Claims7
A helmet, comprising:
- an energy absorbing layer comprising an energy absorbing material that absorbs energy by compression of the energy absorbing material, the energy absorbing layer including an inside surface and an outside surface opposite the inside surface such that the inside surface is adapted to be closer to a wearer's head than the outside surface and the inside surface faces the attachment device;
- an attachment device provided for attachment of the helmet to the wearer's head;
- and
- a sliding facilitator, wherein the sliding facilitator is provided between the inside surface of the energy absorbing layer and the attachment device, wherein the sliding facilitator is fixated to at least one of the attachment device or the inside surface of the energy absorbing layer for providing slidability between the energy absorbing layer and the attachment device.
