Defend Your Head, based in Chester Springs, PA, specializes in innovative helmet technology designed to reduce head injuries in contact sports, military, and industrial settings. The company has developed a patented soft shell protective helmet called the ProCap, which enhances the protective capabilities of existing helmets. Unlike traditional helmets that primarily focus on internal padding, the ProCap utilizes a unique design that absorbs and dissipates energy, reduces the speed of impact, and deflects glancing blows. Independent lab tests have demonstrated its effectiveness in minimizing sports-related injuries. The ProCap is customizable in color, compatible with decals, and resistant to extreme temperatures, offering advantages over competitor products. Founded in 2013 after a merger that built upon earlier technology developed by private investors and physicians, Defend Your Head is led by John Roman, a former NFL player, alongside Frank Lytle, an experienced product designer, and Greg Lewis, a finance and marketing professional. The company anticipates launching its product in the market in late summer.
