The opening/closing plate 10 is provided with a plurality of window holes 11 corresponding to the window holes 8 of the outer wall 2a, and a knob 12 is provided to project forward. Knob 1
2 protrudes forward and outward from a long hole 13 in the left and right direction of the outer wall 2a, and by pinching this knob 12 and pressing or pulling it left and right, the window hole 11 of the opening/closing plate 10 opens as shown in FIG. The opening/closing plate 10 can be slid left and right between an air window open position corresponding to the window hole 8 of the outer wall 2a and an air window closed position where the window hole 11 is removed from the window hole 8 as shown in FIG. There is. Reference numeral 15 denotes an air circulation groove provided in the inner wall 2b of the guard portion 2, which is recessed corresponding to the air window 7, so that air entering from the air window 7 flows into the helmet body 1 through this groove. It's summery.

17 is a shield, which is formed into a curved plate shape from transparent synthetic resin, etc., and the upper portions of both left and right ends are connected to the pivot 1.
It is pivotally supported on the helmet main body 1 at 8, and closes the opening 3 so as to be openable and closable.

21 is a spoiler that covers the front side of the helmet wearer's neck, and is made of synthetic resin etc.
The spoiler 21 is formed in a curved arc shape to correspond to the guard part 2 of FIGS. 4 and 5.
As shown in the figure, it comprises an upper insertion part 22, a lower windshield part 23 curved inward, and a connecting part 24 connecting these two parts. The insertion part 22 can be freely inserted and removed from the lower side into the gap between the outer wall 2a and the inner wall 2b of the guard part 2 over the entire length,
This insertion allows the spoiler 21 to be detachably attached to the helmet body 1. The windshield part 23 is formed to gradually become wider in the vertical direction from both left and right ends toward the front center part, and is curved in a U-shape so that it can easily expand and contract in the vertical direction.
