ABSTRACT:
A helmet including a strap securing device having a gripping section and/or a clip for engaging and holding a strap, for example a goggle strap, in place over the surface of the helmet is disclosed. The gripping section and clip may be utilized individually, or in combination, to engage and hold the strap. The gripping section preferably includes an outer surface which engages and secures the strap in place when utilized alone. The outer surface may be a textured surface and may include a plurality of raised nodules to enhance gripping. When utilized in combination with a clip, the strap may be sandwiched between the gripping section and the clip. The clip may, alternatively, be utilized alone to hold the strap in place. When utilized alone, the clip may be removably attached to the helmet to secure the strap between the clip and the outer shell of the helmet. Additionally, the clip may include a textured inner surface to enhance gripping, or may alternately include a textured outer surface for securing the strap over the outer surface of the clip when the clip is in a closed position.
