ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a protective head covering to be worn mostly while skiing. In this particular sport many falls and or spills occur which can be quite hurtful to the head of a skier, especially to the back of the head where many injuries are sustained. The head covering consists of an inner head contacting portion having an elastic strap placed thereon which will retain an impact absorbing pad. The pad is made of an open cell material and is shaped in the form of a crescent to thereby extend over the head of a wearer from substantially the forehead to the lower margin of the cranium at the back of the head of a wearer. The impact absorbing pad has a predetermined thickness and also extends width-wise across the head to its sides. The inner head contacting portion and the outer crown portion are made of a unitary piece of a material and they have a mutual margin in the form of a fold at a lower edge of the head covering. The two portions could also be made of two different materials that are joined to each other at the lower edge of the head covering and will form a fold at that location.
