A helmet ( 12 ) includes a thermoelectric heat pump ( 14 ) mounted onto a rear surface of the helmet shell ( 12 ) for delivering temperature conditioned air to the interior of the helmet shell. A multi-layer structure ( 48 ) on the helmet shell interior distributes conditioned air across the scalp and directly onto the face. An optional scoop ( 38 ) directs ambient air to the heat pump ( 14 ). Another version locates the heat pump ( 68, 84 ) remotely and conditioned air is transmitted to the helmet apparatus ( 70, 78 ) via a flexible conduit ( 72, 85 ).
