will this headband prevent concussions?

The concussions section on www.yatahoy.com (Jack's Soccer Page) is a good, fairly quick read on the subject.

Nothting is for sure, but logically from my engineering background anything that slows the rate of deceleration (any type of cushioning will work) will result in less force to the head, whether that is enough to prevent a concussion is unknown to me and has not been proven as far as I know.

It definitely helps. I had a head to head collision with a teammate and it made a massive difference. I think my teammate would have suffered a cracked skull if I didn't have it on.

I would never guarantee 100% protection. It just helps cushion the impact. We just got them for our whole HS soccer team. The girls complained at first but got use to them fast. My kid has had multiple concussion in the past without product. Hasn't since using but is also more aware to make better choices when to use her head. It can be a reminder to not use head if you don't have to as well.

Nothing can totally prevent concussions. Football helmets, Safer barriers in auto racing, etc. But these things, including this headband, can reduce the change of a concussion. A high forehead to high forehead hit in soccer (not uncommon) will be much less dangerous with this one - and even more so if both players had one on. But at the end of the day it depends on the total energy and direction of hits and while padding will absorb some of the energy, it cannot take all of it. My daughter plays soccer and I got her this after a concussion (and after being cleared to play by doc and by our own observation). It makes me feel a little better and I think it gave her confidence to go out there and play Nothing can totally prevent concussions.

If your helmet has a standard 3.5 mm audio plug that works with typical audio devices, smartphones, mp3 players, etc, it will work fine.

It attaches to the helmet using velcro pieces. I suppose if you can attach the velcro piece to any helmet it should work.

Haven't tried it, but it's not likely. It covers your whole forehead, and wraps around clear back to your ears. It would conflict with the helmet across the whole front half of your head.

Yes, it works. I use it on my head every two weeks. It works great everytime.

Yes it will, mine is on a half helmet. You lose some of the sound as the speakers are not directly next to your ears but it seems to filter out the voice from the air rushing past when using the cell phone. Mind you it's not ideal but it does work well for me.

it can but its not curved to fit your head. you would need to use a thick padding.

It should work using the curve plates that come with the package on helmets. Suction cup mount would be too intrusive in my opinion. Another option for helmets would be using the head strap mount.

Personal Safety Protection. This headset slightly pinches on the clip side. But, I've got a big head, so that may be a factor.

It could, but I am sure it is not reccomended.the rigid helmet's inner padding is designed for full protection, no manufacturer would reccomend wearing both

Short answer "no" it will not protect you in any way from a bump. The crown of the cap is strong/thin/elastic mesh that breathes to keep a sweaty head cooler. No protection afforded at all - I use mine under a logger's helmet to ease the helmet on/off - keep hair out of my face - and the sweatband to keep sweat out of my eyes. Hope this answer helps you.

It stays on pretty well...it has straps that attach together to fit around your head. I've never had any issues with it staying put. :-)

Likely. My sons are wearing goggles and a mesh face mask. Guess it would depend on if your mask covers the forehead area.

This does have a good clamping force and should stay on your head for most regular activities (not extreme). However, these are not in any way waterproof or even water resistant. Moreover, the materials will soak up any moisture and eventually start smelling and eventually for if the electronics do not go out first. You might want to try something like the plantronics backbeat fit for workouts.

I would believe so. The base of the unit is secured to the helmet with a strong glue like substance. The units are pretty small and slide into the base unit for use.

I haven't run with it, but it has a hat clip that looks as if it would secure firmly. I would guess that the headband would also accommodate as the unit is quite light.

I believe they will. I got them for a teenager who wears a helmet I can wear. My head is probably medium.
