Poron XRD which is a high-end durable
Poron XRD which is a high-end durable foam and I’ll give you a quick

bounce the bounce is not a good thing that means the energy transfer is going
that means the energy transfer is going
that means the energy transfer is going through the foam to the brain now when I
through the foam to the brain now when I
through the foam to the brain now when I drop it on this Poron XRD you’re gonna
drop it on this Poron XRD you’re gonna
drop it on this Poron XRD you’re gonna see it take that energy and disperse it
see it take that energy and disperse it
see it take that energy and disperse it dissipate it and spread it out and again
dissipate it and spread it out and again
dissipate it and spread it out and again this is the material that our new
this is the material that our new

suspend technology is made out of it
suspend technology is made out of it it’s called Poron XRD so we tested a
it’s called Poron XRD so we tested a
it’s called Poron XRD so we tested a react helmet with suspend Tec and then a
react helmet with suspend Tec and then a
react helmet with suspend Tec and then a react helmet with conventional liner to
react helmet with conventional liner to
react helmet with conventional liner to really get that difference to show you
really get that difference to show you
really get that difference to show you how that suspend techs working what
how that suspend techs working what
how that suspend techs working what we’re looking at now is what’s happening
we’re looking at now is what’s happening
we’re looking at now is what’s happening to the brain inside the helmet the more
to the brain inside the helmet the more
to the brain inside the helmet the more red you see is the more strain level on
red you see is the more strain level on
red you see is the more strain level on the brain we’re more stress to the brain
the brain we’re more stress to the brain
the brain we’re more stress to the brain so this is in slow motion the helmets
so this is in slow motion the helmets
so this is in slow motion the helmets falling hits the surface and you can see
falling hits the surface and you can see
falling hits the surface and you can see the strain level it creates so at peak
the strain level it creates so at peak
the strain level it creates so at peak impact you can clearly see the
impact you can clearly see the
impact you can clearly see the difference between the react element
difference between the react element
difference between the react element would suspend tech versus more of a
would suspend tech versus more of a
would suspend tech versus more of a conventional liner and that equated to
conventional liner and that equated to
conventional liner and that equated to about 17 percent reduction in a
about 17 percent reduction in a
about 17 percent reduction in a rotational force 17 percent less strain
rotational force 17 percent less strain
rotational force 17 percent less strain or less stress to the brain
or less stress to the brain
or less stress to the brain you’re never gonna not have concussions
you’re never gonna not have concussions
you’re never gonna not have concussions but I think we’re just more aware of
