韬略ERT™技术解决马术安全帽太硬方案- 大数跨境

Traditional equestrian helmets are built to meet certification tests—and that’s important. But there’s a tradeoff: to withstand the extreme impacts required for lab approval, most helmets rely on dense versions of EPS foam. This works in catastrophic crashes, but feels overly rigid in the more common, moderate impacts—like a rider falling sideways during a jump, slipping at low speed, or being unseated on uneven terrain.

传统的马术安全帽是按照认证测试的标准制造的——这一点很重要。但这也存在一个折衷之处：为了能够通过实验室的认证测试（这些测试要求头盔能够承受极端的冲击力），大多数头盔都采用了密度较高的 EPS 泡沫材料。这种材料在灾难性的碰撞中效果良好，但在更常见的、中等强度的撞击中（比如骑手在跳跃时向一侧摔倒、在低速状态下滑倒或者在不平坦的地面上失座）则会显得这种高密度太过于硬。

That’s whereERT™ (Energy Reduction Technology) comes in.

这就是ERT™发挥作用和优势的地方

ERT is Strategic Sports’ proprietary low-density layer, engineered to do what EPS alone cannot. It begins absorbing energy the moment an impact occurs—well before traditional foam starts to compress. The result? Better energy management in the real-world crashes riders are most likely to face.

ERT™ 是“韬略”独有的低密度层材料技术，其设计初衷是为了实现 EPS无法达成的效果。它在撞击发生的瞬间就开始吸收能量——远早于传统泡沫开始压缩之前。其结果是，在骑手最有可能遭遇的真实世界碰撞中，能更好地管理和减少能量冲击。

What the Data Tells Us用实事数据说话

Equestrian helmet standards allow from 250 to 300 g’s (depending on the market and specific certification) of linear acceleration to the brain—modeling severe, high-speed impacts. Passing these tests requires stiff, dense foam. But real-world falls often involve lower speeds, rotational forces, or oblique impacts—exactly where traditional EPS performs less effectively.

Research from Imperial College London and Virginia Tech’s helmet lab shows many riding accidents fall into this lower-energy range. Yet many helmets remain too rigid to absorb these forces. The solution isn’t eliminating EPS—it’s pairing it with a low-density layer that expands protection across a wider range of impact energies.

马术安全帽的标准规定，在对大脑造成严重、高速撞击的情况下，允许承受250 至 300 克的线性加速度（这取决于市场情况和具体的认证标准）。要通过这些测试，就需要使用坚硬且密度高的泡沫材料。但在现实中的摔倒情况往往涉及较低的速度、旋转力或倾斜撞击——而这些正是传统的 EPS 在吸收这些冲击力方面表现不佳的地方。

伦敦帝国理工学院和弗吉尼亚理工大学的安全帽实验室的研究表明，许多骑术事故都处于这种较低能量的范围。然而，许多头盔一直过于坚硬，无法吸收这些冲击力。解决方案并非完全摒弃EPS——而是将其与低密度层结合使用，这样就能在更广泛的冲击能量范围内提供更好的保护。

The Challenge of Meeting Evolving Standards

面对不断变化的标准所面临的挑战

With ASTM recently lowering the allowable peak acceleration in equestrian helmet testing from 300g to 275g, brands face increased pressure to deliver better energy management without compromising fit or comfort. ERT™ helps bridge that gap—absorbing impact energy earlier and more effectively, making it easier to meet tougher standards while still addressing the real-world crashes riders are most likely to experience.

由于美国材料与试验协会（ASTM）最近将马术安全帽测试中允许的最大峰值加速度从 300 克降低至 275 克，各品牌面临着更大的压力，需要在不牺牲佩戴舒适度和适配性的情况下，实现更好的能量管理。我们的ERT™ 有助于填补这一差距——它能更早、更有效地吸收冲击能量，从而更轻松地满足更严格的标准，同时也能应对骑手在实际骑行中最有可能遭遇的碰撞情况。

Why a Low-Density Layer Matters

为何低密度层至关重要

EPS is excellent in high-energy situations—but it takes significant force to activate. ERT™, in contrast, begins working at lower thresholds. This is critical for equestrian riders, where common incidents include:

Falls from standing height or low jumps

Unseating at trot or canter speeds

Side impacts against fences, ground, or other obstacles

By combining EPS with ERT, Strategic Sports delivers dual-density protection that helps reduce both concussive and sub-concussive forces—without compromising protection in severe impacts…because Softer is Smarter.

EPS 在高能量冲击情况下表现优异，但需要施加较大力量才能激活。而 ERT™ 则在较低阈值下就开始发挥作用。这对于骑马者来说至关重要，常见的事故包括：

从站立高度或低跳高度跌落

在快步或快步马的速度下被摔下马

与围栏、地面或其他障碍物发生侧向碰撞

通过将EPS 与 ERT 结合使用，韬略提供了双密度防护，有助于减少震荡性冲击力和亚震荡性冲击力——同时不会在严重撞击中降低防护效果……因为“更柔软就是更智能”。

More Than Rotation

不只是旋转

Equestrian falls are often more linear than those seen in other sports—direct impacts to the ground, fences, or obstacles from higher riding positions. Many competing energy management systems focus almost exclusively on rotational forces, adding little to no benefit for linear impacts. ERT™ is different: it manages both linear and rotational energy in one integrated layer, giving riders broader protection against the real-world crash profiles unique to horseback riding.

马术运动中的摔倒情况通常比其他运动中的摔倒情况更具线性特征——即从较高的骑乘位置直接撞击地面、围栏或障碍物。许多竞技的能量管理系统几乎完全专注于旋转力，对线性冲击几乎没有带来任何益处。而 ERT™ 则与众不同：它在一个集成层中同时管理线性和旋转能量，为骑手提供了更全面的保护，以应对马术运动中特有的真实碰撞情况。

Designed for Soft Footing

专属柔性设计

Equestrian arenas often use sand, fiber, or other soft ring footing that can reduce how much a helmet’s dense EPS liner compresses on impact—limiting its ability to absorb energy effectively. ERT™ solves this problem. Its low-density structure activates instantly, even when the ground itself absorbs part of the force, ensuring riders still get meaningful protection in conditions where traditional EPS alone may underperform.

马术比赛场地通常会使用沙子、纤维或其他柔软的围场地面材料，这些材料能够减少EPS 在受到冲击时的压缩程度，从而限制其有效吸收能量的能力。而 ERT™ 解决了这一问题。其低密度结构能够迅速激活，即使地面本身会吸收一部分冲击力，也能确保骑手在传统 EPS 单独防护效果可能不佳的情况下仍能获得有效的保护。

How ERT™ Works

如何有效工作

ERT is a soft, flexible polymer molded into a grid-like structure and placed between the head and the EPS shell. It compresses in multiple directions, absorbing both direct impacts and rotational energy.

ERT 是一种柔软且可塑性的聚合物，被制成网格状结构，并放置在头部和 EPS 之间。它能够在多个方向上压缩和吸收直接冲击和旋转能量。

A Five Star Difference

五星级评级

Strategic engineers have repeatedly taken helmet designs with average test scores and elevated them to Virginia Tech’s 5 Star rating—simply by adding ERT. Placement is optimized using real-world equestrian impact data, improving both safety and rider comfort. Unlike other systems, ERT doesn’t impede ventilation or add bulk; the soft blue pads even enhance fit and comfort.

韬略工程师们曾多次将测试性能一般的头盔设计加以改进，使其达到了弗吉尼亚理工大学的五星级评级——仅仅通过添加 ERT 技术就实现了这一效果。通过运用真实的马术碰撞数据对位置进行优化，既提高了安全性，又提升了骑手的舒适度。与其他系统不同的是，ERT 不会阻碍通风效果或增加重量；柔软的蓝色衬垫甚至还能改善贴合度和舒适度。
