ERT (Energy Reduction Technology) incorporates soft advanced polymer pads into helmet designs to help manage both rotational and linear impact energy. ERT pads mitigate impact energy through both their unique material properties and their refined geometry.
Unlike most impact energy management materials, which do not deform and dissipate energy below a certain impact threshold, ERT responds instantly, even at low-impact levels commonly seen in many sports.
Mad Hatter uses ERT technology in our SKI and Snowboard Helmets, but what is ERT?
ERT™ performance is proven in global third-party testing labs including Dynamic Research, Inc. in Los Angeles, TASS in Holland and at the University of Strasbourg in France.
Overall, when combined with EPS foam, ERT™ demonstrated an 26% performance improvement in mitigating rotational impact and 30% improvement in managing linear impact vs EPS alone, and 16% and 29% respectively when compared to popular competitive energy management technology commonly used in Ski, Snowboard helmets and Downhill Mountain Bike Helmets.
