Helmet Manufacturer Defends Product After Patrick Mahomes' Helmet Cracks in Playoff Game

Despite the cracking in subzero temperatures, VICIS insists their ZERO2 helmet protected the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback.

  • Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes' helmet cracked during a playoff game against the Miami Dolphins, but the manufacturer, VICIS, insists it did its job in protecting him.
  • The game was played in subzero temperatures, which VICIS suggests contributed to the helmet's cracking.
  • Mahomes remained in the game after the incident, switching to a replacement helmet which initially didn't fit due to the cold.
  • VICIS' ZERO2 helmet model, which Mahomes was wearing, uses a multi-layer technology designed to absorb and disperse impact forces.
  • The incident has sparked discussions about equipment storage during extreme weather conditions, as Mahomes' replacement helmet was initially too cold to wear.
