So my son has a VICIS helmet we paid through the nose for 1.5 years ago. Love the helmet but when I went to look at reconditioning today I found out they have closed the doors. Doesn't seem to be product related but more mis-management of funds. Apparently a PE firm has acquired them. There is a link to an alternate vendor in California that will recondition but I am not sure I trust that process. I started looking at other helmets and the new Riddell Speedflex Diamond seems to be packed with technology. Has anyone else bought one for their kid or know of a team who uses them?

My kid still uses a leather helmet with no face mask, and he’s fine

PHSFarmersMarket - good to see you back.

Vicis probably made a few poor decisions, but biggest problem is entering a market where's it likely that no new competitor can compete. Limited market for high end helmets and insurance costs are crippling. https://www.geekwire.com/2019/happened-v...ides-fate/

Never a fan of vicis or xenith. Schutt is decent. Riddell is king of helmets
