Abstract: A protective helmet adapted to receive and protect a head of a wearer comprises: an outer shell shaped to protect the head of the wearer, with the outer shell defining a bottom opening and an internal cavity for receiving the head of the wearer; a headband and a suspension positioned within the internal cavity of the outer shell; and a visor rotatable between a retracted position within the outer shell to an extended position in front of a face of the wearer, wherein the visor simultaneously rotates about a first pivot axis and a second pivot axis as it moves between the retracted position and the extended position. The visor can also be readily removed from the protective helmet and easily replaced should it become damaged.

Abstract: A headband for a protective helmet comprises a front portion configured to be secured to the protective helmet; a left rear portion that is selectively connected to the front portion; a right rear portion that is selectively connected to the front portion and is configured to overlap the left rear portion; and a means for securing a position of the left rear portion relative to the right rear portion, such as a ratchet mechanism. A headband kit includes multiple left rear portions, each of which can be selectively connected to the front portion, and multiple right rear portions, each of which can be selectively connected to the front portion.
