THE game just changed.
The LIGHT Gladiator ATK leverages cutting-edge military and tech innovations, including 3D printing, to deliver next-gen head protection for elite athletes. Weighing as little as 3.5 lbs, it's the first helmet to prioritize superior performance through weight reduction.
NFL Approved & TRUSTED BY THE BEST
The Gladiator ATK has passed rigorous NFLPA/NFL testing and is an NFLPA/NFL "Recommended Helmet" for the 2024-25 season. Used in 28 of 32 NFL locker rooms, it features advanced 3D pads within a flexible lattice for optimized shock absorption, unmatched comfort, and protection. The Gladiator is poised to revolutionize head protection for elite athletes.
DURABLE 3D PRINTED MATERIALS WITH KOLLIDE TECH
We partnered with KOLLIDE, who won two NFL grants through the NFL Helmet Challenge to develop our unique 3D-printed liners. These liners use geometric shapes to attenuate both lighter and heavier impacts and can be customized for player-specific protection based on position-specific impacts. This collaboration results in helmets that are not only lighter but also perform better from a safety perspective and are resizable.
PROTECTIVE NETWORK OF MATERIALS
The Gladiator combines patented 3D pads with a flexible lattice for optimal shock absorption, offering unprecedented comfort and a custom fit with LIGHT’s Radial Fitment Pads.
LIGHTWEIGHT FACE MASKS
Chromoly, titanium, or stainless steel... We choose the best materials to manufacture the strongest masks that are light and also keep perimeter mass to a minimum.
NYLON SHELL
Our unique nylon shell was designed as part of a system versus being a simple styling exercise. The material, shape, thickness, and venting integrates with the internals of the Gladiator to maximize the performance in terms of impact, comfort, reduction in temperature, and performance.
WHAT ABOUT YOUTH AND HIGH SCHOOL?
The Light Gladiator was designed and optimized with the impact speeds outlined in the NFLPA/NFL protocol and not optimized for the youth or high school player.
The speeds and kinetic energy experienced on the NFL field are far higher than what a young athlete will be subjected to. We encourage you to consider the LIGHT LS2 helmet family. These helmets have been meticulously tested, are Virginia Tech Five Star Rated, NOCSAE approved, and offer the lowest weights of helmets currently available (2.7 – 3.5lbs). LIGHT LS2s are designed to provide optimal protection and performance for youth and high school players, making it an excellent choice for your athlete.
