Abstract:
A universal combination sweatband, headband, and protective headgear device covers and protects crucial areas around the entire circumference of a user's head while conforming to each user's particular anatomy, including head shape and size. Two or more layers of impact absorbing elastomeric polymer materials having full elastic memory are encapsulated on either the inside or the external part of the headgear, between inner and outer layers of moisture absorbing material, such as neoprene or cotton knitted fabric. Hook and loop fasteners or stretching allow for adjusted fitting to the user's head. The elastomeric polymer layers are structured and disposed to absorb and dissipate significant impact forces. The two or more layers of elastomeric polymeric materials are provided with an arrangement of ventilation holes formed therethrough to allow perspiration to be transferred from the inner layer to the outer layer of moisture absorbing material for dissipation.

Claim (Index 1):
A protective headgear device comprising:\n a headband having an outer layer with an outer facing surface, an inner layer with an inner facing surface, and a central portion, the headband being sized, structured and configured to extend around the entire circumference of a user's head, including across the forehead, through the temporal regions and across the back of the user's head to define an operative position, and the outer layer and the inner layer of the headband being formed of a material that absorbs and dissipates moisture; at least one layer of an impact absorbing polymeric material between the outer layer and the inner layer of the headband positioned to overly and protect areas around the entire circumference of the user's head when the headband is worn in the operative position, and the at least one layer of an impact absorbing polymeric material being compressible and having elastic memory capable of resuming original shape after compression and a hardness ranging between Shore A 20 and 65, and the at least one layer of an impact absorbing polymeric material being structured and disposed to absorb and dissipate external forces of impact to the outer facing surface when the headband is worn in the operative position on the user's head; and the at least one layer of an impact absorbing polymeric material further including an arrangement of equally spaced ventilation holes formed entirely through a thickness of the at least one impact absorbing polymeric insert, and the ventilation holes having a diameter ranging between 1/32 of an inch and \u215b of an inch.
