Impact Protection for Helmets
Optimized To Protect
From the battlefield to the playing field impacts to the head are both unpredictable and risk serious injury. With that, the primary purpose of a helmet is to protect against impact. SKYDEX works with helmet brands from all industries to protect the user from injury through the development of innovative impact mitigation solutions that are integrated into industry-leading helmet designs.
SKYDEX is engineered to compress under impact to absorb energy, distributing it away from the user's head, then rebound back to its original shape while retaining its energy-absorbing capability. This proprietary technology is easily integrated into any helmet as the impact protection layer and has been trusted in the field for 15+ years. Our team of development engineers brings expertise in head impact to ensure that SKYDEX protects from the toughest impacts so you can keep your head in the game.

Results
The SKYDEX liner reduced the peak acceleration by 43% more than the EPS liner on the 3rd impact. Additionally, between the 1st and 3rd impact, the protective capability of the EPS liner degraded significantly, greatly exceeding the acceleration threshold, while the SKYDEX liner maintained compliance through multiple impacts.
