A helmet for protecting a user's head is provided with a faceguard, in which fastening of the faceguard to the helmet is facilitated, including by retention of fastening hardware (e.g., one or more fasteners) on the faceguard before the faceguard is fastened to the helmet. This may be useful for the user or other individuals, such as at a retail store or other location selling or otherwise providing the helmet and/or the faceguard.

Systems and methods for fastening a faceguard to a helmet

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to carry out a method. The method comprises obtaining sensor data indicative of a parameter sensed by a sensor associated with an article of sports equipment; obtaining position data indicative of a spatial position of the sensor or of the article of sports equipment; jointly processing the sensor data and the position data to derive a hybrid metric; and outputting a signal conveying the hybrid metric on a network or storing the hybrid metric in a computer-readable memory. The sensor data and the position data may be time-aligned to a common time reference, so that the jointly processing is carried out on the time-aligned sensor data and position data. The hybrid metric measures properties that are not derivable from the sensor data alone or the position data alone.
