HELMET TECHNOLOGY

Helmet Tech

Imagine a customized helmet, taylor made to your head. Or even better: An autofitting system, which self-adapts to the shape of your skull. Thanks to the ARC and our “VACO 12 TECHNOLOGY”, this theory became reality: The traditional inner foam padding got replaced by a selfadapting vacuum cushion, filled with expanded polypropylene balls in conjunction with a rigid shell. By putting the helmet onto your head, you automatically press out the air and evacuate the cushion. The balls can’t move anymore, your helmet is moulded around your head. A perfectly fitting helmet is not only more comfortable, but also a lot safer.

The secret lies of our PLASMA HELMET in the round beads: The flowing motion of the helmet filling prevents pressure points and provide perfect fit. Unlike conventional helmets the beads don´t forward the impact energy into the inner core but distribute it – according to its natural flow – towards the outside. This technology has already been proven in medical science and now can finally be found in the sporting goods industry.


THE VACO 12 PRINCIPLE
At maximum dilation, every globe has 12 contact points with its neighbouring globes. These 12 contact points pass on the energy multi-dimensionally to the next 12 globes.
The weakened energy is then passed again on via another 12 contact points and so on... Energy is not transferred in a linear way, but in all directions along random load inverters, until the energy is absorbed by friction and deformation of the vaco globes.		 VACO 12
VACO 12 TRANSMISSION OF FORCE
With VACO12, forces are passed solely on via contact points to the neighbouring VACO12 Globes. In addition, some of the energy is transformed into thermal energy by the associated friction. The impact energy is reduced and distributed throughout a large area via millions of contact points. Contrary to traditional foam materials, the system only requires a little space. VACO12
CONVENTIONAL FOAMS
Traditional foam materials have a linear construction of comparably low density. In the event of an impact the material is compressed to a certain threshold value. Once this value is exceeded, the compressed foam material faces a massive amount of pressure, which is transferred instantly to the structure below, in a straight line. These materials have another clear disadvantage: Especially in cold temperatures, they quickly lose their absorbing properties, harden and become less effective for protective gear. absorbtion
THE VACO 12 EFFECT - IMPACT TEST
Lab tests show a clear difference in shock absorption, when compared with energy impacts onto conventional foams. VACO12 has advanced absorption properties that are not influenced by external circumstances. No matter what the temperature or humidity, VACO12 always guarantees maximum protection. stats
