Helmet assembly with visor assembly having a breath guard

A breath guard connectable to a visor of a helmet for deflecting humid air away from an inner surface of the visor, the breath guard comprising:

• a visor interface operatively connected to a breath guard interface of the visor;
• and
• a flexible member having a nose cover shaped and sized for covering the wearer's nose, and a pair of wings extending on opposed sides of the nose cover,
• the flexible member further having:
• a front portion extending from the visor interface;
• and
• a rear portion extending rearwardly from the front portion,
• the rear portion having a contact surface shaped and configured to engage the wearer's face around the nose and/or mouth for deflecting humid air away from the inner surface of the visor when the visor is in the lowered position,
• the front portion being provided with a channel extending along the visor interface, the channel having a substantially V-shaped cross-section configured to allow the flexible member to be deformed and have the breath guard at least partially fit within the gap defined between the visor and top surface of the helmet when the visor is raised,
• the channel being defined by a first sidewall and a second sidewall connected to one another at a bottom surface, the bottom surface being lower than a lowermost surface of the nose cover when the breath guard is in use on the wearer's face.

A visor assembly of a helmet having a helmet shell defining a cavity, the visor assembly comprising:

• a visor pivotally connected to the helmet shell and being movable between a lowered position for substantially covering the front opening, and a raised position thereby defining a gap between the visor and the helmet shell, the visor having an inner surface facing the cavity when in the lowered position;
• and
• a breath guard interface provided below the visor;
• and
• a breath guard, comprising:
• a visor interface connectable to the breath guard interface;
• and
• a flexible member having a nose cover shaped and sized for covering the wearer's nose, and a pair of wings extending on opposed sides of the nose cover,
• the flexible member further having:
• a front portion extending from the visor interfaces;
• and
• a rear portion extending rearwardly from the front portion, the rear portion having a contact surface shaped and configured to engage the wearer's face around the nose and/or mouth for deflecting humid air away from the inner surface of the visor when the visor is in the lowered position,
• the front portion being provided with a channel extending along the visor interface, the channel having a substantially V-shaped cross-section configured to allow the flexible member to be deformed and have the breath guard at least partially fit within the gap defined between the visor and top surface of the helmet shell when the visor is raised,
• the channel being defined by a first sidewall and a second sidewall connected to one another at a bottom surface, the bottom surface being lower than a lowermost surface of the nose cover when the visor is in the lowered position.
