A shatter-resistant face shield:

A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield can provide protection for your entire face in the event of a crash. Goggles can protect your eyes, but not the rest of your face. A face shield also provides routine protection from dirt, dust, insects, rain, and pebbles.

• Can protect a rider's face in a crash.
• Is only useful in protecting riders from dirt.
• Does not offer as much protection as goggles.
• Should not be used with a helmet.
