Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a heat reflective shield having a plurality of spherical triangular panels each having aluminum foil on one side and a heat resistant fabric adhered to the other side, for use with a hard hat. The panels are stitched together along their long sides and along their bases with binding tape to define an equatorial stitched bound base border to form a highly reflective side of the shield directed upwardly toward the crown of the hard hat thus forming a reflective heat shield to direct the heat from the sun or other hot heat sources away from the skull of the wearer of the hard hat. A strip of double sided adhesive tape is provided, one side of which is adapted to be adhered to the outside of the top of the heat reflective skull cap and the other side of which is adapted to adhere to the inside of the crown of the hard hat.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a weather protective unitary contiguous substantially flat face and neck cover for use with hard head gear. The cover has an outer layer of non-stretchable waterproof highly reflective nylon having a liner of thermally insulated material. The cover has a top bridge portion above the face of the wearer which terminates in side flaps. Waterproof elastic piping is secured about the free edge of the cover to seat tightly about the portions of the hard hat with which it is in contact as well as to seat tightly about the face and neck of the wearer to shut out weather elements such as wind, snow, rain and the like from contact with the wearer over the area covered by the unitary face and neck cover. The side flaps extending off the top bridge portion have flap securing means to maintain the flaps connected at their free ends beneath the chin of the wearer.
