HITTSHIELD

No product can guarantee concussion prevention. Concussions can happen even with helmets and extra padding. The Defender Pro is designed to reduce the force of head impacts — especially both linear and rotational — which may help lower concussion risk, but it does not make players immune.  

Independent lab testing shows the Defender Pro’s non-Newtonian NDF™ material absorbs and disperses more impact energy than some other skull caps. In controlled tests, it significantly reduced the forces that reach the head. That’s a good sign — but lab results don’t always translate perfectly to game situations.  

Sports are unpredictable. Concussions can come from hits to the body, awkward falls, or multiple smaller hits over time — not just one direct head impact. Field studies on other headgear have shown mixed results. That’s why the Defender Pro should be part of a layered approach, not the only safety measure.  

Any player in contact or collision sports — football, soccer, lacrosse, hockey, rugby — can benefit from extra impact reduction. It’s thin, light, and fits under most helmets, so it doesn’t require equipment changes.  

The Defender Pro offers tested impact reduction, fits easily under helmets, and is low-cost compared to other safety gear. It’s worth considering as part of a broader concussion-risk reduction plan — but should be paired with education, safe play, and strict return-to-play protocols.  

• Despite top-level helmets and medical care, concussions remain a major threat to athletes’ health and career longevity.
