Visor thickness

I’ve printed enough headbands for 60 shields but struggling to find visor material. 

what thickness should I be looking for, I can get A4 binder covers but they are only 175 microns - is that thick enough?

Ask locally. We're distributing frames with 10mil sheets for the front, but the local hospitals want the shield up top. It varies by location.

10mil sheets?  As in 1cm. 

That seems very thick and I would have thought they wouldn’t bend.

I believe, 10mil in Imperial measurements is 0.01 inches, which is about 0.25mm in metric measurements.
