A method of forming a plate for an article of footwear is disclosed. The method includes applying a first strand portion to a base layer including positioning adjacent segments of the first strand portion to form a first layer on the base layer. The adjacent segments of the first strand portion having a greater density across a width of the plate between a medial side and a lateral side at a forefoot region of the plate than at a midfoot region of the plate and at a heel region of the plate. The method also includes applying at least one of heat and pressure to the first strand portion and to the base layer to conform the first strand portion and the base layer to a predetermined shape.

A protective helmet (1), including a shell (2), a cap (3) attached in the shell (2), and a movable face shield (4) attached to the shell (2) by at least one assembly arrangement, which includes: a rod (40) connected to the shell (2) in an articulated manner about a first substantially transverse axis (51) and a second substantially transverse axis (52); and a rail (55) positioned on the shield (4) and having at least one guide surface (59) that operates with at least one element (56, 58a, 58b) to guide the movement of the face shield (4) between a lowered and raised position and along, but spaced from, the shell (2).

A protective headgear having a protective outer layer, an inner impact dispersing layer, an opening in the posterior of the helmet to allow hair to exit the protective helmet, and juxtaposed to the posterior opening, a flap that covers a portion of the opening and is selectively attachable to the inner impact attenuating layer.

A neck cover and a helmet are provided that improve quietness of a helmet interior and that do not cause inconvenience for a wearer. In order to eliminate a gap between an opening portion of a helmet and a neck periphery of a wearer, insert-through holes, which are for passage of a chin strap that is attached to an inner side of the helmet, are formed in a portion, which covers a front portion (throat) of a neck, of a neck cover that is attached to a peripheral edge of the opening portion.

A tactical helmet assembly has a helmet retention harness includes left and right straps that form a snapback adjustment assembly. The first strap has a first end with a helmet mounting feature mountable to a first lateral, interior side of a helmet. The first strap includes a second end having a first strap slot. The first strap presents snap stud(s) on a first surface. The snapback adjustment assembly includes a second strap having a first end inserted through the first strap slot of the first strap. the second strap includes a helmet mounting feature mountable to a second lateral, interior side of the helmet. The second strap includes a second end having a second strap slot through which the first end of the first strap is inserted. The second strap presents more than one eyelets longitudinally aligned to receive the snap stud(s) of the first strap.

The disclosed computer-implemented method may a strap adjustment mechanism having a first strap and a second strap positioned to at least partially overlap the first strap. The strap adjustment mechanism may also include a first strap adjuster, and a proximal portion of the first strap may be coupled to the first strap adjuster and the second strap is threaded through the first strap adjuster. In addition, the strap adjustment mechanism may include a second strap adjuster, and a proximal portion of the second strap is coupled to the second strap adjuster and the first strap is threaded through the second strap adjuster. Various other devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

Systems and methods of a safety helmet for protecting the human head against repetitive impacts, moderate impacts and severe impacts so as to significantly reduce the likelihood of both translational and rotational brain injury and concussions may be provided. The helmet may include an outer shell, an outer liner disposed within and coupled to the outer shell, and an inner liner disposed within and coupled in spaced opposition to the outer liner. A damper array may allow for omnidirectional movement of the inner liner relative to the outer liner and the outer shell.
