Rawlings’ NRG Quantum Plus™ Football Helmet Earns Top Safety Rating

Rawlings’ NRG Quantum Plus™ football helmet has received a 5-star rating from Virginia Tech.

The NRG Quantum Plus™ helmet features Rawlings’ Active Impact Absorption (AIA™) and Heat Exchange™ technologies. It also offers a larger offset with increased Custom Comfort Cushion (C3™) performance in high-impact areas.

The three work together to transfer force and heat away from the athlete’s head while actively and passively absorbing impact without structural breakdown to the lightweight absorption system.

In addition to ranking the NRG Quantum Plus™ helmet, the 2012 Virginia Tech Helmet Ratings™ tested 14 other adult football helmets. The NRG Quantum Plus™ was one of just three to receive 5 stars, awarded because it provides a reduction in concussion risk compared to other helmets.

Rawlings’ NRG Quantum Plus™ is NOCSAE certified.

Additional features are:

• Durable surlyn facemask clips

• Carbon steel wire facemask

• High-impact performance polycarbonate shell

• Stainless steel hardware

Rawlings’ NRG Quantum Plus™ football helmets are available in adult sizes S, M and L and in 16 colors.

Facemasks are included but can also be purchased separately. Small and medium helmets use a regular facemask; large helmets use an XL facemask.

WARNING: NO HELMET CAN PREVENT ALL HEAD OR ANY NECK INJURIES A PLAYER MIGHT RECEIVE WHILE PARTICIPATING IN FOOTBALL. Do not use this helmet or faceguard to butt, ram, or spear an opposing player. This is in violation of football rules and such case can result in severe head or neck injuries, paralysis or death to you and possible injury to your opponent. Contact in football may result in CONCUSSION/BRAIN INJURY which no helmet can prevent. Symptoms include: loss of consciousness or memory, dizziness, headache, nausea, or confusion. If you have symptoms, immediately stop playing and report them to your coach, trainer, doctor and parents.  Do not return to a game or practice until all symptoms have resolved for an extended period of time and you have received written MEDICAL CLEARANCE. Ignoring this warning may lead to additional and more serious or fatal brain injury including potentially fatal second impact syndrome. No helmet system can protect you from serious brain and/or neck injuries including paralysis or death. To avoid these risks, do not engage in the sport of football.

Rawlings’ Adult Football Helmets Are at the Head of the Class

All three of Rawlings’ adult-sized football helmets have received high marks for their ability to reduce the risk of concussions.

Rawlings’ NRG Quantum™ Plus helmet received the top rating of 5 stars in a Virginia Tech study. Rawlings’ NRG Quantum™ and NRG Impulse helmets each received 4 stars.

The Virginia Tech Helmet Ratings™ were conducted by Dr. Stefan Duma, professor of biomedical engineering and head of the Virginia Tech-Wake Forest School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences.

According to the Virginia Tech release, “the process used for evaluating the head protector involves performing 120 impacts on each helmet model at multiple locations and impact energies.”  Each helmet’s assessment is then compared to data collected from more than 1.8 million head impacts experiences by football players in an 8-year span.

"As an industry leader, Rawlings appreciates Dr. Duma's and Virginia Tech's efforts on measuring helmet performance," Art Chou, Rawlings' senior vice president of product development, told The New York Times. "We are constantly working to improve our helmet performance, and we appreciate all approaches that make these improvements easier for consumers to understand."
