Stop by, discover what’s new, and let’s explore how we can shape the future of protection together.    See you at #EICMA    #rethinkpossible

Ruroc x RHEON™ The RG2 full-face snowsports helmet. We worked with UK helmet innovators Ruroc in their development of the RG2 - a helmet designed for real-life impacts and a move-on from their RG1 model. Utilising our algorithmic design techniques and state-of-the-art test facilities, we engineered unique RHEON™ structured pods to behave like reactive suspension beneath the shell. This development offers advanced rotational and linear impact protection that dynamically adapts to different impact scenarios, significantly reducing the risk of head injury. Historically, helmet testing focused on linear impact, not taking into account the rotational impact which is a common contributing factor in head injuries. We went above and beyond existing ski certification standards by looking at linear and rotational energy across both low and high energy impacts. The dynamic and strain-rate sensitive qualities of RHEON™ means it remains soft at low energies - absorbing slight knocks and hits, stiffening up to absorb high-energy impacts in the event of a big fall or collision. From Roman Chaika, our Head of Technology - "it's been really rewarding to work on the refresh of the iconic RG1 helmet and elevate the real-life safety of the product together with the team at Ruroc. Going all the way from analysis of snow accidents to creating a truly bespoke protective solution together" #RethinkPossible The RG2 collection is available now - https://lnkd.in/eWAQQ8RK

VENTETE x RHEON™ Last week our team supported Ventete at the London Design Festival launch pop-up for their aH-1 helmet. The ‘Take a Deep Breath’ exhibit showcased the impressive design and development story behind the innovative helmet system. Team RHEON™ were on hand to chat to visitors about the inclusion of RHEON™ within the helmets internal padding - using our non-Newtonian polymer to enhance rotational impact protection - and designed for maximum air flow, aiding comfort and coolness. From Luke Hillery, our Senior Product Developer... “It was great to be featured in Ventete's first pop-up exhibition as part of the London Design Festival. We are incredibly proud to see our technology displayed as a part of Ventete's 10-year innovation journey and it was a great opportunity to explain how RHEON™ technology is making helmets safer to all curious commuters, design enthusiasts and cyclists that attended.” #RethinkPossible #LondonDesignFestival

The Ventete aH-1 Helmet, featuring RHEON™ VENTETE makes products for contemporary movement. Their aH-1 helmet is the first in the brand’s lineup of high-performance products that aim to elevate the extraordinary in the ordinary... They began with a technical design focus to create a helmet that could fold down and fit in your pocket, then reinflate with a small pump. Refined over years of comprehensive impact testing and independently assessed by HEAD Lab at Imperial College London, we partnered with Ventete on the aH-1 to create a RHEON™ liner comprised of multiple collapsing pods created from our non-Newtonian impact polymer. The technology is designed to control rotational motion, enhancing impact protection. The helmet's structure is less insulative than conventional foam helmets, keeping you cooler by allowing heat to dissipate into the surrounding environment. The RHEON™ liner aids this design, adapting to the shape & surface of the head, allowing air to flow unrestricted over your head. Discover more here - https://lnkd.in/ePCcMpjk #RethinkPossible

What do poorly fitted sports bras & F1 drivers have in common? Research has shown that breasts can move up to 19cm when not supported during running, the same G force as an F1 driver. One of the biggest challenges for women in sport is how to get the right levels of support required for high-intensity exercise without compromising comfort? ‘RHEON is unique because it is dynamic, so it’s very soft when you’re not very active and it becomes stiffer as your intensity of activity grows. What's more, we can design patterns to block very specific types of motion and to control both lateral and vertical displacement of breast tissue’ - Olga Kravchenko, Head of Design at RHEON LABS. RHEON™ enables women to be comfortable during everyday moments whilst being supported when you need it most, absorbing over 3x more energy than conventional fabrics used in sports bras.

Step into the future of sports bras. Created to empower women to experience sport without restraint, made for runners everywhere. Strips of the highly strain-rate sensitive RHEON™ polymer are strategically placed across the bust and straps of the bra. The RHEON™ strips adapt to support your breasts in high-intensity movements, to give you support exactly when you need it most, while remaining flexible and unrestrictive when relaxed. RHEON™ solves one of the hardest challenges in a sports bras – how can you get the support required for high-intensity movements without compromising comfort?

72% of women around the world experience pain whilst exercising. For women all around the world who make up that statistic, running has been synonymous with pain from sports bras - feeling scared to stride out due to feeling unsupported, or feeling over-compressed and suffocated with stitch marks digging into them at every point. A sports bra is the single most important piece of apparel for women, yet women’s needs have been underserved for decades when it comes to sports bras designed to support the female form. Research has shown that breasts can move up to 19cm when not supported during running, the same G force as an F1 driver, whilst over 90% of women are wearing a sports bra that doesn’t fit them properly. We came together with adidas to do something about this age-old problem. Discover the tech behind the future of sports bras - https://lnkd.in/eXHqW-FH adidas x RHEON LABS
