  • helmet cover assembly 100 is configured to fit snuggly over exterior surface 210 of helmet 200 when mounted onto helmet 200 such that no or minimal clearance exists between helmet cover assembly 100 and exterior surface 210.
  • helmet cover assembly 100 generally includes a cover 110 to which one or more accessory mounts may be attached, for example, a left mounting rail 120, a right mounting rail 130, and/or a front shroud 140.
  • attaching the one or more accessory mounts (e.g., 120, 130, 140) to cover 110 avoids the need to attach these accessory mounts directly onto helmet 200, which in turn may eliminate or at least reduce the need for drilling holes into helmet 200 that could compromise or weaken helmet 200 according to certain embodiments.
  • having the one or more accessory mounts attached to cover 110 rather than directly to helmet 200 can provide for a quicker and/or more convenient method of adding and/or removing the one or more accessory mounts to or from helmet 200 since, for example, no additional tools may be required (e.g., drill, screw driver, etc.), and the one or more accessory mounts can be added or removed from helmet 200 all at the same time rather than individually.
  • cover 110 is configured to substantially match the contour of exterior surface 210 of helmet 200. In some embodiments, cover 110 extends over all of or substantially all of exterior surface 210 of helmet 200. In other embodiments, cover 110 may include one or more cutouts to expose one or more areas of exterior surface 210. In some embodiments, cover 110 further extends over all or at least a portion of peripheral edge 220 of helmet 200. Peripheral edge 220 refers to the rim of helmet 200 which defines the opening through which the user may place his/her head during use of helmet 200.
