Headgear for rugby and/or soccer, comprising: an inner layer (1) configured to accommodate a wearer's head; an outer layer (2) covering at least a part of the inner layer; a padding layer (3) between the inner and outer layers, configured to absorb and/or redirect energy of an impact between the headgear and an object; and a sliding interface (4) between the inner layer and the outer layer at which the inner layer and the outer layer are configured to slide relative to each other in response to an impact between the headgear and an object.

A bicycle helmet adapted to be used with eyewear includes an impact-absorbing body, a resilient wiper, and an alignment feature. The impact-absorbing body has a convex exterior surface and a concave interior surface adapted to be positioned on a user's head. The impact-absorbing body further includes an aperture formed in the exterior surface and dimensioned to permit insertion of a portion of the eyewear into the aperture along an insertion axis. The resilient wiper is positioned at least partially in the aperture and arranged to engage the portion of the eyewear upon insertion into the aperture. The alignment feature defines at least a portion of the aperture and is oriented to guide the portion of the eyewear toward the resilient wiper.

A force absorbing helmet has an exterior shell and an interior shell, the interior shell further has an interior lumen comprising a viscous liquid and a plurality of hard springs. A plurality of micro-hinges are located on the exterior surface of the exterior shell to deflect the portions of the exterior shell due to a blunt force exerted thereon.

A helmet for protecting the head of a user may include at least one liner comprising an inner surface and a lower edge surrounding the inner surface at a helmet opening configured to receive a head of a helmet wearer. At least two coupling points may be located on the inner surface proximal to the lower edge. At least one flexible forehead strap may follow the lower edge of the energy management layer and may be inwardly offset from the inner surface. At least two prongs may be coupled to, and slidably extend between, the flexible forehead strap and the at least two coupling points, respectively. A continuous gap between the inner surface and the flexible forehead strap may be provided by an offset created by the at least two prongs, the at least two prongs flexibly maintaining the offset.

A helmet mount system for attaching a device to a helmet comprises a threaded interface assembly having an outer portion and a threaded insert received within a cavity formed in the outer portion. The outer portion has an inward facing surface configured to receive an adhesive layer for coupling the inward facing surface to a surface of the helmet. In a further aspect, a ballistic helmet having the helmet mount system herein is provided, wherein the helmet mount system does not penetrate a ballistic layer of the ballistic shell.

Protective clothing and/or equipment may comprise a modular helmet assembly which comprises a plurality of impact mitigation modules positioned between an outer layer and an interior layer of the helmet, optionally with a plurality of perforations or openings in an outer shell of the helmet. The plurality of impact mitigation assemblies may comprise an impact absorbing array of impact mitigation structures having at least one filament and a lateral support wall or connecting element. When force is applied to the exterior surface, the structures of the impact absorbing materials deform in a desired and controlled manner, reducing the force received by the interior layer.

A helmet sizing assembly for adjusting the size of a helmet includes a plurality of helmet liners that each has a dome shape to conform to an inside of a helmet. The plurality of helmet liners has a sequentially increasing size ranging between a minimum size and a maximum size. In this way a selected number of the plurality of helmet liners can be stacked inside each other to accommodate a variety of head sizes. Each of the helmet liners is comprised of a resiliently compressible material to facilitate the user's head to be protected from impact energy when the user wears the helmet.
