AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Motorcycle riders also often wear leathers, chaps and other relatively tight fitting protective clothing, such that transport of personal items such as keys, cell phones, cosmetics and the like in pant or shirt pockets is often not possible or easily accomplished when the rider reaches his or her destination.
This results in the rider having to carry these objects by hand.
The pouch, however, is by necessity very small, being limited to the size of the tail, which for aesthetic purposes is often quite small.
Thus the amount of personal items that can be received by the pouch is limited.
Secondly, the pouch and tail are exposed, as they extend from the main body of the head covering.
Thirdly, there is no dedicated handle or carrying means for the head covering, such that the user must bunch up the material.
