Force Distribution

The H.I.P. Helmet is designed to shield heads from blast waves, shock waves, acoustic sound waves, and impact waves, providing a layer of protection in the most challenging environments.

H.I.P. was born
from experience

Tim Johnson | H.I.P. Founder

Founded by an NFL alum and participant in the NFL Helmet Challenge at Youngstown State University, H.I.P. was started to address the devastating effects of impact forces on the brain.

The H.I.P. Helmet was made to harness the designs of nature to help prevent Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Concussion (M-TBI), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), and other injury to the brain.
