A method of making a face mask including the steps of providing a plurality of lengths of Grade 2, commercially pure titanium wire, having a diameter of from about 0.21 to about 0.24 inches; forming each length at room temperature to a desired bend angle by bending the member at room temperature using rotary bending apparatus to a first bend angle that is from about 1.25 to about 1.35 times greater than the desired bend angle; and welding each of the thus formed lengths to at least one other of the lengths in an ambient, oxygen containing environment.

A batting helmet includes an adjustable circumferential head band that allows the helmet to be worn by individuals with a wide range of head sizes while maintaining a constant air gap between the wearers head and the interior padding of the helmet. This air gap increases the elapsed time between impact of a ball with the helmet and impact between the helmet and its padding and the wearers head, thereby allowing for increased dispersion of energy through the shell of the helmet.
