Abstract: A face shield is flexible and includes two side wings that are connected to a main body by living hinges and a face-engaging element that spaces the body away from the face of a wearer. A flexible band attaches the shield to the wearer. The face shield body is opaque to the sun and one form of the shield includes cutouts which are covered with sunglasses-type material. The body is preferably cardboard or other such material so the shield can be folded and bent for storage or to customize it for the particular wearer. The shield can be discarded after use if desired.
