PCT No. PCT/EP86/00067 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 14, 1986 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 14, 1986 PCT Filed Feb. 13, 1986 PCT Pub. No. WO86/04791 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 28, 1986.The headgear comprises at least one annular band for surrounding the head and possibly completed by a cap. At least the frontal-lateral part of the band includes a thick, shock-absorbent structure of resiliently-compressible foamed material. This structure is covered externally by a flexible surface layer which is resistant to abrasion and is formed as a peak having such a shape in plan as to project in correspondence with the forehead and the temporal zones to such an extent as to shield all parts of the face and any goggles respectively, from frontal blows and the ears from glancing and lateral blows.

I claim:
1. Headgear for slalom racers comprising at least one annular band for encircling the head, at least the frontal-lateral part of which comprises a thick structure of resiliently compressible foamed material for absorbing shocks, said structure being covered externally by a flexible abrasion-resistant surface layer and having the form of a peak, having a shape in plane as to project in correspondence with the forehead and temporal zones through such an extent as to shield all parts of the face and any goggles from frontal blows and the ears from glancing and lateral blows wherein said peak has a rounded shape in plan for laterally deflecting poles hit frontally and has a recess in the lower surface thereof which acts as a seat for engaging the upper edge of goggles so as to prevent the goggles from being displaced by blows.
