Abstract
A breathing mask is provided for a helmet which reduces the formation of water on the lens of the eyeglasses of the wearer or on the shield of the helmet. The helmet comprises a head portion, a shield portion, and a breathing mask is hermetically adapted to the face of the wearer to evacuate the wear's breath outside the helmet through breathing channels. The jaw shield can be pivotally opened or closed and is locked to the head portion and includes a see-through shield and a tinted shield. The tinted shield can be lowered inside the helmet to protect the wearer from sun rays and reflexions.
