wear a ski mask type of stocking cap. Goggles will fog up if worn with a ski mask. The very few time I wore goggles it was still snowing hard.

Otherwise I wear a simple stocking cap under my hood on my down parka. I have an open station tractor and only plow snow with the rear blade - no blower.

Try a snowmobile helmet with a 12-volt face shield warmer to keep it from fogging up.

I installed the same one on my Kubota. A little 3/4" conduit, a bender and it was mounted in no time.

A good hooded parka and ski goggles work fine for me.
