BICYCLE HELMET FIT SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention provides a helmet (20) comprising a main body (22) having a concave interior for receiving a user's head, a head strap (30) coupled to the body, and an adjustment mechanism (32) coupled to the head strap (30). The head strap (30) is positioned in a loop that spans at least 1.5 wraps around the interior of the main body (22). Preferably, the head strap (30) is fully recessed into the concave interior (26) of the main body (22). The head strap (30) can include an occipital pad (36) and a flexible belt (e.g., two flexible belts (34)) secured to the occipital pad (36) and engaged with the adjustment mechanism (32). Preferably, at least a portion of the flexible belt is spaced rearward from the occipital pad (36). The helmet (20) can further include a belt guide (e.g., two side belt guides (46) and a front belt guide (44)) secured to the main body (22) and adapted to allow the head strap (30) to slide through the belt guide.
