Protective headgear (6)

I think it could be either:

helmet

sunhat

'protective headgear' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for helmet that I've seen before include "to provide capital protection" , "Biker's headgear" , "Safety hat" , "Tin hat" , "Top Gear" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Telegraph, the Irish Times, the Evening Standard, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Independent and The Guardian.
