It was called a "hairnet" made of leather,, stuffed with horse hair. It offered little more then a little padding when put to use.

I was still racing in one until 1985 and they were pretty much standard fare. 
I've got mine packed away in the attic along with some wool jersies, shorts, and Vittoria shoes with nailed on cleats.
