Les viseurs, malgré une surface transparente aussi grande que possible, diminuent le champ, et l'acuité visuelle en raison de la formation de buée sur la face interne. Cette buée pourra être réduite par une pellicule gélatinée et par un balayage du viseur par l'air frais inspiré. Le couvre-face devra être imperméable aux agents chimiques et bien s’adapter au visage. 1, record 2, French, - viseur
