I’ve just discover this great thing… a woolen hat with sewn-in lightweight structure impact.
Ribcap was presented for the first time in 2005 as a world wide innovation.
This product offers all the advantages of a normal cap or beanie and can at the same time protect against bumps…
Using structure’s advanced lightweight technology, upon impact the structure material changes from a lightweight flexible material into a semi-rigid or fully rigid state depending on the size of the impact.
Fashionable and safe, these protective hats are better than wearing nothing and the next best thing to wearing a helmet.
They’ve been sponsorizing two paragliders; Chrigel Maurer and Thomas Theurillat on the X-Alps contest.
