aviator helmet
Open-cockpit head protection
An aviator helmet is a close-fitting leather or fabric cap worn by early pilots, typically featuring ear flaps, chin straps, and goggles.
The design protected against wind and cold in open cockpits.
Though obsolete for actual flight, the aviator helmet persists as a nostalgic symbol of early aviation and appears in costume contexts: He dressed as a barnstormer with goggles and an aviator helmet.
