Subjective 'tug tests' are insufficient. Our sensors objectively quantify strap tension to combat 'fit drift,' ensuring the retention system remains secure. This addresses the 70%+ of youth athletes found to have improper helmet fit during the season.
Research shows loose straps amplify rotational acceleration—the primary driver of diffuse axonal injury. By preventing helmet-head decoupling, our system helps minimize the dangerous rotational kinematics that occur during oblique impacts.
Turning fit into a measurable variable. Our dashboard logs compliance and slack events, providing coaches with a season-long dataset to identify risk patterns and document proper equipment usage in the event of an injury.
NOCSAE standards assume a secure fit that often doesn't exist in real-world play. Our technology bridges this gap, ensuring that the helmet and head remain coupled as a single unit to maximize the protective performance of any helmet model.
Fit status changes with every hit. Our system uses immediate visual and haptic cues to prompt athletes to re-tighten straps the moment slack thresholds are exceeded, rather than waiting for a sideline check.
Clinical studies link improper helmet fit to more severe injury outcomes and longer recovery times. Our data-driven protocols help teams maintain optimal fit to reduce symptom severity and support faster recovery when injuries occur.
