Hey everybody and welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister Podcast Network.

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com.

Okay, today we are continuing our series on the current state of helmet tech, and our guest

And if you haven't heard of Wave Cell, well, then you need to listen to this conversation.

And if you have heard of Wave Cell, but kind of assumed it was just the latest newfangled

gimmick in Helmet Tech, well then you definitely ought to listen to this conversation because

I think your mind is about to be changed. Steve and I discuss his own background and the origins

And Steve in this conversation articulates what might be the best case I've ever heard

for why these days we are hearing so much about rotational forces and their critical role

in brain injuries.

around, this is an incredibly important piece of the puzzle.

And like I said, I don't think I've ever heard it articulated as well as Steve does in this

conversation.

Finally, Steve and I also discuss exactly how wave cell compares to other very popular mitigation

systems, namely MIPs and Choroid.
