Very interesting.... Hey Parsko, they appear to be looking for test subjects, why not give them a call and get in on this revolutionary new product!!! :idea:
I was thinking that with the impact and stencil strength of kevlar, if you were to impregnate it with such a material it would probably work well. Put it all inside of a thin carbon fiber shell and your helmet would be light weight, impact absorbent, and comfortable. I do believe that the foam inner shell of a conventional helmet is designed to spread the impact over a larger surface area therefor minimizing the trauma caused to a single small area. The hard outer shell is still needed to maintain the rigidity of the helmet and more importantly, put stickers on
.......I just can't see how this new material can do that even if the molecules stiffen up on impact, it would be like wearing a helmet made of super play-do!
Regards,
