"The Saints are one of 14 teams who will be using a disruptive new technology for helmets this season. LIGHT Helmets announced availability of LIGHT Gladiator for NFL clubs on Thursday morning, being named a recommended helmet by the league. New Orleans will be one of the first teams to trial and test the product, which is expected to add extra emphasis on player safety.
A standard helmet can be anywhere from 4-6 pounds, and the LIGHT Gladiator comes in under that and features ditching weight where it counts while still prioritizing safety."
