A helmet providing superior comfort includes cheek pads that include a cushion member and a soft plane-like member (plate material, sheet material) having a reduced extension or shrinkage and not damaging the helmet wearing person adhered to a slant surface of a protrusion of the cushion member projecting from the shell installing surface of the cheek pads at both sides of the shell, and the extension or shrinkage of the protrusion is restricted to assure a desired strength at the protrusion, thereby the bending deformation of the protrusion at the time of installation is restricted. The bending deformation of the protrusion is restricted to cause the protrusion to be tightly abutted against the cheeks and the chin of the helmet wearing person when wearing the helmet.
