THE HEADGEAR YOUR ATHLETES WILL ACTUALLY WANT TO WEAR.

Inside every GameBreaker headgear is D3O®, the same military-grade protection used in combat gear, motorcycle helmets, and NFL practice equipment. It stays soft and flexible during normal play, then instantly hardens upon impact to help disperse force away from the head. After impact, it returns to its flexible state, ready for the next play.

Virginia Tech rated. Fully customizable in 11 colors with three logo placement options. Lightweight, breathable, and machine washable. This is what protection looks like when it's designed specifically for high-impact sports.

HOW D3O® WORKS

The same molecular protection technology trusted by the military, NFL practice facilities, and first responders engineered into all GameBreaker headgear.

01 STARTS SOFT

Smart molecule technology keeps the headgear lightweight and comfortable at rest. No bulk. No compromise on feel.

02 REACTS ON IMPACT

The moment force hits, D3O® instantly hardens and disperses impact energy away from the skull. Reaction time: milliseconds.

03 RESETS INSTANTLY

After every hit, D3O® returns to its soft, flexible state ready to protect again on the very next play.
