The Technology Inside Every Hat

Every RinkSmart/WinterSmart pad starts as flat PORON® XRD® foam, precision-cut to fit two very different zones of a the head.

The forehead/temple pad is thinner and less dense — 5mm at 12 lb/ft³ — shaped long and tapered to wrap comfortably across the brow without adding bulk.

The rear occipital pad is thicker and denser — 6mm at 15 lb/ft³ — arched to match the curve of the back of the skull, where falls on ice most often land.

Both pads are sewn permanently into the fabric shell — not tucked into a pocket you could forget to close, or lose on laundry day. Once it's in, it stays exactly where it's designed to work.
