Abstract
A modular helmet is described herein. The module helmet includes an inner shell adapted to be positioned onto a user's head and an outer shell coupled to the inner shell. The outer shell is spaced a distance radially outward from the inner shell to define a climatic zone between the inner shell and the outer shell. A cooling assembly is positioned within the climatic zone between the inner shell and the outer shell. The cooling assembly includes a plurality of cooling packets that are coupled to the outer shell.

A modular helmet comprising:
- an inner shell adapted to be positioned onto a user's head;
- an outer shell coupled to the inner shell, the outer shell spaced a distance radially outward from the inner shell to define a climatic zone between the inner shell and the outer shell;
- and
- a cooling assembly positioned within the climatic zone between the inner shell and the outer shell, the cooling assembly including a plurality of cooling packets that are coupled to the outer shell.
A modular helmet comprising:
- an inner shell adapted to be positioned onto a user's head, the inner shell includes a plurality of inner vents;
- an outer shell coupled to the inner shell, the outer shell spaced a distance radially from the inner shell to define a climatic zone between the inner shell and the outer shell, the outer shell includes a plurality of outer vents configured to couple the climatic zone in flow communication with ambient air;
- and
- a cushion assembly positioned within the climatic zone between the inner shell and the outer shell, the cushion assembly including a plurality of cushions that are coupled to the outer shell.
A fastening assembly for use with a helmet assembly including an outer shell, the fastening assembly comprising:
- an outer support member adapted to be positioned within a support opening extending through the outer shell, the outer support member including a base portion defining a pivot axis and a support arm extending outwardly from the base portion, the support arm configured to contact an inner surface of the support opening to facilitate resisting a rotation of the helmet outer shell about the pivot axis.
