First-Ever Safety Football Chinstrap
FLEX SoftShox Chinstrap
The Problem
Nearly half of head impacts occur to the facemask and the NFL reports those impacts account for 44% of concussions. Not surprising when players are taught to tackle “head up” to avoid neck injuries. While on average helmets are improving, digging past the headlines reveals facemask impacts traditionally underperform.
Our Answer
FLEX SoftShox Chinstrap
The first and only safety chinstrap, reducing HARM by up to 35%. Designed by our engineers and equipped with SoftShox hydraulic pads you can see working through “the window”, this chinstrap is comfortable and integrates with every major football helmet model.
How It Works
Facemask impacts push the helmet backward, pulling on the chinstrap which pulls on the chin, accelerating the head backward. The chinstrap positions SoftShox hydraulic pads at the base of the chin to disperse that energy, reducing HARM by up to 35%.
Benefits
Tested against commercially-available chinstraps from all major brands across a range of common impacts, this chinstrap sets a new standard for protection.
