WaveCel Science
Driven by Science
People believe that most helmets are created equal.
They are not…
- Most hardhats
- Rely on air space protection
- Air space between the IMPACT and YOU
- Top crown offers zonal barrier
- Linear impact protection
- WaveCel
- 360° Impact protection
- WaveCel engineered to absorb LINEAR and ROTATIONAL impact
- WaveCel innovation - Flex, Crumple & Glides
- Safeguards across the whole hard hat
What drives us
Traumatic Brain Injury
TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) amounts to as much as $76 Billion in annual costs in lost wages and productivity in the USA.
Coronado VG et. Journal of Safety Research, 2012
80% of TBI comes from either a fall or blow to the head (as shown in graphic).

Hard hats are the first line of defense against TBI for workers today.

“If rotational acceleration is the cause of brain injury, how does the helmet
protect the brain?”
Professor Albert I. King
According to a NIOSH study, Industrial/Construction face some of the highest
risks for Traumatic Brain Injuries.

The facts
Driven by Data
Over 80% of TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) come from either a fall or a blow to the head. 53% of which are below 6 feet.
ISHN / Industrial Safety & Hygiene News
It’s critical that the helmet you are wearing reduces the force of the blow no matter what the angle.
Higher rotational accelerations carry a greater risk of causing brain injury.

WaveCel system - up to 73% more absorption of rotational force than a standard helmet.

The WaveCel system is exceptional at mitigating rotational forces that cause brain injury in real-world settings.
Science with style
Never Compromise
- Most hardhats
- Reasearched in the USA
- Designed in the USA
- Engineered in the USA
- Sourced in the USA
- Made in the USA
Rigorously tested internally, and confirmed by independent outside labs.
In a recent scientific study, WaveCel hard hats reduced rotational forces by up to 68%, yielding up to 10 times lower predicted concussion risk compared to a standard Type 2 hard hat.
