ABSTRACT:
An improved headgear conformable to the head of a wearer and capable of absorbing energy to thereby protect the wearer against blows to the head. The headgear is fabricated of foam coated with a pliable coating. The foam is shaped as a circumferential strip adapted to encompass the head of the wearer and includes a first portion extending across the wearer's forehead, a second portion extending across the back of the wearer's head and intermediate portions extending across the sides of the wearer's head. The intermediate portions couple the wide portion and narrow portion. A concave region is formed in the interior of the wide portion to create a dome-shaped air space between the back of the wearer's head and the interior of the headgear for the increased absorption of the force of a blow to the back of the head of a wearer. The headgear also includes ear protectors extending downwardly from the intermediate portions with each ear protector preferably including an enlarged opening overlaying a wearer's ear, and apertures formed in the headgear adjacent the opening for relieving air pressure when a blow is delivered to the ear portion.
