Abstract: Winter sports goggles are secured by a two-sided headband made of a double layer of insulating fabric. Downward extensions of the fabric on the sides provide earcovers. The two sides of the headband overlap around the head and are adjustably connected by mating strips of hook and loop fasteners. An advertising logo may be affixed to one or both sides of the headband. The goggles are contoured with a foam edge contacting the face. Foam covered openings on the top and bottom edges of the goggles allow moisture to escape from behind the transparent windscreen which filters ultraviolet rays. A narrow band of elasticized material sewn between the fabric layers of the headband connect each end of the headband to the goggles through a slotted extension from the goggles on each side or through slotted hooks snapping into openings in the sides of the goggles.

Abstract: A mechanism for fastening a hook to a shock cord. The mechanism uses a cap to enclose and capture an end of the shock cord inside a cavity of the fastening mechanism. The fastening mechanism includes an aperture and side openings which each expose its inner cavity. A shock cord is fed through the aperture and at least one side opening, enlarged by doubling over and crimping and secured therein by an endcap. Alternatively, the slot and aperture are joined, which allows the shock cord to be easily pressed into the cavity.
