ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a face mask device and method for protecting the face and eyes of a wearer and providing clear vision. The device includes a face mask structure and eye protecting device capable of engaging a conventional racing goggle worn over the device. The device comprises a face mask structure which covers all or a portion of the face area, a transparent, shatter-resistent eye protecting means which provides full vision, protects the eyes from injury, and engages the outer goggle place thereon. In the preferred embodiment, the eye protecting means comprises an eye piece with a round, forward protruding central region which slidable engages the inside surface of the outer goggle. The slidably engaging feature enables the outer goggle to be quickly and easily located and removed from the eye piece with one hand. A holding means is also provided which holds the device around the wearer's head. Optional air holes and slots may be manufactured on various areas on the face mask structure for ventilation and comfort. The method for maintaining clear vision includes repeatedly removing the most outer goggles from the goggle engaging face mask when vision is impaired, thereby exposing a lower clean goggle.
