PRIORITY CLAIM

[0001] This application claims priority to French Patent Application Number 08 05768, entitled Headset Including a System for Securing the Visor by Microfibres, filed on Oct. 17, 2008.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The field of the invention relates to headsets comprising at least one supporting shell and a visor.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] A headset for aircraft pilots, notably of fighter aeroplanes, is generally multifunction and is equipped with visors. Such a headset comprises a rigid supporting shell which generally surrounds the top, the back and the side portions of the wearer's skull. The headset generally includes visors through which the wearer of the headset can see his environment; these visors are more often than not retractable towards the top of the skull and provide protection for the face against various attacks (wind, dust, light or violent lighting, etc.). For night flights, a night vision system can also be inserted in front of the eyes of the wear...
