chin strap and ???

[Cromag]

Hello,

I'm looking for a word:

When wearing a helmet there is a strap, generally called "chin strap" you have to attach. There are 2 kinds:

• if it is to be fitted on the chin, it's a chinstrap
• if it is to be fitted under the head/chin, how do you call it? Would Throat strap be ok?

If both are call chinstrap, how do you make the difference?

Thanks

It is always a chinstrap, whether the strap goes over the point of the chin or under the chin.

The throat is the front part of the neck.
