WaveCel Technology
What is WaveCel? We are a new form of helmet safety, designed to help the adventurous avoid brain injuries - from bikes to boards to work sites and beyond, we'll keep you chasing safest. How does it work? WaveCel behaves like a network of hundreds of interconnected shock absorbers connecting your head and the outer shell of the helmet. It distributes the impact energy through its network of cells. It absorbs impact forces like the crumple zone of a car. It diverts rotational forces by flexing and gliding. We're helmets, evolved. Our Company Our journey into concussion research started almost 20 years ago. After considering how vulnerable the brain is to rotational forces, we embarked on re-inventing helmets to better absorb rotational forces during impact. Today, WaveCel technology provides exceptional protection from rotational forces and concussion. Our journey will continue as long as the chance remains to prevent brain injuries.
