Conventional padding materials only absorb or dissipate impact energy. ARC’s responsive mechanical metamaterial brings it one step further by redirecting impact forces, allowing it to effectively protect against the 2 types of concussive forces. ARC was lab tested to protect up to 2.77 times better against linear impacts and 2.52 times better against rotational impacts than conventional headgear designs. The 4 piece headgear design, along with ergonomic placement of securement straps, creates a secure and adaptable fit for up to 2 sizes above the original head circumference. With up to 98.8% volume reduction, the well ventilated and perfectly balanced headgear allows unparalleled athletic performance.
