VTECH HEADGEAR TESTING

VTECH Headgear outperformed top Sparring & Medical Protective headgear in the market in both impact absorption and injury reduction

11

VTECH HEADGEAR TESTING SUMMARY

AVERAGE REDUCTION IN CONCUSSION

VTECH headgear reduces concussions by 11.5% on average. Reducing a concussion incidence probability to less than 10% in any martial art.

IMPACT ABSORPTION

VTECH Headgear presents less initial absorption than common headgears, however it damps the impact faster! This means that the human head is submitted to acceleration for less time, preventing the brain from hitting the skull walls.

INJURY REDUCTION

During a fall, VTECH Headgear reduces the risk of injury compared to common headgears by 78%. In higher impacts, VTECH Headgear turns a fatal injury for a single concussion.

NORMS PASSED

The following Norms were set by the American Society for Testing and Materials, they are set to evaluate the performance & protection of headgear. Currently no soft protective headgear is know to pass these set Norms, besides VTECH Headgear.

ASTM F1446

1.An impact velocity of 3.0 ± 0.15 [m/s] shall report an acceleration measurement that cannot exceed 100-G 2.An impact velocity of 4.0 ± 0.2 [m/s] shall report an acceleration measurement that cannot exceed 300-G

ASTM F2397

1.The maximum acceleration during any impact shall not exceed 50-G for an impact velocity of 5 ± 0.3 [m/s] 2.The maximum acceleration during any impact shall not exceed 150-G for an impact velocity of 8 ± 0.3 [m/s]

"ICS Laboratories utilizes a wide range of state-of-the-art equipment to test athletic equipment for performance standards and specifications from around the world. Athletes involved with individual and team sports at every level of play, as well as persons who use protective gear to participate in their preferred recreational activities all rely on the performance of their equipment to stay safe. ICS tests a considerable breadth of athletic PPE to ensure methods and standards that both consumers and regulators expect, and often demand, compliance with."
