I would second the recommendation of a full face unit versus a half-mask. Not only are they more comfortable, even in warmer weather, but they're also far more protection, especially for your eyes.... I like the 3M 6000 series ones.

They do make disposable shield protectors for the full face mask respirators that protect the visor from damage. I'd also point out that the "disposable" masks generally let about 40-60% unfiltered air through and none are vapor filters.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
