Abstract
A one-piece chinstrap-napestrip assembly for a helmet in which a pair of napestraps secured to the nap portion of the helmet interior at laterally spaced locations extend around the lower periphery of the helmet, crossing each other, and pass outwardly through slots formed in the front of the helmet to receive the ends of an adjustable chinstrap. Adjustment of the chinstrap at the front of the assembly produces a simultaneous adjustment of the crossing napestrap portions at the rear of the assembly without the necessity for independent adjustment of the latter strap portions. A padded napestrap retainer secured by straps to the same locations on the nape portion of the helmet is formed with intersecting passages for receiving the crossing strap portions. The retainer reduces chafing and urges the crossing napestrap portions toward the rear of the helmet when the chinstrap is released to facilitate donning and doffing.
