The shoulder strap makes a big difference.
The face protection is absolutely vital. I often see people strimming with no eye protection at all. They are mad. The machine can whip stones or bits of grass into your face at enormous speed. Having once cut my cheek only inches from my eye I always wear my helmet with visor.
It looks a bit extreme, but is much more comfortable than goggles and doesn't steam up. It can be flipped up when not actually strimming.
I'm not noted for my adherence to H&S stuff, but even I draw the line at losing an eye.
