The band is connected to opposing sidesof the helmet along an axis forward of the front-to-rear center of the helmet. Ends of the band may be fixed to the shell against rotation with the band extending rearward and downward from the helmet at an angle at about 50-70 degrees relative to horizontal, and the band may pivot about the axis by elasticdeformation to allow seating and removal of the helmet. The band ends may alternatively be allowed to pivot by hinge action about the axis. To retrofit anexisting construction helmet, the band ends may be formed with elastically separable jaws carrying teeth that snap into apertured tabs moulded with the helmet shell or into apertures otherwise provided in opposing sides of the helmet.
