The Technology Behind 2nd Skull

2nd Skull XRD Technology

A few months ago, we announced the launch of our new safety-focused products — 2nd Skull Protective Headgear. 2nd Skull offers superior protection for all players in all sports

2nd Skull products are scientifically engineered to reduce impact. 

How is this possible? XRD Technology.

Every 2nd Skull product comes with a thin layer of lightweight XRD. XRD is made from special urethane molecules that are soft and flexible at rest but can instantaneously harden, helping to mitigate the effects of sudden impacts. The thin, lightweight and breathable Skull Cap form fits to your head’s unique shape without compromising comfort and agility.

Scientifically Proven Results.

Linear Impact and Projectile Testing was performed at an independent third party laboratory to prove the added protection that 2nd Skull offers. Below we’ve included charts and graphs to display the testing data by sport – football, lacrosse, baseball and hockey. 

NOTE: Tests adhere to NOCSAE and ASTM standards for new helmet testing.
