Abstract

A goggle retaining apparatus to secure a pair of goggles having a goggle strap to a helmet. The apparatus having a first and second retaining component affixed to the sides of the helmet at a position substantially in line with the goggle strap when the pair of goggles is placed over the eyes of a wearer. The retaining components have a base member being secured to the side of the helmet and a retaining member secured to the base member. The retaining member is configured to receive the goggle strap when the pair of goggles is placed over the eyes of the wearer. The retaining component is configured to engage the goggle strap when the pair of goggles is moved upward from the eyes of the wearer such that the rear portion of the goggle strap located to the rear of the retaining component remains at a position substantially in line with the position of the goggle strap when the pair of goggles is placed over the eyes of a wearer. A stopping member is affixed to the crown of the helmet at approximately an equal distance between the retaining components and proximate to the front of the helmet. The stopping member has an elongated body extending away from the helmet such that the pair of goggles is engaged against the elongated body when the pair of goggles is moved upward from the eyes of the wearer.
