The Warrior Alpha One Helmet debuts the new OmniShock+ Protection System that provides next-level protection by integrating Viconic 3D TPU Pods and Impax Foam into a one-piece shell. The Viconic 3D Pods are utilized in critical impact areas (front, rear and sides of the head) and handle low, mid and high energy impacts in both linear and twisting motions better than any foam Warrior has ever used before. On top of the EPP Foam baseliner, the Alpha One uses Impax Foam that is extremely comfortable and improves full range protection too.
Gone are the days of a multi-piece shell and 2018 ushers in the True One-Piece for Warrior. Not only does the one-piece allow them to build the Alpha One with a lower-profile look, it better absorbs and distributes impact energy too.
The other significant change in the Alpha One Helmet is the AdaptaFit 360 System by Boa. Traditional hockey helmets feature a front-to-back adjustment system but with a quick twist of the Boa's dial, it provides a full 360-degree custom wrap around the head.
Included with the Alpha One is a sticker package that lets you customize your look and match your team's colors.
