DEFEND YOUR HEAD

Defend Your Head of Chester Springs, PA has developed a patented soft shell protective helmet, the “ProCap”, to significantly increase the protective abilities of existing sports helmets and reduce head injury on the field. While helmet advances over the last 20 years focused on internal padding to prevent skull fracture, DYH’s unique technology and design works in tandem with existing helmets to provide superior protection, while outperforming its competition in both ease of use and ap... plication. In independent lab tests it was shown to absorb and dissipate energy, reduce the speed of impact, and deflect glancing blows to significantly reduce sports injuries. Unlike competitors’ products, DYH’s ProCap is available in custom colors, is decal-friendly and is both heat and cold resistant. The core technology was spawned at a firm funded by private investors, physicians, and Ben Franklin. That company merged into Defend Your Head in 2013 where the product was advanced and an additional patent was acquired. Market launch is scheduled for late summer. DYH is led by John Roman who spent 9 years in the NFL, was President of Merrill Lynch Trust Company, and founded Valley Forge Capital Advisors. He is joined by Frank Lytle who has a 40 year career in product design and manufacturing and grew several product lines from inception into millions in sales; and Greg Lewis, CFO, who has a sales, marketing and finance experience across several industries including financial services.
