The G8RTech Difference

Impact-Absorbing Polymer: Your New Safety Layer 

The G8RSkin Shiesty & Snow are designed to dissipate the energy of impacts and in doing so reduce the forces and accelerations experienced by the head during collisions. After a helmet bears the brunt of a collision and spreads the impact energy over an increased surface area, the G8RSkin products receive the remaining impact energy in a less localized collision. The G8RSkin temporarily hardens upon impact, dissipating the energy in the process, before returning to its pliable and flexible state before the athlete can even feel the difference. The G8RSkin products maximize this dissipation effect using proprietary materials and designs that allow it to maximize the effected surface area and take full advantage of its protective materials. As a result, the G8RSkin reduces the acceleration of the head as compared to the helmet alone, which is linked to reducing the risk of concussion and CTE.

How We Made the G8RSkin

The G8RSkinTM product line was developed using agile methodology, emphasizing a continuous cycle of testing, learning, and iterating. Extensive testing across multiple independent helmet labs and a multisport pilot program led to numerous design improvements. These enhancements, informed by athlete feedback and expert advice, ensured optimal protection and wearability. The final design was validated through rigorous testing at the Southern Impact Research Center (SIRC)* and field tests during Spring football, ahead of its May 2024 launch.

The above statement merely notes the location of testing and laboratory that produced a series of accelerometer and HARM values. All calculations and metrics were carried out by G8RTech based of the values produced, but these calculations and any accompanying claims do not represent the work or endorsement of Southern Impact Research Center.
