Abstract: The present application discloses a helmet retention system for securing a helmet to the head of a user. In certain versions, the helmet retention system comprises a rear portion connected the rear of the helmet, a chin portion configured to receive the chin of the user, a first side upper strap extending from the rear portion to the front of the helmet, a second side upper strap extending from the rear portion to the front of the helmet, a first side lower strap extending from the rear portion to the chin portion, a second side lower strap extending from the rear portion to the chin portion, and an adjustment device operably attached to the rear portion. The adjustment device is configured to selectively and simultaneously adjust the length of the first side upper strap and the second side upper strap between the rear portion and the front of the helmet and simultaneously adjust the length of the first side lower strap and the second side lower strap between the rear portion and the chin portion.

Abstract: A boltless retention system for a protective headgear includes a ballistic helmet portion having an inner surface. A first substrate is boltlessly secured to the inner surface of the ballistic helmet portion and the retention system is boltlessly secured to the first substrate. The retention system includes attachment members, straps, and a nape pad. The attachment members each include a second substrate and a loop. A portion of each strap of the retention system extends through a loop of an attachment member to an adjustable locking member disposed on the strap. The nape pad is secured to a portion of at least two of the straps between the adjustable locking member and the loop. The second substrate of the attachment members are boltlessly secured to the first substrate of the helmet.

Abstract: An accessory bar for an associated helmet includes a helmet face of the accessory bar contoured to mate with the associated helmet. An accessory attachment mechanism is secured to a surface of the helmet face of the accessory bar. The accessory attachment mechanism is capable of matingly attaching to the associated helmet. A first recess is defined in the helmet face of the accessory bar. The first recess is sized for accommodating the accessory attachment mechanism.

Abstract: A boltless retention system for a protective headgear includes a pad boltlessly secured within a cavity of the protective headgear. A strap is boltlessly secured within the cavity and between the pad and an inner surface of the headgear. The strap withstands a static pull strength between about 150 pounds and 300 pounds.
