Prefer to hit the slopes with a soft knit hat rather than a rigid brain bucket? The flexible padding used in the RibCap stiffens on impact, providing less protection than a helmet but considerably more than that old Steelers cap. Made of elastic polymers that harden and regain their flexibility in microseconds, d3o’s molecules bond tightly when hit, absorbing and redistributing the force of a crash. The material showed up in ski gear first but is now expanding to other sportswear in which weight and protection are at odds. From about $90; d3olab.com
