ABSTRACT:
A head, neck and chest protector, for example for a motor cyclist, comprising a rigid outer shell which comprises a head section formed wholly to enclose the head of the wearer and having a transparent part at the front thereof, a neck section rigidly connected to the head section and formed to surround the neck of the wearer and a chest section rigidly connected to the neck section and formed to extend over the upper chest of the wearer, and a helmet for fitting on the head of the wearer which is located within a cavity in the head section of the outer shell, the cavity being larger than the helmet so that the latter is movable therein and the helmet being suspended in the cavity by a plurality of elongate elements which are attached to the helmet at different locations over its outer surface and are connected to an inertia reel adapted normally to permit free movement of the helmet relative to the outer shell but being responsive to movement of the helmet at an acceleration above a predetermined value to bring into operation a shock absorber which shock damps movement of the helmet. The outer shell is externally generally of bullet-shape with a rounded nose.
