The invention is related to a helmet having an interior foam liner with at least two shell portions. The helmet includes an exterior in-mold shell portion covering a portion of the liner. The helmet also includes an exterior post-applied shell portion covering a portion of the liner that is not covered by the in-mold shell portion. The helmet includes conduits located between the liner and the post-applied shell portion for ventilation and air flow useful for removing the heat generated by a user.

Eyewear, such as goggles, includes a frame, a lens supported by the frame, and an outrigger that is pivotally mounted to sides of the frame. An elastic band is mounted to the outrigger. The elastic band is made from two band arms that are connected on one end to form a loop, and at the opposite end, the arms have loose ends, but can be attached and detached from the outrigger. The attachable and detachable aspect of the band provides the opportunity to interchange the band when the band is worn or broken, or alternatively, a completely different style of band can be used with the eyewear. For example, a traditional looking band having a stretchable elastic textile band can be substituted for the band with two arms.

A retractable headrest is movable between an extended position for protecting a passenger and a retracted position for improving rearward visibility. In a first embodiment, the headrest is positioned below a stretchable fabric panel which allows a headrest shell to be raised into the extended position by stretching the panel. A second embodiment incorporates an extending cushion that can be moved between the extended and retracted positions by an extending arm. A third embodiment incorporates a support frame that can be folded or bowed by a drive mechanism to move between the retracted and extended positions. A fourth embodiment is a hybrid between the second and third embodiments.
