    Abstract: An electronic helmet is provided that includes a helmet body and an integrated electronic system disposed in the helmet body. In an exemplary embodiment, the electronic system provides the user with a number of convenient functions and is operable from a wireless remote control. The components of the electronic system are sufficiently small and rugged for use in the helmet, ensuring that the helmet is lightweight and durable. Moreover, the components are spaced about the helmet to provide even weight distribution to promote overall balance and safety. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the helmet body has a hard outer shell and a hard inner shell mounted to the outer shell such that a cavity is defined between the outer and the inner shells. The inner shell includes suitable material to provide the user effective RF shielding from the electronic system. For example, the inner shell can include nickel-plated carbon fiber to provide RF shielding.
