Abstract: A protective headgear device includes a helmet shell and a shield coupled to the helmet shell. The helmet shell defines an interior cavity for receiving a head and a first viewing port. The shield is coupled to the helmet shell by a plurality of arms such that the shield is moveable from a first position in which a second viewing port defined by the shield is at least partially aligned with the first viewing port to a second position that is different from the first position. At least a first arm and a second arm of the plurality of arms are detachable from the shield.
