This amazing 'Ice Breaker' video demonstrates the amazing properties of RHEON™ - the unique smart-material from which our shin pads are made. The RHEON™ in our Pro.S1 Elite absorbs the impact energy in 2 ways:1. Molecular - ever tried to put 2 similar poles of a magnet 🧲 together? They repel each other. When the molecules in RHEON™ are forced together, they repel each other too. The more strain you put the material under, the harder the material becomes. Rheon Labs refer to RHEON™ as a 'strain-sensitive' material2. Geometry - by shaping RHEON™ in highly sophisticated ways, engineers create small, unique, energy-absorbing impact cells within the shin pad. Much l egg boxes, springs, crumple zones in cars - some materials can be shaped to absorb loads far greater than once would expect.Combine impact absorbing geometry with a unique strain-sensitive material, mix in some very clever designers and engineers and you get some real magic happening! A flexible shin pad that hardens instantly on impact.
