  • Publication number: 20230404198
    Abstract: A helmet includes a helmet body and right and left cheek pads arranged inside the helmet body. The cheek pads each include a first bottom portion including a first outer surface located downward from a lower edge of the helmet body and a second bottom portion including a second outer surface located rearward from the first bottom portion. The first outer surface and the second outer surface form a wearing opening of the helmet and are negative pressure generating surfaces configured to generate a downforce acting on the helmet by having the first outer surface located downward from the second outer surface. The first bottom portion and the second bottom portion are resilient so as to enlarge the wearing opening when receiving force for enlarging the wearing opening and reduce the wearing opening in size when the force is removed.
