Abstract
A floatable lightweight protective sports head gear having ring-shaped and cross-members for providing head protection, a pair of ear flaps for providing ear protection, a sun visor for providing eye protection and a chin strap for removably retaining the head gear on a wearer's head. All component parts of the head gear, except the chin strap, are made from a soft resilient closed-cell foam type material over which is provided a watertight covering. In an alternative embodiment the head gear may comprise a cap of material from which the ear flaps and visor extend in lieu of the cross-member.
