Abstract
A helmet including a visor assembly having a breath guard is provided. The visor assembly includes a visor pivotally connected to the helmet shell and having an inner surface facing the cavity when in the lowered position. The visor assembly further includes a breath guard interface provided below the visor and a breath guard which has a visor interface connected to the breath guard interface of the visor assembly. The breath guard includes a flexible member connected to and extending from the visor interface and a contact surface shaped and configured to engage the wearer's face around the nose and mouth for deflecting humid air away from the inner surface of the visor. The flexible member has a channel extending along the visor interface having a substantially V-shaped cross-section configured to allow the flexible member to be deformed when raising the visor.
