Is it safe to attend calls and listen to music via the hands-free system while on the road and during driving?
Steelbird IGN-1 HF static face shield is not meant to be worn while riding. We suggest the rider should wear a helmet while driving. It is basically useful for Cashiers, Call centers, and all those people who have to use their phone every other minute so that they don’t have to keep touching their phones. The main motive to launch IGN-1 HF Static Face shield was to stop the spread of Coronavirus.
Can we remove the hands-free system if not required?
Not Entirely but yes partially we can. Steelbird Face Shields have been designed according to the need and requirements of the end-users. We have launched 5 different types of face shields that are equipped with a variety of designs, features, sizes, and usage i.e. USE & THROW, STATIC FACE SHIELDS, and FACE SHIELDS WITH SOPHISTICATED FLIP-UP FUNCTION, etc and we have also launched face shields for women, children and turban wearing people.
Does the face shield add abnormal weight to our head?
No, one of the best things about this Steelbird Face shield is that it is very lightweight and doesn’t add weight to your head. Its Anti-Scratch coated, UV printed and Unbreakable Polycarbonate shields are very light weighted.
Do you plan to introduce a Bluetooth variant of the face shield?
There are many Bluetooth products available in the market. You can connect these Bluetooth devices to this Face shield to relish its feature.
We assume that Steelbird IGN-1 HF Static Face Shield is completely manufactured in India. Is it true?
Yes, it is 100% manufactured in India. With our manufacturer Plant in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh we launched face shields and currently produce 15,000 units daily and have plans to expand this to over 50,000 units per day by the end of September 2020. Our range currently includes masks for the general public, kids, women and special masks for Doctors that come with an anti-fog coating as ICU temperatures are cold and require this.
Do you intend to export the shields outside India?
Yes, we are trying to export the Steelbird Face shield all across the world.
