New, safer helmets may be on the horizon for NFL teams. To date, 25 teams have purchased the new ZERO1 helmet from Vicis to try out in practices this offseason.
The ZERO1 has some key features to improve safety and functionality like:
a pliable outer layer
an impact-absorbing core layer
the multiple layers work together to slow impact forces
mitigate collisions from multiple directions
elevates performance by featuring the widest field of peripheral view and low aerodynamic drag.
A few players may test the helmet in actual games this season. It’s also worth noting that Jerry Rice, Tony Dorsett, Roger Staubach, and others are members of the Vicis advisory team.
