Abstract

An external shock absorbing pad for helmets with a display function has a transparent shock absorbing pad that externally covers a protective helmet to provide additional impact protection by absorbing kinetic energy during impact. The shock absorbing pad is transparent so that any team logos or graphics are still visible after application. An adhesive is applied to an inner surface of the pad allows a user to apply the pad to the exterior portion of the helmet. The user peels back a protective backing and then applies the pad to the helmet so that it follows the contours and shape of the helmet. The pad is made from a polyurethane plastic.
