  • Patent number: 12446647
    Abstract: A helmet includes a shell having a front portion, a crown portion, and a rear portion. The helmet additionally includes a chin strap having a first attachment body and a second attachment body defining a strap length therebetween, with the chin strap being configured to allow for selective adjustment of the strap length. The first attachment body and the second attachment body are each pivotally connected to the shell such that the chin strap is selectively pivotable relative to the shell between a stored position and a deployed position. The chin strap moves toward the front portion of the shell as the chin strap pivots from the deployed position toward the stored position. At least a portion of the chin strap is semi-rigid so as to be disposable in tension and compression without changing shape.
