Ice Hockey Helmets - An Essential Piece of Protective Equipment

2024-01-30

Ice Hockey Helmets are a necessary piece of equipment for players of all ages who are playing the game of ice hockey. Given the potential for fatal head injuries, especially amongst younger players, choosing the right helmet for protection is essential.


What are the materials of Ice Hockey Helmet?

Ice Hockey Helmets are typically constructed from either EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) or VN (Dual Density Vinyl Nitrile). EPP is a black foam that is harder and more rigid, making it ideal for professional-level helmets that require a tighter fit around the player's head. In contrast, VN foam is typically tan, grey, or black, with a softer, more malleable composition making it ideal for non-professional level helmets.


What are the construction and materials of Ice Hockey Helmet?

Ice Hockey Helmets are built with a low-temperature-resistant, impact-resistant polypropylene engineering plastic shell, with high-impact resistance, high-toughness EPP polypropylene plastic foaming material and a high-flexibility, breathable PU polyurethane lining. The GY-V10000 eyepiece has a uniquely designed "shark mouth" ice hockey guard and a strong visual impact. The Ice Hockey Helmet's lenses are made of imported high-impact PC polycarbonate material and are effective in resisting high-impact collisions and impacts.


What are the rules for using Ice Hockey Helmet?

Different age levels may have different rules regarding the use of Ice Hockey Helmets. For instance, players under the age of 18 must wear a full-face shield that covers the face. Players over 18 years old may wear a half-face shield that covers only the eyes and nose. Players over the age of 35 may play without a face shield.
