Abstract

Helmet comprising an outer shell having left and right side portions, inner padding configured to be located between the left and right side portions and a wearer's head, and a lateral adjustment device for adjusting the helmet's fit. The lateral adjustment device is between the outer shell and the inner padding and comprises a first leg with a distal end fixed to the outer shell or the inner padding; a second leg; a connecting leg portion interconnecting the first and second legs; a third leg with a distal end mounted to the second leg; and an actuator for moving the second leg between first and second positions with respect to the third leg while pivoting the connecting leg portion such that the first and second legs are movable from a first orientation to a second orientation. In the second orientation, the first and second legs lie in spaced planes.
