A protective component for a helmet includes a liner or shell that is coupleable with the helmet so that the liner or shell is positioned on an interior surface of the helmet. The liner or shell is made of a low-friction material and is coupled with the helmet so that the liner or shell is moveable relative to the helmet in response to a force being exerted on the helmet. A rear support member is removably coupled with the liner or shell and a tightening mechanism is attached to the rear support member. The tightening mechanism is configured to tension a tension member and thereby tighten the liner or shell, and the helmet, about the wearer's head.

It is common for the organizers of endurance sports to provide aid stations along the route where participants may receive water to prevent dehydration. To reduce waste at these events, organizers encourage ‘cupless’ races that requiring participants to carry their own vessels. The present invention comprises a hat with a visor, such as a baseball style cap, with a collapsible drinking vessel integrated into the visor. During the course of the race, a runner may encounter a water stop and require a vessel to contain the liquid for immediate consumption. At such time the runner can simply remove their hat and configure the vessel to the open position to receive the liquid. Post-consumption the vessel is configured back to the closed position and becomes seamlessly integrated into the visor with no negative effects upon the runner.
