FIG5A is a left side view of the helmet according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention when the shield is closed and the chin guard is down. As shown in FIG5A, the cover member 15a is provided so as to cover the rear side of the turning mechanism 12a. In this case, if an upper face of the seal member 14 and an upper face of the cover member 15a form a continuous surface, the shield 20 can be formed as a continuous surface that corresponds with the continuous surface of the seal member 14 and the cover member 15a. Consequently, it is desirable, as there are fewer step shapes, the ingression prevention effect is improved, appearance is excellent, and fabrication is simple.
