English term or phrase: face unit
Hi! I am translating the user manual for a respiratory protective device that uses different terms:

helmet / face shield / face unit / headpiece / hood /mask

I am having a bit of trouble in assigning the correct spanish translation to each, and I could some help.

I am posting this question a number of times, one for each of the mentioned terms.

Thanks in advance!
