SAFER

The development of WaveCel technology has been supported by the US government (National Institute of Health) to help prevent head injury from impacts and falls.

First released in bicycle and snow sport helmets, WaveCel received TIME Magazine’s “The Best Inventions of 2020” award. WaveCel can absorb up to 73% more rotational force and has an up to 98% lower predicted risk of concussion than a standard helmet lining.*

SEE HOW IT PROTECTS

LOWER

The low profile of WaveCel hard hats results in less head “bumping“ and “clipping” when working in tight spaces. Their dome is about 1” or 20% lower than that of standard hard hats since WaveCel eliminates the need for a tall air space that traditional hard hats require to absorb impacts.

LIGHTER

Due to their lower dome, WaveCel hard hats are lighter and feel more stable for all-day comfort. Weight is further reduced by a variable-thickness shell design, optimized to balance strength and weight.

COOLER

Unlike insulating impact foams, WaveCel is 93% porous, allowing air to circulate freely through 93% of the WaveCel dome. WaveCel hard hats are available non-vented (T2⁺ PRO) and vented with top and rear vents (T2⁺ MAX) that provide a maximal venting area of 16 cm².
