Abstract
The invention relates to an integral helmet comprising a shock resistant helmet shell () which covers the top part of the head to the neck and the ear area of a user, defines a visor opening () at lower and top edges and is complimented by the chin area defining the lower side of the visor opening in such a way that a slip opening () which totally encompasses the neck of the helmet user is formed, wherein the chin area is connected to the helmet shell () which upwardly pivots around a horizontal axis of rotation for enlarging the slip opening (). The aim of said invention is to develop a light identically safe helmet. For this purpose, the chin area comprises a chin element () which is connected to a lateral area () of the shell () in such a way that it is pivotable around a rotatable joint having a substantially horizontal axis in order to increase the slip opening (). When said chin element is closed, it extends away from the lateral area () of the shell over half the width of the visor opening and is connectable to the helmet element () adjacent to an edge () by the free end thereof.
