Decorative protective helmet

Abstract

A molded decorative protective helmet, which can be made in desirable shapes. Standard semi-hemispherical motorcycle helmets serve their protective purpose very well but have an undesirable appearance to many motorcyclists. A hard molded protective helmet made to have the appearance of a more desirable soft cloth or leather cap will promote motorcycle helmet use resulting in greater protection to a user. The molded protective helmet can have a bill or raised outer edges, which can serve as a point of first contact in the event of a fall by the motorcyclist. This point of first contact can crumble and absorb some of the force of the fall, thus avoiding transmitting the force to a motorcyclist's head. The helmet can be molded from a softer rigid outer covering and a harder inner shell and may have a liner which can be individually sized for a user's head.
