Abstract
Abstract Helmet for head and face protection and the use of such a helmet in varied climatic conditions. In order to yield a helmet which is light in weight as well as user-adaptable to various climatic conditions, it is suggested that the helmet consists of a moulded impact-absorbing shell fitted with a structure (3a-c, 5) for an active ventilation, adjustable lining cushions (11) and a positioning and retaining webbing (14,16) laced through the shell. For cold-weather use the helmet is reversed front-to-back, whereby ventilation is repressed and the addition of a face and jaw protector (12) is made possible.
