helmet visor

Transparent protective flap

A helmet visor is the transparent or tinted shield that protects the face, attached to motorcycle helmets, football helmets, and similar headgear.

It typically pivots up and down: He flipped up his visor to talk to the officer.

Medieval knights had visors too—the hinged face guard on a suit of armor.
