Head protection is protective equipment designed to protect the head from injury. Typically, head protection is used in sports such as cycling, skiing, snowboarding, hockey and boxing, but also in work environments such as construction sites or factories. It often consists of a robust outer shell that absorbs shocks and impacts, as well as padding inside for additional comfort and shock absorption. Head protection can have various shapes and designs, depending on its intended use, and is an essential part of safety equipment in many fields.
