The hat has a continuous lower rim, and a hollow dome extending from the lower rim to a central crown, the lower rim and dome collectively defining a forward portion, a rearward portion, and lateral portions of the hat. The helmet includes an outer impact-resistant shell, an inner foam liner, and a chin strap. The shell and the liner each have a continuous lower rim and a hollow dome extending from the lower rim to a central crown, the lower rim and dome collectively defining a forward portion, a rearward portion, and lateral portions of the helmet.

Abstract: An improved headgear includes an outer shell and an inner liner providing a head receiving cavity. A headband has a forward portion and lateral portions secured to the inner liner and a pair of rearwardly extending flexible members having interconnecting free end portions that allow the headband to be adjusted to many heads of different length. A fabric lining covers the headband forward and lateral portions and has slot openings through which the headband flexible members extend. An adjustable opening at the top of the fabric lining facilitates headgear vertical adjustment. A pair of side retention straps extend downwardly from the sides of the outer shell. A pair of rear retention straps mount to respective ones of the side retention straps and are adjustably secured to each other. The inner liner has channels that receive the side retention straps and allow them to drape down in close proximity to a wearer's temples and cheeks.
