Helmets
The first headgear used for special needs purposes were sports helmets for hockey or football. Although converted helmets offered some protective qualities, they added excessive weight, reduced vision, were hard to keep clean, and often did not fit properly.
In the late 60's Danmar became involved in designing and selling specialty helmets just for special needs use. We worked with medical personnel and caregivers who had experience in adaptations, and knew best what was needed. Over the last 50 years we have worked steadily to improve our line with our priorities being safety, function, and comfort.
