The manufacturers at Unequal are doing some impressive things with their sports headgear to make it the safest and sturdiest on the market. The Halo, Unequal’s top of the line soccer product, uses military-grade materials like Kevlar, Acceleron and Tridur that handle impact shock and blunt force trauma better than almost all the other headgear out there.
The hype surrounding the Unequal Halo is not all talk. Esquire voted the Halo as the #1 Tech Innovation and ESPN named it one of its Top 15 Technology Innovations in Sports. More importantly, however, it has got the backing of some of the major enterprises that matter when it comes to players’ health. The National Federation of State High School Associations alongside the American Society for Testing and Materials has given the Halo 10mm the stamp of approval for meeting its standards. Scientific studies (e.g. Di Virgilio et. al, 2016) and neurosurgeons too have touted the benefits for players who wear the Halo as compared to those who wear no protective gear at all.
To add to the already impressive list of reasons why to get a Halo, it’s also sleek and comfortable unlike a lot of the other bulky products with a similar goal. The headband comes in 3 different colors and costs between $40-50 depending on the model.
While it cannot guarantee protection against concussions, the Unequal Halo is one of the best steps you can take to minimize impact and provide a sense of safety all while not distracting you from your game.
