Rethinking Helmet Design:

At NXL Technologies, Inc., we are not just iterating on old ideas—we are redefining them. Our Tech platform is built on a revolutionary data table that challenges the outdated methods used in helmet design for over a century. With this new system, we are creating tomorrow’s technology, today.

A Brief History of Football Headgear

1896 – George “Rose” Barclay, a Lafayette College halfback, first introduced head straps and earpieces to protect against ear injuries.
1903 – Soft, thin padded leather helmets were created to guard against “cauliflower ear.”
1930s – Slightly improved leather helmets offered marginal protection.
Post-WWII – Hard leather helmets emerged but remained inadequate.
1940s–1950s – Plastic helmets were introduced to the NFL, becoming the new standard. Over time, padding and comfort improved.
Present Day – Helmets are still plastic-based, enhanced with electronics to monitor impacts and potential concussions.

While helmet engineering has advanced, one critical factor has never been addressed: size design. From the very beginning, manufacturers have been relying on flawed formulas and outdated assumptions about helmet dimensions.

The Hidden Problem: Wrong Sizing, Wrong Safety

For more than a century, helmet design has focused on materials and electronics—but not geometry. None of the historical evolutions in headgear considered the proper proportional sizing required to maximize both protection and performance. This oversight has left players—from Pop Warner to the NFL—at risk of the very injuries helmets were supposed to prevent.

The result: head trauma continues to plague athletes across every level of football—youth leagues, high schools, semipro, arena leagues, college football, and the NFL.

The NXL Solution

We re-engineering helmets from the ground up. Our new data table introduces a corrective sizing methodology that recalibrates helmet dimensions to better absorb and redistribute impact forces. Combined with our patented impact-reduction technologies, this approach represents a paradigm shift in sports safety.

No longer will helmet design be based on outdated assumptions. Instead, athletes will benefit from a system rooted in precision, biomechanics, and real-world testing.

WarClips™ System

A breakthrough in helmet stability and vibration control.

C-Clips – A next-generation attachment device engineered to reduce face mask detachment.
C-Flex Housing – Solid, flexible housing that encapsulates the inner liner.
C-Plate – A stronger, flexible liner that extends the full length of the clip.
C-Shock – A shock-reduction component that decreases vibration and enhances helmet integrity.

Benefit: Greater durability, less equipment failure, and improved athlete safety during high-impact collisions.

WarDamper™ & WarShield™ Systems

Impact absorption + rotational force reduction.

Patent-pending WarDamper™ can absorb up to 150 lbs of impact per damper.
Integrated into the WarShield™ Face Mask System, which deforms under excessive force—absorbing energy while signaling the need for medical evaluation.
Trainers and coaches gain a built-in diagnostic indicator when a helmet has sustained critical impact.

Benefit: Athletes are better protected, trainers get actionable insights, and organizations gain a record-keeping tool for safer play.

Mohawk™ System Series

A universal inner core that mimics the biomechanics of the human head.

Three-layer T-Cell design: X-BioVertical + L-BioHorizontal + inner shock-absorbing layer.
Provides neck stabilization, improving balance, mobility, and visibility.
Reduces whiplash and blindside injury risk, particularly for quarterbacks.
Universally adaptable to other helmet designs on the market.

Benefit: Enhances both safety and performance by aligning equipment with the body’s natural mechanics.

BASE™ BioSensor Platform (Software + Hardware Integration)

A four-layer software and sensor system monitoring athletes in real time.

Tracks brain activity, blood pressure, oxygen levels, heart rate, body temperature, fatigue, and stress levels.
Delivers live data to coaches, trainers, doctors, and parents.
Provides actionable insights to bench injured players before damage worsens.
Adaptable beyond sports: construction, aviation, military, law enforcement, and logistics.

Benefit: A scalable solution that transforms safety monitoring in sports, industry, and first-response environments.

Optimist™ Helmet Series

The next generation of position-specific helmet technology.

20-Series – Balanced impact distribution with the Mohawk System™ core.
30-Series – Designed for offensive positions, featuring enhanced whiplash protection for quarterbacks.
40-Series – Defensive-position helmet that stabilizes neck and head engagement on the line of scrimmage.
50-Series – Bio-data integrated, with forehead and neck sensors monitoring electrical brain activity in real time.

Benefit: Athletes gain personalized, data-driven protection tailored to their position, while medical staff receive continuous health monitoring.
