Abstract: A football helmet is provided with a releasable face mask which is attached to the helmet by hook-and-pile fastening means. Abutment means prevent relative movement of the face mask in response to a force which impinges on the mask in a direction toward the wearer's face, but permit the mask to break away from the helmet in response to excessive forces in other directions, as when the mask is pulled forward or twisted sideways.

The tube is provided with thinner longitudinal strengthening ribs or flanges along opposite sides of the center portion in which the lights are housed, and has an integral hand loop at one end and an integral choker collar at the other.
