Abstract
An adjustable suspension for a helmet or the like in which a front headband portion adapted to extend across the front of the wearer's head and a rear headband portion adapted to extend across the rear of the wearer's head receive an adjustable peripheral strap that extends around the wearer's head to complete the headband. Respective crown straps secured to the headband portions at their lower ends are formed with loops at their upper ends which are interconnected by an adjustable-length cord. A suspension frame contains apertures at spaced locations therearound for receiving the intermediate portions of the crown straps. Each headband portion also receives an adjustable strap that is looped through adjacent apertures in the suspension frame to permit adjustment of the front-to-back spacing of the suspension frame relative to the wearer's head.
