VALOR Hockey Helmet (New In Box)

I bought two and decided to keep only one Make: Valor Hockey Model: Axiom Size: Senior Medium Condition: New in Box (taken out just for photos) Price is half of retail/online price Release notes: The Valor Axiom is a premium hockey helmet designed with an uncompromising focus on impact protection, fit, stability, and performance. Its standout feature is its 5-star rating from the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab, one of the most widely recognized independent helmet-testing programs. In Virginia Tech's adult hockey helmet testing, the Axiom earned an impressive STAR score of 0.43, ranking #6 out of 75 tested helmets. Virginia Tech's testing evaluates a helmet's ability to reduce both linear and rotational head acceleration during impacts modeled after those experienced in hockey. The Axiom combines this impact performance with a unique one-piece monoshell construction and Valor's Mi-Fit Stability System, designed to provide a secure, personalized fit while maintaining comfort during play. The helmet uses a lightweight, spherical shell engineered to disperse impact forces without unnecessary bulk.

Virginia Tech specifically describes its hockey ratings as an independent assessment of helmet performance. Note: No hockey helmet can prevent all concussions or head injuries. Virginia Tech's rating represents laboratory performance under specific impact conditions and should be considered alongside proper sizing, fit, and correct use.
