A cushioned helmet includes an outer shell formed of a generally rigid body construction defining a full-face construction to include a facial opening directed therethrough. The shell includes a cushion outer liner coextensive with an interior surface of the shell, with an inner lining spaced therefrom to define a pneumatic chamber therebetween coextensively directed throughout the interior surface of the shell. A pump bladder is arranged to permit selective pneumatic filling of the pneumatic chamber, with a pressure relief valve arranged to permit selective release of pressurized air relative to the pneumatic chamber and the helmet construction. A modification of the invention includes "U" shaped cushion inserts arranged for positioning within the shell in contiguous communcation with the inner lining to provide for enhanced protection and accommodate various sized configurations of individuals wearing the helmet.
