“Research published in the February 2006 issue of Neurosurgery reveals that players wearing the Riddell Revolution were 31% less likely to suffer a concussion than those wearing a traditional football helmet. The study; conducted by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, evaluated more than 2,000 high school football players over a 3 year period to determine the rate of concussions for players wearing Riddells new Revolution helmet versus traditional helmets.

The helmet design was based on extensive research funded by NFL charities. Since the launch of the Revolution, over 3/4 of a million football players have made the switch.
Now the best just got better.
Introducing the Riddell Revolution IQ helmet which combines advanced fitting and a quick-release face guard attachment.
The ideal fit liner system provides unsurpassed comfort and stability by a specially engineered inflation system that when inflated, pivots the true curve back-pad and cradling the rear of the head.
Combined with true curve front padding technology, ideal fit delivers the comfort and security that players demand.
In addition, the Revolution IQ offers a patented quick-release face-guard attachment system. This allows for rapid and easy player access by simply releasing 2 pins.
The combination of these 2 new technologies is the latest offering in state of the art football head protection pioneered by Riddell.
In 2005, Riddell introduced the head impact telemetry system, or H.I.T.S. as part of the revolutionary sideline response system.
The HITS equipped helmet uses on-board sensors and computing power to capture, record, and measure head impact acceleration.
Using wireless technology and special software, data is then transmitted real-time to a sideline computer, giving certified athletic trainers and team doctors extra eyes on the field.
Leading universities, including Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Dartmouth, and many more are using the side line response system for the 2007 college football season.
Now Riddell is offering the same technology previously available as part of the integrated side line response system in an individual helmet.
Introducing, the Revolution IQ HITS. The first individual helmet that has all of the benefits of the Riddell Revolution IQ, plus it monitors and records every significant incident of head impact sustained during a football game or practice.
The system measures the location, magnitude, duration, and direction of head acceleration.
The Revolution IQ HITS brings the field to the training room or home.
Impact data, stored by the helmet, is easy to upload to your P.C.
A simple, interactive web-based application analyzes the data, identifies suspect impacts and then provides a clear call-to action.
Since 1929, Riddells proud history has been built on our passionate quest to improve athlete protection and out drive to advance state of the art technologies in athletic equipment.
This tradition continues with the new Revolution IQ.”
