Research findings in the sector of head borne architectures.
Weekly Helmet Technology Trends Report: 2026-06-01 Executive summary This was another standards and integration week rather than a breakthrough platform week. The useful signals are practical: the NFL facemask challenge has passed its submission deadline, FIM FRHPhe-02 is being reinforced through live event reminders, Shoei has a Japan-market FRHPhe-02 version of its flagship racing helmet … Read more
Weekly Helmet Technology Trends Report: 2026-05-25 Executive summary This was a watchlist-update week rather than a major launch week. The strongest design signals are all about systems integration: facemasks and add-ons as impact pathways, FRHPhe-02 traceability and size-specific homologation, construction helmets being rated against oblique fall scenarios, and smart helmets shifting toward worker-safety sensing rather … Read more
Weekly Helmet Technology Trends Report: 2026-05-18 Executive summary This week’s scan did not surface a major new helmet platform launch, but it did surface several useful technical signals for design work: stronger evidence scrutiny around rotational-impact claims, standards movement toward broader impact scenarios, industrial PPE migration toward Type II safety helmets, and an emerging facemask-impact … Read more
Weekly Helmet Technology Trends Report: 2026-05-11 Executive summary This first weekly scan found meaningful activity in standards, rotational-impact business consolidation, smart-sensor caution, lattice manufacturing, and circularity, but relatively few genuinely new technical product launches during the week itself. The strongest current signal is that helmet safety technology is becoming more system-level: standards are adding rotational … Read more
