  • HELMET WITH VENTILATION FOR FOG MANAGEMENT AND RESPIRATION
    Publication number: 20020104153
    Abstract: A helmet having ventilation for fog management and respiration. The helmet has a shell shaped to define a cavity for a wearer's head. A transparent shield is engaged with the shell. The shell and shield cooperate to fully enclose the wearer's head. The shield is moveable between an open and a closed position. The shield has a visor attached thereon and moveable therewith. The helmet has at least one first air inlet and first air outlet. The shell and the inner surface of the shield cooperate to define a first airflow path that enables air to enter through the first air inlet, flow across the inner surface of the shield to draw off moisture from inner surface of the shield to control fogging thereof, and exit through the first air outlet. The helmet also has at least one second air inlet and second air outlet.
