A sun hat having a bendable and shapeable brim is described. The bendable brim is characterized by a wire cable assembly secured in the brim of the hat along its perimeter. The wire cable assembly can comprise a loop of multi-strand metal cable enclosed in a slightly oversized flexible plastic sheath that is hermetically sealed at joining ends. The cable can be comprised of an annealed metal that permits it to be bent thousands of times without breaking.

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 guard is provided which has a fabric layer and a padding layer. The padding layer can be attached to the fabric layer. The head guard is stretchable between a relaxed configuration and an expanded configuration. The expanding configuration has a convex shape such that it can conform to a head of a wearer. The head guard can be worn by a wearer in combination with a helmet.

A balloon headdress having a structure sized and shaped to fit on a human head, the structure defining an inside, facing the head when worn, and an outside, opposed to the inside. 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 balloon retaining unit.

A head garment that can be inflated for use in resting or sleeping. The head garment includes a head covering, an opening, an inner layer and an outer layer. An interior space is formed in-between the inner layer and the outer layer. The head garment includes an elongated aperture sized to receive an inflatable insert. The inflatable insert includes a valve. The head garment also includes a second aperture sized to receive a stem of the valve. When the inflatable insert is in an inflated state, it substantially fills the entire interior space of the head garment.

A helmet (10) which has a plurality of substantially longitudinal members (20) arranged side-by-side, the longitudinal members (20) being in fluid communication with each other. It has a first inflated state in which the longitudinal members (20) are distributed to form a substantially concave shape, and a second compressed state in which the longitudinal members (20) lie flat and substantially coincident against each other. Each longitudinal member (20) is separated from neighbouring longitudinal members (20) by a tubular connecting member (30) in a lattice configuration. The helmet (10) may be made of HDPE or nylon.
