Abstract
A liner for helmets, hats, caps or other head coverings has a body with a central section and tapered end sections. The body includes liquid absorbing material and is releasably secured to the head covering for easy replacement. The liners are typically disposable and may be formed with a core of thermoplastic containing other fibers sandwiched between facing and backing sheets. The edges and transversed sections of the body may be densified. Optionally, the liner may be cut in these transverse densified areas to adjust its length.

A liner for a helmet, hat, cap or other head covering to be worn by a user comprising:
- an elongated body which includes a moisture absorbing material, a central portion and first and second end portions, the first and second end portions terminating in respective first and second ends which are each spaced from the central portion, the first end portion being tapered from the central portion to the first end and the second end portion being tapered from the central portion to the second end and the body including a back surface with adhesive means for releasably securing the liner to the head covering, the liner being sized so as to engage the forehead and portions of the temples of the user.
A liner for a helmet, hat, cap or other head covering to be worn by a user comprising:
- an elongated body which includes a moisture absorbing material exposed along an external surface of the body for absorbing moisture from the head of the user, the body comprising fibers and having plural segments defined by transversely extending densified fiber regions, the segments facilitating optional severing of the body in the transversely extending densified regions to adjust the length of the body.
