Abstract
The headwear includes a headgear formed of flexible material for comfortably encompassing the individual's head. The forward portion of the headgear has an opening to which is mounted the inner end of a face tunnel, which projects forwardly of the headgear. The headwear is formed of three layers, an inner layer, an intermediate foam layer and an outer layer. One of the inner and outer layers is formed of a high wind resistant material having high heat retention and moisture vapor transmission characteristics. In one form, the foam forming the intermediate layer of the face tunnel has a greater density than the foam forming the intermediate layer of the headgear, whereby the face tunnel is substantially rigid, stiff and self-sustaining in shape, even in the face of high winds. An access opening is provided adjacent the back of the headwear to enable it to be placed on and pulled off the individual's head.
