         2 . The face shield of  claim 1 , further comprising a pivot rigidly coupled to the frame and rigidly coupled to a coupling component of the hard-shelled safety headwear worn by the user, and wherein the pivot rotates the frame with respect to the head of the user. 
     
     
         3 . The face shield of  claim 1 , wherein the cover rotates vertically when the cover actuates between the covered position to the opened position. 
     
     
         4 . The face shield of  claim 1 , wherein the cover is slidable with respect to the frame. 
     
     
         5 . The face shield of  claim 4 , wherein the cover is slidably removed from the frame by sliding the cover upward with respect to the frame when the cover is in the covered positioned. 
     
     
         6 . The face shield of  claim 1 , wherein the frame encircles a periphery of the cover. 
     
     
         7 . The face shield of  claim 1 , further comprising a pivot rigidly coupled to the frame and rigidly coupled to a brim of the hard-shelled safety headwear worn by the user, and wherein the pivot rotates the frame with respect to the head of the user. 
     
     
         8 . The face shield of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a plurality of clips rigidly coupled to a brim of the hard-shelled safety headwear worn by the user; and   a pivot coupled to the plurality of clips, wherein the pivot rotates the frame with respect to the head of the user.   
     
     
         9 . The face shield of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a first pivot rigidly coupled to the frame and rigidly coupled to a first side of the hard-shelled safety headwear worn by the user; and   a second pivot rigidly coupled to the frame and rigidly coupled to a second side of the hard-shelled safety headwear opposite the first side, wherein the first pivot and the second pivot rotate the frame with respect to the hard-shelled safety headwear.   
     
     
         10 . The face shield of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of protrusions that extend from the frame, the plurality of protrusions configured to engage with a plurality of apertures defined by the cover. 
     
     
         11 . A headwear assembly comprising:
 a hard-shelled safety headwear configured to be worn on a head of a user;   a pivot coupled to the safety headwear; and   a deformable non-impact cover coupled to the pivot, the cover pivotable with respect to the head of the user between a covered position in which the cover is positioned in front of the face of the user and an opened position in which the cover is not positioned in front of the face of the user, wherein the cover pivots vertically when the cover is repositioned from the covered position to the opened position.   
     
     
         12 . The headwear assembly of  claim 11 , comprising a plurality of clips rigidly coupled to a brim of the hard-shelled safety headwear worn by the user, wherein the pivot is coupled to the plurality of clips. 
     
     
         13 . The headwear assembly of  claim 11 , comprising a frame rigidly coupled to the pivot and rigidly coupled to the frame, wherein the cover is slidably removed from the frame by sliding the cover upward with respect to the frame when the cover is in the covered positioned. 
     
     
         14 . The headwear assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the pivot is a first pivot rigidly coupled to a first side of the hard-shelled safety headwear worn by the user, the headwear assembly comprising a second pivot rigidly coupled to a second side of the hard-shelled safety headwear opposite the first side, wherein the first pivot and the second pivot rotate the cover with respect to the hard-shelled safety headwear. 
     
     
         15 . The headwear assembly of  claim 11 , further comprising a plurality of protrusions that extend from the frame, the plurality of protrusions configured to engage with a plurality of apertures defined by the cover. 
     
     
         16 . A non-impact face shield comprising:
 a non-impact cover;   a frame coupled to the cover, the frame rotatable with respect to a head of a user such that the cover actuates between a covered position in which the cover is positioned in front of the face of the user and an opened position in which the cover is not positioned in front of the face of the user;   a first coupling mechanism configured to couple the frame to a hard-shelled safety headwear worn on the head of the user; and   a second coupling mechanism configured to couple the frame to a stretchable band worn around the head of the user.   
     
     
         17 . The face shield of  claim 16 , wherein the first coupling mechanism is coupled to a first side of a hard-shelled safety headwear worn by the user and the second coupling mechanism is coupled to a second side of the hard-shelled safety headwear opposite the first side. 
     
     
         18 . The face shield of  claim 16 , wherein the frame is reversibly mechanically coupled to the cover. 
     
     
         19 . The face shield of  claim 16 , further comprising a plurality of protrusions that extend from the frame, the plurality of protrusions configured to engage with a plurality of apertures defined by the cover. 
     
     
         20 . The face shield of  claim 19 , wherein a first aperture of the plurality of apertures defines an arcuate path, wherein a first protrusion of the plurality of protrusions slides within the arcuate path when the cover actuates between the covered position and the opened position.
