faceguards
Protective face barriers
Faceguards are protective shields worn over the face to prevent injury.
Athletes in sports like hockey, football, and lacrosse wear faceguards attached to helmets.
Industrial workers and medical personnel also use them: The welder lowered his faceguard before striking an arc.
A faceguard may be a cage, visor, or clear plastic shield depending on the application.
