I wear glasses on my face, when reading. I would wear a nose protector on my face if I needed one.
Again, neither are headwear. If they were, they would require state association approval. They do not.

I was just trying to follow your logic: in your first post you seemed to imply that anything worn on the head was headwear. Now you're denying that.
Of course glasses and a nose protector aren't headwear, because they're equipment and not apparel. Just like the head guard in the OP, which is thus not subject to the headwear provisions. Don't see how you could consistently rule it otherwise.
In general, the key to interpreting 3-5 is distinguishing
equipment (guards, protectors, glasses, etc.) from
apparel (clothing, hats, scarves, headbands, wristbands, etc.). The rules treat these differently.
