A securing system for a helmet has a forehead band having two guiding installations and two neck band portions having in each case one counter guiding installation that corresponds to one of the two guiding installations of the forehead band. Each of the counter-guiding installations for repositioning the respective neck band portion in relation to the forehead band is disposed so as to be displaceable on the corresponding guiding installation.

A head-mounted display device includes a wearable assembly, at least one cushion and at least one adjustable fixing assembly. The wearable assembly is adapted to be worn on a head of a user. The at least one cushion is floatingly connected to the wearable assembly and contact the head of the user. The at least one adjustable fixing assembly includes a first positioning structure and a second positioning structure. The first positioning structure is connected to the wearable assembly, and the second positioning structure is connected to the at least one cushion. A structural interference generated between the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure positions the at least one cushion to the wearable assembly.

A head and neck restraining system is disclosed herein. The system includes a helmet, a neck brace structure, and a tether system. The neck brace structure includes a neck extension that is attached to shoulder extensions. The tether system includes at least one ring structure that is configured to attach to the helmet and a single tether material that slides through the at least one ring. The single tether material is guided along the neck extension and attached to the shoulder extensions. The at least one ring structure is positioned between the neck and shoulder extensions along the single tether material and splits the load on the helmet to the neck extension and the shoulder extension along to the single tether material created by exerted forces.

A chin strap with two axes of support for improved helmet retention. A first portion of the strap passes under the chin as per a conventional chin strap, and a second portion holds a cup on the point of the chin. The two portions of strap are disposed at approximately 55 degrees to each other, thus providing the two axes of support and consequently improved retainment of the helmet on the rider's head when impacted.

A head suspension includes a headband portion having a length and two transition arms. Each transition arm is coupled to the headband portion and extends away from the headband portion length at an angle greater than zero degrees. Each transition arm has a distal end and a pivot at the distal end. The pivot characterized by a pivot point and a rear support portion is pivotally connected to each pivot.

Strap buckles for headgear can be independently adjusted by single-handed operation while the headgear is worn. To tighten the straps, the wearer pulls a strap buckle toward the chin. The adjustment preferably involves a 1:1 length-adjustment ratio, such that the strap is shortened substantially by the amount the wearer pulls on the buckle.

In one aspect, a headgear for engaging and supporting protective headwear on a wearer's head includes a first side member positioned on a first side of the headgear, a second side member positioned on a second side of the headgear opposite the first side, a forehead strap coupled to the first and second side members and positioned on a front half of the headgear, and an occipital strap having an end coupled to one of the first side member and the second side member on the front half of the headgear and the occipital strap extending to a rear half of the headgear.

A nape pad for use with a helmet, the nape pad comprising: a base comprised of a rigid material and having an outer surface and an inner surface, a left side and a right side, and a top edge and a bottom edge, the outer surface being generally convex from the left side to the right side and having an upper portion proximate the top edge and a lower portion proximate the bottom edge, the upper portion being generally smooth and configured to extend into and slide along an inner surface of the helmet, the inner surface of the base being generally concave from the left side to the right side; a fastener coupled to the lower portion of the base and configured to releasably couple to a retention system of the helmet; and at least one compressible comfort pad coupled to the inner surface of the base.

The disclosure provides a ballistic helmet that includes a helmet shell and a harness connected to the helmet shell. The helmet shell includes a front portion and a rear portion. The harness includes a nape pad, a tensioner disposed on the nape pad, more than one securement strap, and a tension cable. The more than one securement strap is connected to the nape pad and is configured to fasten to the rear portion of the helmet shell. The tension cable is selectively adjustable by the tensioner and is configured to fasten to the front portion of the helmet shell.

A chin strap with two axes of support for improved helmet retention. A first portion of the strap passes under the chin as per a conventional chin strap, and a second portion holds a cup on the point of the chin. The two portions of strap are disposed at approximately 55 degrees to each other, thus providing the two axes of support and consequently improved retainment of the helmet on the rider's head when impacted.
