Zusammenfassung:A helmet may be worn on a head of a wearer having a shape and a contour. The helmet may have a plurality of layers coupled together including an energy management layer and an outer shell layer disposed over the energy management layer. The plurality of layers are integrally formed with one another, and the energy management layer is configured to absorb and dissipate energy received by the helmet during an impact by an external force. The outer shell layer is configured to disperse and dissipate impact energy from the external force. Each of the plurality of layers has a density and a geometry, and the density or geometry of at least one layer differs from the density or geometry of at least another layer.
