Best face shield?

It's time to replace my old cheapie clunky full face shield.

Looking for recommendations for a comfortable, durable shield.

Some I see have an anti-fog coating. Do these work? Mine tends to
fog (and then my eyeglasses fog) when I am working hard.

Needs to be compatible with hearing protection muffs and I'd like to
be able to replace the clear part when it gets scratched and dinged
up.

I'd appreciate suggestions and recommendations. Tell me your favorite
and what you like and don't like about it.

TIA,

Paul F.

I use Lee Valley's old one. Being Acrylic/plexiglas, it does scratch.
It does fog up when I use it while shredding compost outside at 0 to
10 degrees Celsius.

After being diagnosed with mild emphysema, I also bought the Triton
face-shield/respirator, but I haven't used it yet and I understand
Triton's Australian parent co. went bankrupt.

I've used one of these from Grainger.
