SportsDepot.com Meets the Needs of Football Players ‘Head On' with Huge Inventory of Schutt ION 4D and AiR XP Helmets.
SportsDepot.com ( www.sportsdepot.com ), arguably the web’s largest retailer of football gear and equipment, are shipping Schutt Sports two new breakthrough helmet designs, the ION 4D and the AiR XP, as quickly as orders pour in from players and teams across the country. SportsDepot, a longtime source for Schutt’s entire line of football products, is betting heavily on the success of the ION 4D and the AiR XP by maintaining a huge inventory of these highly sought after helmets. Schutt Sports rocked the football helmet industry by introducing both new helmets within the last few months.
Many college and pro team players are already using the AiR XP, including those from
the New York Jets, USC, Michigan, Georgia, Tennessee, Air Force, Stanford, SMU , Oklahoma State, Boston College, Illinois, BYU, Texas A&M, South Florida, TCU, Kentucky and Wyoming. More are on the way, as sales indicators at the Division 1 level are overwhelming.
The ION 4D, was worn by six players on the New York Giants when they won the Super Bowl in February, and many college teams across the country are getting on board with the ION 4D as well.
Both helmets offer innovative design and breakthrough benefits never before seen in the industry. The ION 4D is a large standoff helmet shell that uses TPU Cushioning in the form of SKYDEX2®, while the AiR XP is a traditional helmet shell shape that also packs the TPU Cushioning. According to test results from independent research labs, the AiR XP absorbs up to 37% more impact than a Riddell® VSR-4 in game-like conditions, and the ION4D absorbs up to 55% more impact than a Riddell® Revolution®. In addition, TPU Cushioning performs well at higher temperatures, does not take a compression set, eliminates the break-in period for the helmet and, unlike, is highly resistant to mold, bacteria and mildew.
SportsDepot co-owner Marc Harris says that the incredible response to the ION 4D and the AiR XP is unlike anything he’s seen in Sportsdepot’s 23 year history. “The demand for both of these helmets is incredible.” says Mr. Harris. “In our 23 years in business I have never seen a reaction to a helmet, or should I say, helmets, like this. We’ve always offered players the most comprehensive selection of football helmets on the market, but with the ION 4D and the AiR XP we offer every player the ability to experience the comfort and safety of TPU Cushioning technology."
