helmets
Riders wear them
Helmets are protective head coverings, typically hard-shelled, worn to guard against impact.
Different activities require different designs: motorcycle helmets, football helmets, bicycle helmets, combat helmets.
Always wear a helmet when riding.
Figuratively, to put on your helmet is to prepare for conflict or difficulty.
