Description
A face shield mesh is a type of personal protective equipment (PPE) that uses a metal or plastic mesh screen to shield the face, especially the eyes, nose, and mouth, from flying debris, wood chips, and particles. Unlike clear plastic face shields, mesh face shields are designed to allow airflow while still offering impact protection.
