Abstract
A ballistic garment includes a fabric hat and an insert received within an interior of the fabric hat. The insert includes a plurality of flexible ballistic sheets mounted together to collectively form the insert. The insert further includes a rear bottom edge. The insert is configured such that the rear bottom edge of the insert extends to an occipital ridge of a wearer when the insert is on the wearer.
Claims17
A ballistic headwear system, comprising:
- a fabric hat;
- and
- an insert received within an interior of the fabric hat, the insert comprising a plurality of flexible ballistic sheets mounted together to collectively form the insert, the insert further comprising a rear bottom edge, the insert configured such that the rear bottom edge of the insert extends to an occipital ridge of a wearer when the insert is on the wearer,
- wherein each of the plurality of flexible ballistic sheets defines at least one slit, opposite edges of the plurality of flexible ballistic sheets at the at least one slit positioned in overlap such that each of the plurality of flexible ballistic sheets is curved,
- wherein the plurality of flexible ballistic sheets are nested together, and
- wherein the opposite edges of each of the plurality of flexible ballistic sheets defines an overlap joint, the plurality of flexible ballistic sheets are nested together in a stack, and the overlap joint of each of the plurality of flexible ballistic sheets is offset from the overlap joints of adjacent ballistic sheets within the stack of flexible ballistic sheets.

A ballistic garment, comprising:
- a fabric hat comprising a rear bottom edge, the fabric hat configured such that the rear bottom edge of the fabric hat covers an occipital ridge of the wearer when the fabric hat is on the wearer;
- and
- an insert removably received within an interior of the fabric hat, the insert comprising a plurality of flexible ballistic sheets thermally bonded together to collectively form the insert, the insert further comprising a rear bottom edge positioned at the rear bottom edge of the fabric hat such that the rear bottom edge of the insert extends to the occipital ridge of the wearer when the insert is on the wearer,
- wherein each of the plurality of flexible ballistic sheets defines at least one slit, opposite edges of the plurality of flexible ballistic sheets at the at least one slit positioned in overlap such that each of the plurality of flexible ballistic sheets is curved,
- wherein the plurality of flexible ballistic sheets are nested together, and
- wherein the opposite edges of each of the plurality of flexible ballistic sheets defines an overlap joint, the plurality of flexible ballistic sheets are nested together in a stack, and the overlap joint of each of the plurality of flexible ballistic sheets is offset from the overlap joints of adjacent ballistic sheets within the stack of flexible ballistic sheets.
