1. A front cover for a helmet slidably connectable to a shell of the helmet for covering an upper side, a rear side, and two sides of the head of a wearer so as to protect the upper side, the rear side, and two sides of the head of the wearer, the front cover comprising:
a jaw protection portion configured to protect the wearer's jaw when the front cover is connected to the shell; and
a jaw mediation portion connected to the jaw protection portion and configured to serve to mediate the jaw protection portion and the shell by being connected to the shell, the jaw mediation portion comprising:
a locking recess portion formed by part of a side surface of the jaw mediation portion being recessed so that, when the front cover is slidably connected to the shell, a shell locking portion provided by the shell is inserted so that the front cover is prevented from being separated from the shell,
