Helmet goggle designed for on-road and off-road use

A protective helmet comprising:

• a head receiving helmet body including a head receiving interior and an exterior, wherein the exterior has, a crown portion, a brow portion extending downwardly from the crown portion, a rear portion, two opposing side portions, and a chin bar, wherein the crown portion, the brow portion, the rear portion, the chin bar, and the opposing side portions are a unitary assembly configured to provide impact protection for motorsports and cycling;
• a perimetral lip defining a forward-facing aperture in a front surface of the head receiving helmet body, wherein the perimetral lip extends along the brow portion, the opposing side portions, and the chin bar, wherein the perimetral lip includes a shield member engaging surface;
• a transparent shield member engageable with the head receiving helmet body and configured to be placeable adjacent to the forward-facing aperture in the front surface of the head receiving helmet body, the transparent shield member including a front surface, a rear surface, and a perimetral edge, wherein the perimetral edge has a top portion, a bottom portion, a first side portion and a second side portion, the perimetral edge being sized and configured for engaging the perimetral lip of the head receiving helmet body at the brow portion, the opposing side portions, and a portion of the chin bar;
• an elastomeric sealing member extending about the perimetral edge of the transparent shield member and configured to provide sealing engagement between the perimetral edge of the transparent shield member and the shield member engaging surface of the perimetral lip of the helmet body;
• and
• a strap having a first end, a second end, and a middle portion extending between the first and second ends, wherein the first end is coupled to the first side portion of the transparent shield member, the second end is coupled to the second side portion of the transparent shield member, and the middle portion is configured to engage the rear portion of the head receiving helmet body, and wherein the engagement of the perimetral edge of the transparent shield member with the perimetral lip of the helmet body enables an increasing force exerted against the transparent shield member to be exerted against the protective helmet rather than directly against a user's face.
