Abstract
A protective headgear conforming to a person's head and capable of absorbing energy. The headgear is constructed of a base member of resilient foam and pad members are secured to the resilient foam. The entire headgear is covered with tough pliable surface casing. The headgear defines a front opening which is generally contoured and shaped to conform with the periphery of a person's eyes and extending downward along the cheek area to expose the chin and neck and two ear openings. A pair of cross members formed on the top of the headgear retain the headgear on a person's head and define ventilation openings.
