The full-face helmet system comprises a full-facemask that combines the strength of a facemask frame and a reinforcement layer to allow for improved visibility, safety and impact performance, while reducing weight. The full-facemask comprises a reinforcement layer and a facemask frame, the reinforcement layer may be coupled to the external surface or internal surface of a facemask frame. The reinforcement layer may match or substantially match one or more contours of the facemask frame, the reinforcement layer comprises at least one vent opening that is coincident with the player's mouth.

A helmet which performs good ventilation and which is capable of mitigating the uncomfortable feeling due to sound is provided. The shock absorbing liner includes front ventilation holes to communicatively connect the front openings to the inside of the shock absorbing liner, outside air paths disposed in a space on an outer side relative to an inner surface of the shock absorbing liner, and communicative holes to communicatively connect the inside of the shock absorbing liner to the outside air paths. The outside air paths include primary flow paths disposed to be connected to the rear opening and secondary flow paths. The communicative holes communicatively connects positions on an outer surface of the shock absorbing liner except positions of the primary flow paths, to the inside of the shock absorbing liner. The secondary flow paths are disposed to connect the communicative holes to the primary flow paths.

Helmets and methods for manufacturing a helmet are described. An example helmet includes a shell and a shock absorbing liner attached to the shell. The shock absorbing liner includes a cavity. The helmet a shock absorbing insert formed of a material different than the material of the shock absorbing liner. The cavity is configured to retain the shock absorbing insert.

Provided is an improved multi-layer safety helmet comprising: a lower buffer portion worn on the user's head; and an upper buffer portion coupled to an upper portion of the lower buffer portion, wherein an impact applied from the outside is firstly absorbed by the upper buffer portion and is secondly absorbed by the lower buffer portion.

Baseball caps to be worn on a person's head are provided. According to one embodiment, a baseball cap includes a dome configured to be placed on the wearer's head, wherein the dome includes one or more panels and one or more cooling channels. The baseball cap also includes a hub positioned at a top of the dome. The hub comprises a central cavity and one or more conduits in gaseous communication with the one or more cooling channels of the dome. A coolant output port is provided in gaseous communication with the central cavity of the hub. The coolant output port is configured to supply a coolant gas to the one or more cooling channels of the dome via the central cavity of the hub.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for a Horus flight helmet is for pilots to be used in general, transport and long-range aviation. The invention includes an impact resistant helmet; the invention has high noise reduction system and helps to hear the clear message even in high noise environment. The visor come in as MBU-20/P Oxygen Mask trim in different colors. By keeping in mind, the safety of the pilots we have used energy-absorbing, pressure molded, low density, expanded-polystyrene, had been increased in thickness, secure fixing of helmet on the head of the pilot is provided, comfortable wearing due to the helmet's smaller size and better alignment.

A micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) exhaust valve-based impact attenuating fluid filled cell for use in cushioning impact and decelerating of a wearer's body portion (e.g. head, shoulder, torso, etc.) after an impact. In combination with the use of accelerometers, pressure sensors, location and other electronics supply signals to a microcontroller, the controlled opening/closing of said exhaust valve (resulting in the expelling of said fluids with an optional combination with cell refill means) when certain parameters exceed a threshold. Individuals who engage in activities that carry a risk of injury to the head from impact in the normal course of the activity could, in combination with regular exams, benefit from a system that produces and updates a kinematic 3D model of the individual's head, including brain matter, cerebrospinal fluid paths, arterial and venous blood flow pathways, as well as the skull, supporting connective tissues and other biological structures in the head suitable for interaction with exogenous stimuli prepared from hypothetical or actual recorded impact events.

A chin strap assembly having a pad portion and a strap portion for a protective helmet. The strap portion of the chin strap assembly includes a first strap having first and second major sides and a terminal end and a second strap having first and second major sides and a terminal end. A socket is secured proximate the terminal end of the first strap. The socket includes a cavity therein. A stud is secured proximate the terminal end of the second strap in engagement with the first major side thereof. The stud is releasably secured in the cavity. A longitudinal plate having a first end and a second end is positioned on the second major side of the second strap. The stud is secured to the plate proximate the second end thereof with the first end of the plate extending away from terminal end of the second strap. A distance between the first and second ends of the plate is between 0.5 and 2.5 inches.
