VICIS was co-founded by neurosurgeons, engineers, and business leaders who recognized that helmet design had not meaningfully advanced in decades. The company was built at the intersection of biomechanical engineering, materials science, and a singular mission: make football safer without compromising performance. So committed to change is the brand that its name literally means "change."

Certor Sports' ownership of both VICIS and Schutt Sports makes it the only company with multiple helmet brands consistently ranked at the top of independent safety ratings — giving Certor a unique and dominant position in the safety-focused football equipment market.

### Virginia Tech STAR Helmet Ratings (https://www.helmet.beam.vt.edu/index.html)

Virginia Tech's STAR (Summation of Tests for the Analysis of Risk) rating system is the most widely respected independent helmet safety benchmark in American football.

- **By comparison:** the Riddell SpeedFlex is rated 3-star with a score of 4.49, and ranks 24th out of all the helmets tested.

The lower the score, the better on Virginia Tech's scoring system. With the star system, 4- and 5-star helmets are recommended for use, with 5-stars being the best helmets available. Any helmet rated 3 stars or worse is not r
