Abstract
A helmet fit system includes a harness, a first anchor and a second anchor secured to a helmet, a tensioning mechanism, and a cable passing from the mechanism, around the first anchor, through the harness, and around the second anchor. The tensioning mechanism is not secured to any portion of the harness. The harness may define a channel, the cable passing through the channel. The tensioning mechanism is mounted to the outer surface of a helmet on the first side of a plane of symmetry of the helmet such that the cable passes through the helmet.

A helmet fit system for mounting in a helmet comprising:
- a harness;
- a first anchor;
- a second anchor;
- a tensioning mechanism;
- and
- a cable passing from a first point of securement on the tensioning mechanism, around the first anchor, through the harness, and around the second anchor;
- wherein the tensioning mechanism is not secured to any portion of the harness.
A system comprising:
- a helmet adapted to secure around a head of a wearer and having an inner surface and an outer surface, the helmet defining a plane of symmetry;
- and
- a helmet fit system mounted to the helmet, the helmet fit system including:
- a harness;
- a first anchor mounted to the inner surface of the helmet on a first side of the plane of symmetry;
- a second anchor mounted to the inner surface of the helmet on a second side of the plane of symmetry opposite the first side;
- a tensioning mechanism mounted to the outer surface of the helmet on the first side of the plane of symmetry;
- and
- a cable passing from a first point of securement on the tensioning mechanism, around the first anchor, through the harness, and around the second anchor.
