PRESSE RELEASE

NFL HELMET CHALLENGE

TOP

OPTIMIZED STRUCTURES

Our technology lies in a unique liner made of polymer strings, forming networks of structures that absorb a large amount of energy.

SOLUTION

HIGHER PROTECTION & PERFORMANCE

KOLLIDE 3D technology ensure better mechanical response to all types of impact, whether linear or angular.

LIGHTWEIGHT & HIGHLY BREATHABLE

3D printed materials provide unparalleled protection to weight ratio and air circulation, improving athletes’ comfort and performance.

HEAD SHAPE & PLAYSTYLE CUSTOMIZATION

Customize according to fit and field position to reach a higher level of protection.

VIRTUAL DESIGN VALIDATION

At KOLLIDE we leverage the full power of virtual simulation to ensure enhanced protection and compliance to all standards.

THE KOLLIDE HELMET

The KOLLIDE football helmet is an innovative and complete protective system that combines a unique arrangement of small 3D pads with their underlying support matrix structure. The 3D pads can move freely, relative to one another, to optimize shock absorption, depending on where the impact comes from.

HELMET CHALLENGE

The NFL Helmet Challenge is an innovation challenge that aims to stimulate the development by experts, innovators and helmet manufacturers of a new helmet for professional players that outperforms, based on laboratory testing, all helmets currently worn by NFL players.
