The invention relates to a helmet with a hood according to the

Preamble of claim 1.

The helmet comprises at least one rigid shell. The one shell or the multiple shells can be arranged in different sub-regions of the helmet, in particular in different layers of the helmet. For example, the one shell or a shell made up of the shells can form an outer layer of the helmet. The helmet can comprise one rigid shell or multiple rigid shells. The shells can be made of different materials. The shells can together form a

Form a composite material.

The requirements for a helmet such as the mentioned stiffness and/or shock absorbing effect are determined by the

relevant standards.

The hood is made of a deformable material. The hood is placed on a person's head and is arranged between a person's head and the helmet. The hood comprises an inner hood surface for contacting the head and an outer hood surface for contacting the inner helmet surface of the helmet. The hood is preferably made of a

Textile made.

DE202016001936U1 discloses a helmet and a hood with a plate, which plate extends at least in the zone from the vertex to the peripheral perimeter of the head. The peripheral perimeter extends - as disclosed in DE202016001936 - through the temples and is derivable, among other things, from the relevant standards. It is not disclosed in DE202016001936 that the helmet includes helmet openings. It can thus be defined in DE202016001936 that the plate has a size related to the inner

helmet surface.

head has a shape adapted or adaptable to it.

The helmet opening can, for example, be a ventilation hole. For example, a helmet for a child riding a children's bicycle, skateboard, or similar device includes such helmet openings to prevent the person from sweating on the head. However, these helmet openings also pose a safety risk to the person because objects can penetrate these helmet openings and thus injure the person's head. Since the risk of such objects penetrating the helmet openings when riding a bicycle, skateboard, or similar device is generally considered very low, such helmet openings with a specific helmet opening cross-section are approved for helmets for the aforementioned purposes according to the relevant standards. However, such helmet openings, in particular such helmet openings with a helmet opening cross-section as in a helmet for a child riding a bicycle, skateboard, or similar device, are approved according to the relevant standards

for example, not permitted in skiing.
