X7C+ NON-TACKLE FOOTBALL HEADBAND [FLAG FOOTBALL | 7V7] - OCTOBER 1st LAUNCH

- Ultrasonic welded construction for a seamless, durable structure without traditional stitching
- 3D-printed elastomeric lattice pads (MATRIXFRD) engineered for advanced impact dispersion
- Multi-zonal lattice tuning for targeted protection and flexibility
- Pro-grade performance headband material built for high-level competition
- “L” extension holes for expanded adjustability and precision fit
- Enhanced geometric grip for improved stability during play

SYZMIK partnered with Carbon to redefine protective headgear for flag football and 7v7 athletes. Traditional headbands rely on stitched fabric and foam—materials that limit performance, breathability, and long-term durability. The X7C+ was developed to move beyond these constraints with a next-generation design engineered to deliver greater impact protection, improved airflow, and superior comfort without added bulk.

Industry-First 3D Printed Padding

The X7C+ introduces an industry-first application of 3D-printed lattice padding in a flag football protective headband. Using Carbon’s Digital Light Synthesis, SYZMIK integrated a 3D-printed structural lattice made from EPU 45, a strain-rate sensitive elastomer specifically engineered for energy absorption.

This additive manufacturing approach allows the padding to be built as a precisely tuned multi-zonal lattice, something impossible with traditional foam. The lattice flexes naturally for comfort and breathability but stiffens under impact to help absorb and disperse energy more effectively, delivering a new level of performance for soft-shell headgear.

Engineered for Performance

To further enhance durability, the X7C+ replaces traditional stitching with ultrasonic welding, seamlessly bonding layers and components into a unified structure. This creates a cleaner finish while reducing potential failure points found in stitched construction.

The headband also features pro-grade performance material, new “L” extension holes for expanded adjustability and a precise fit, and an enhanced geometric grip pattern designed to keep the headgear stable during high-speed play.

The result is a protective headband that combines advanced materials, digital manufacturing, and athlete-driven design, earning a 5-Star impact rating from the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab and setting a new benchmark for flag football and 7v7 protection.
