Items of headwear are disclosed. An item of headwear has a battery, and an information portal. The information portal includes an input device, a human interface device, and a content providing system. The content providing system has non-transitory computer memory with a program with instructions for receiving information from the input device, and relaying the information to the human interface device. The content providing system further includes a processor, an output device, and a networking device.

A balloon headdress, having a structure sized to fit a human head. Also, a plurality of engagement units is supported on the outside of the structure and a number of balloon retaining units, are engaged to the engagement units and adapted to receive, support and direct an inflated balloon to extend in a predetermined direction relative to each the balloon retaining unit. Each the balloon retaining unit includes a perimeter wall and a orthogonal septal wall, forming an upper cup and opposed lower cup, separated by the orthogonal septal wall, and wherein a vertical slot is defined in the perimeter wall and the orthogonal septal wall, whereby a tied balloon may be introduced, so that its knot is in the lower cup and a portion of balloon passes through the slot in the orthogonal septal wall and is supported in the upper cup.

A head covering to reduce the force from an external surface on the head of an individual. The head covering is formed from thin polymeric tubes that are inflated by blowing via lung exhalation. The head covering is light weight and can be folded into a small in volume such that it is easily carried in a shirt or pant pocket.

A headgear includes a head portion at least partly surrounding a head, an inflatable portion having an inflatable volume, a mouthpiece, at least one wind instrument, and an air tube defining a flow connection between the mouthpiece and the inflatable volume. A sound is producible by the at least one wind instrument in answer to air blown into the mouthpiece.

A helmet which has a plurality of substantially longitudinal members arranged side-by-side, the longitudinal members being in fluid communication with each other. It has a first inflated state in which the longitudinal members are distributed to form a substantially concave shape, and a second compressed state in which the longitudinal members lie flat and substantially coincident against each other. Each longitudinal member is separated from neighbouring longitudinal members by a tubular connecting member in a lattice configuration. The helmet may be made of HDPE or nylon.
