Goldline Women's Head First Protective Curling Headgear: Po' Boy

Head First™

Falls happen to even the most seasoned curlers but don’t worry Goldline’s exclusive Head First™ protective headgear is specifically designed to reduce injury while incorporating popular styles.

The protective component is made of the same strong material as bicycle helmets - expanded polystyrene (EPS).

The EPS is sandwiched between a thin polycarbonate outer shell and an inner layer of foam - in the event of a fall deceleration is managed as the EPS is crushed.

Head First™ and CSA Approval?

There is currently no test standard specific to headgear that protects only in the event of a fall onto the back of the head. Biokinetics an Ottawa-based testing company suggested that the impact test from the CSA hockey helmet standard was the closest relevant test to simulate a fall to the ice. Therefore the impact test from the CSA ice hockey helmet standard was used to test the Head First™ line of products. The Head First™ headgear passed this impact test.
