chin guard

Lower jaw armor

A chin guard is a protective covering for the chin, typically part of a helmet or attached to sporting equipment.

In hockey, football, and motorcycle helmets, the chin guard shields the jaw from impact.

Violin and viola chin rests are sometimes called chin guards.

The helmet's chin guard took the brunt of the fall.
