Abstract
A lightweight protective headgear having ventilating qualities and having an outer shell, an elastomeric liner with a plurality of elastomeric members arranged with airspace therebetween and a porous material to keep the wearer's hair from filling the airspace between said elastomeric members. The elastomeric members have a base and a surface tapering towards a truncated apex and are arranged in a loosely fitted side by side pattern with their small ends directed axially inward for engaging the head of a wearer and with their large ends engaging the inside of the outer shell. The elastomeric members vary in height to conform the liner to the wearer's head and are arranged along the inside of the outer shell in front to back rows having greater spacing between the rows than between the elastomeric members in the rows.
