Abstract
A helmet can include an outer surface and an inner surface, with an impact mitigation layer disposed between the outer surface and the inner surface. The helmet can include a pad assembly coupled to the inner surface. The pad assembly can include a fit adjustable liner attached to the inner surface of the helmet, and one or more nesting pods. The fit adjustable liner can include a first surface and multiple protrusions extending away from the first surface, with each protrusion defining a raised surface. The nesting pods fit over raised surfaces of the protrusions of the fit adjustable liner. At least one of the nesting pods can include a pod body defining an outer surface and an inner surface, and the inner surface can define a recessed cavity in the pod body. The recessed cavity at least partially surrounds a raised surface of a protrusion of the liner.
