Abstract
An Anti-fouling Faceshield is disclosed. The faceshield attaches to a conventional motorcycle helmet. The faceshield is particularly suited to competitive dirtbike racing where large amounts of mud are thrown onto riders' goggles in a short period of time. It is preferably spring-loaded so that the rider need simply pull a release lever to cause the faceshield to flip up and away from the face opening of the helmet. The main faceshield further has an upper shield extending upwardly from it to protect the pivot point/hinge area of the mechanism from being fouled with mud and other foreign bodies.
