PROTECTIVE PADDING AND PROTECTIVE PADDING SYSTEMS

摘要

The present invention provides pads (10) and padding systems for use in protective helmets, and particularly ballistic helmets. Generally, the pad includes a first, outer layer (20) which provides substantial impact resistance and a second, inner layer (30) which provides cushioning and comfort. The pad (10) does not require the use of a moisture-proof, non-perforated, encapsulating layer since both layers provide little resistance to fluid flow. The pad (10) may also include a cover made of moisture-wicking material.
