      i noticed a padded overhelmet, which players are allowed to opt for. i also noticed some outershell features you didn’t used to see prior to Virginia Tech’s STAR system

        I wondered what that helmet covering was on some players, yet not enough to actively search for it.

        Cheers for the info

          it’s been shown to be shockingly effective at reducing injuries while having the only downside of looking hella dumb. but i’m sure that was the attitude to leatherheads and helmets at some point, too
