THE HEAD NET™; 6 OUNCES OF LIGHTWEIGHT, VENTILATED, COMFORTABLE 360° OF HEAD PROTECTION

The Head Net™ is specifically designed employing anatomical knowledge and understanding to mitigate the severity of blows to the head. Creating a rapid distribution of the force of the impact over the skull, utilizing patented, light material which reconstitutes immediately, the Head Net™ dissipates the force to a lower peak, for a longer period of time, reducing impact severity and head injury criterion (HIC).

The Head Net™ provides up to a 71% reduction in head injury criterion (HIC).

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY AND CEREBRAL CONTUSIONS

Coup-Countercoup Injury describes cerebral contusions that occur at the site of the impact, and also on the complete opposite side of the brain. This occurs when the force striking the head is great enough to cause a contusion at the site of impact. A strong enough impact can actually move the brain; causing it to slam into the opposite side of the skull, where it increases the additional contusion.

Testing was performed using the CADEX LINEAR IMPACT TESTING MACHINE. Linear Acceleration and Head Injury Criterion (HIC) were the metrics used to compare the force of a baseball traveling at 85 to 90 mph and striking the headform, which was representative of a player’s head and brain.

Please Note: Criteria for helmet testing today does not test any protection rendered for the brain; but rather only the helmet itself. This is the precise reason Enhancers were developed. Custom fit to specific head size, the Enhancers distribute impact force more evenly over a greater area than using an adjustable component, as studies have shown.
