What helmet does Tennessee’s Nico Iamaleava wear? How did the $899 gear break during the college football playoff game?

In the opener of Ohio State vs. Tennessee’s CFB Playoff game Ohio State linebacker Cody Simon delivered a big hit that cracked Nico Iamaleava’s helmet. The incident happened during a 3rd down when Iamaleava hit Simon in the head, causing an obvious crack in his helmet. The event drew attention to the players’ use of protective equipment and the physical aspects of the game. Now, bet you’re wondering what helmet Tennessee’s Nico Iamaleava sports, right?

Well, for the latest fight he will be wearing the VICIS ZERO2 helmet instead of the Riddell SpeedFlex. One of the best helmets available is the VICIS ZERO2, which is specially made for improved safety and performance. It has a flexible outer shell that effectively absorbs impact forces. In addition to being 15% lighter than its predecessor, this model’s DLTA pod system allows for a customized fit, improving comfort and protection for individual athletes. The question now arises: how much does it cost?

This is a growing tale, but we know everything.
