76 IN COLLABORATION WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA, CCM DEVELOPED A TESTING PROTOCOL TO MEASURE HOCKEY PLAYERS’ PERFORMANCE DROP DUE TO OVERHEATING DURING PLAY. RESULTS* SHOW PLAYERS WEARING AER-TEC EQUIPMENT NOT ONLY HAVE COOLER SKIN TEMPERATURE, BUT ALSO PERFORM BETTER (SKATE FASTER, MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS FASTER). *COMPARED TO PLAYERS WEARING TRADITIONAL HOCKEY EQUIPMENT IN THE SAME CONDITIONS. TECH 002 OPTIMAL AER-TEC THERMOREGULATION SYSTEM THROUGH FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS, OUR TEAM HAS OPTIMIZED THIS HELMET’S SHELL CONSTRUCTION FOR MAXIMUM AIR CIRCULATION, SWEAT EVAPORATION AND BODY TEMPERATURE REGULATION. IT FEATURES ENLARGED SHELL VENTS IN KEY LOCATIONS AT THE FRONT, TOP, AND REAR THAT ALLOW FRESH AIR TO PASS THROUGH THE NEST TECH FLUX, WHILE AER-TEC VENTILATION CHANNELS GUIDE THAT AIR THROUGHOUT. PLAYER-GENERATED HEAT AND MOISTURE IS ABLE TO BETTER ESCAPE UPWARDS AND OUT THROUGH THE NEW LATTICE DESIGN, HELPING CREATE THE NECESSARY CHIMNEY EFFECT WHILE YOU RECUPERATE ON THE BENCH. A MOISTURE-WICKING AER-TEC TOTALDRI SWEATBAND COMPLETES THE AER-TEC CYCLE, HELPING MANAGE SWEAT AT THE FOREHEAD, SO YOU CAN STAY DRY AND FOCUSED ON THE GAME. ULTRA-PREMIUM NEW SHELL DESIGN WITH ADPTFIT 360 PERFORMANCE, PROTECTION, AND COMFORT IN A SLEEK SHELL THAT FITS CLOSE-TO-THE HEAD. WITH THE ADPTFIT 360 ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM AT THE REAR, YOU ARE ABLE TO CUSTOMIZE THE LENGTH AND THE WIDTH IN ONE EASY STEP. WITH MODERN, RICH FINISHES TO FURTHER ELEVATE THE LOOK, EXPERIENCE A PREMIUM PRODUCT FROM START TO FINISH. TECH 004 T EC H 001 NEST TECH FLUX FEATURING CCM’S REVOLUTIONARY, NEW NEST TECH FLUX, A FULL COVERAGE 3D-PRINTED LINER CRAFTED FROM ADAPTIVE ELASTOMER. THIS NEW LATTICE STRUCTURE ENHANCES PLAYER PERFORMANCE BY PROMOTING AIRFLOW, BOTH HORIZONTALLY AND VERTICALLY, KEEPING THE PLAYER’S HEAD COOL WHILE SKATING AND BETWEEN SHIFTS. DESIGNED TO CONFORM TO THE PLAYER’S HEAD INSTANTLY TO ENHANCE COMFORT MANAGE HIGH AND LOWENERGY IMPACTS AT THE ELITE LEVEL OF PLAY. ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM AT THE REAR, YOU ARE ABLE TO CUSTOMIZE THE LENGTH AND THE WIDTH IN ONE EASY STEP. WITH MODERN, RICH FINISHES TO FURTHER ELEVATE THE LOOK, EXPERIENCE A PREMIUM PRODUCT FROM START TO FINISH. TECH 003 R3FLEX PROTECTION BENEATH THE NEST TECH FLUX IS A BASE LAYER OF R3FLEX PROTECTION, CCM’S INNOVATIVE 3-IN-1 FOAM WITH DYNAMIC RESPONSE TO ALL TYPES OF IMPACTS, ALSO HELPING IMPROVE OVERALL HEAD COMFORT AND CUSHIONING. TACKS XPRO HELMET INTRODUCING CCM’S NEXT-GENERATION HELMET THAT REDEFINES ELITE PERFORMANCE, THE TACKS X PRO. THIS HELMET DOESN’T JUST PROTECT - IT HELPS SHARPEN REACTION TIME*, REGULATE ENERGY OUTPUT, AND KEEP ELITE PLAYERS IN PEAK CONDITION WHEN MILLISECONDS MATTER. YOU WILL LOOK AND FEEL INCREDIBLE AS THIS HELMET BREATHES WITH YOU AND ENHANCES YOUR GAME FROM PUCK DROP TO OVERTIME. CCM’S INDUSTRY-LEADING TEAM OF ENGINEERS, PRODUCT MANAGERS AND DESIGNERS ARE FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING HELMETS THAT ARE SAFE. SCIENTISTS INDICATE THAT BRAIN INJURIES AND CONCUSSIONS ARE MAINLY DUE TO LINEAR AND ROTATIONAL ACCELERATIONS OF THE BRAIN BUT SCIENCE HAS YET TO REACH A CONSENSUS ON THE QUESTION. NO HOCKEY HELMET CAN PREVENT OR ELIMINATE THE RISK OF HEAD INJURY, INCLUDING CONCUSSIONS A B S O R P T I O N E V A P O R A T I O N R E G U L A T I O N
