We Give Back

Giving Back

RinkSmart was built to protect people — on the ice and beyond. We believe a company should stand for something bigger than its product.

We're committed to supporting organizations that protect children and fight human trafficking around the world. As we grow, so does our ability to give back. This isn't a marketing strategy — it's a core part of who we are and why we started this company.

More details on our charitable partnerships coming soon.

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.
