Grainger has several.

Me too. I am not a big HF fan but face shields and some expendables
are where HF fits into my hobby funding. Rubber gloves have a very
short life when I pull them out of the box and I don't expect a face
shield to last forever. It just needs to be sturdy enough to stop
that heavy chunk of Oak that flew out of my lathe a few years ago.
And the HF shield did just fine.

I used to use more expensive face shields (I think they might have been
Johnson brand, but I'm not sure). I quit buying them and just started
buying the HF shields because they are just as good, and a lot cheaper. Any
brand of that kind of shield wears out, and you just have to replace the
shield - or in the case of the HF unit - the whole thing. I don't think
you'd be much happier with an upgraded shield.

I'm in that camp. I treat face shields like rubber gloves: disposable.
When they get too scratched up, they go in the recycling bin and I pick
up a new one at HF for less than the cost of a replacement shield insert
for the expensive models.
The will all get scratched up at some point. The HF ones seems to be
much lighter, too. I have a couple that get rotated between certain tool
stations and weed-eating.
