We’re proud to share that our latest innovation - the Apache Pro - has been recognized as the top-performing new helmet tested in 2025 for quarterbacks in the NFLPA/NFL’s annual helmet testing results. Even more impressive? It ranked #2 overall in the QB category, going head-to-head with dozens of models from across the industry.
This recognition marks another major milestone for LIGHT Helmets and reinforces our commitment to building the lightest, safest, and most advanced helmets on the field.
Also earning top marks is our Gladiator Thunder, which ranked #2 for Offensive Linemen, showcasing our continued success across position-specific testing categories.
Both helmets share the LIGHT DNA - cutting-edge materials, impact-absorbing innovation, and ultra-lightweight builds that reduce neck fatigue and enhance performance without compromising protection.
“Player safety isn’t just a priority - it’s the foundation of everything we do.”
– Nick Esayian, CEO of LIGHT Helmets
As the NFL continues to raise the bar for helmet performance, we’re proud to be leading the way with new technologies that put players first, from youth leagues to the pros.
