tearoff

Perforated paper strip

A tearoff is a strip or section designed to be detached along a perforated line: Fill out the tearoff and mail it in.

Tearoff pads have sheets meant to be removed one at a time.

In cycling, tearoffs are transparent film layers on goggles that riders peel away when mud obscures their vision.
