“This is the first helmet design innovation that makes sense. The Cal Blitz was created with an understanding of how the developing skull protects the brain. Traditional helmets do not have the ability to diffuse the forces athletes experience. While the newest helmets represent significant improvements, they still lack the features necessary to provide maximum protection. I believe the Cal Blitz has the potential to become the helmet of choice of organized sports leagues at all levels.”
