Is football getting SOFT? Well, maybe not the game. But, what about the helmet?

The Guardian Cap is a product of a company that has long been in the business of innovation and has been working to create impact reduction technologies. The Guardian is a giant step forward in innovation of sports equipment. The Guardian brings a soft-shell layer to the outside of the decades old hard-shell football helmets and reduces the impact the head takes in a hit up to 33%.

Why the soft outer shell?

Physics says that an outer “soft” material of the proper density, stiffness and energy absorbing properties reduces the initial severity of the impact. The hard shell then has lower forces transmitted to it, and in turn conveys lower forces to the interior soft helmet padding and then lower forces to the head.
