Päähihna

Päähihna is a Finnish term that translates to "head strap" or "head harness." It refers to a strap or set of straps worn around the head, typically for functional or protective purposes. The design and specific application of a päähihna can vary greatly depending on its intended use.

Common examples of päähihna include those used in safety equipment, such as helmets for construction workers, cyclists, or motorcyclists. These straps help to secure the helmet to the head, ensuring it stays in place during impact or activity. In some specialized fields, such as military or industrial settings, head harnesses might incorporate additional features like communication devices or lighting systems.

Beyond protective gear, päähihna can also be found in sporting equipment. For instance, some athletes use head straps to stabilize athletic equipment or to provide a secure fit for items like goggles or masks. In less common applications, the term might refer to straps used in certain types of restraints or even in some specialized medical devices, although these are less frequent uses. The core concept remains a system of straps designed to be worn around the head for a specific purpose.
