Abstract
A helmet for protecting a head of a wearer, such as a hockey, lacrosse, football or other sports player. The helmet includes an outer shell and padding disposed between the outer shell and the wearer's head. The padding includes an inner part configured to face the wearer's head and an outer part disposed between the outer shell and the inner part. The inner part of the padding includes rotational impact protection pads that are spaced from one another and arranged so that they are oriented towards different areas of the wearer's head. Each rotational impact protection pad is separately connected to the outer part of the padding and is movable relative thereto by sliding against the outer part of the padding in response to a rotational impact on the helmet, wherein given ones of the rotational impact protection pads have different shapes and/or different sizes from one another.
