Happy Helmets | Anon X Chill Foundation
Thank YOU to everyone that helped to spread the word and/or donated to our Giving Tuesday efforts! We had an amazing outcome and couldn’t be more thrilled to give the gift of brain health to those in recovery - thanks to you.
We hope that everyone is enjoying the winter season thus far! Tis the season to get back on the mountain, and that might mean it’s time to start looking for a new helmet. If you ever have any questions about helmets please don’t hesitate to reach out to us via IG or email.
Big Thanks To Anon
December’s Happy Helmets is made possible by none other than the icon, Anon!! Anon is Burton’s optic and helmet brand and has been leading the way in snow helmet technology since 2001. They have low profile, lightweight, stylish helmets all with the most innovative technology. These beautiful, top notch helmets will be donated to those in need at the Chill Foundation! Chill is an incredible, international nonprofit that was founded by Jake and Donna Carpenter (founders of Burton Snowboards) in 1995 with the goal of inspiring youth through boardsports.
About Anon:
Anon has been an icon for helmets in snowsports since the early 2000s. As mentioned before they are the industry’s leader in helmet technology. Their most recent innovation is WaveCel:
“WaveCel® behaves like a network of hundreds of interconnected shock absorbers connecting your head and the outer shell of the helmet. WaveCel helps distribute the impact energy through its network of cells, reduces impact forces like the crumple zone of a car, and then helps divert rotational forces by flexing and gliding to help redirect energy away from the head.” Each WaveCel helmet is designed to fit closer to the head, providing a snug, comfortable fit. Check out their WaveCel helmets, here!
Another recent innovation from Anon is their Endura: “Endura® shell construction features an injection-molded ABS exterior for long-lasting durability and ding-resistant strength”
Anon also has helmets lines with the following options:
MIPS Line - “Multidirectional Impact Protection System (MIPS) is a revolutionary technology that mimics the brain's own protection system with a low friction layer that lets the helmet slide relative to the head”
Standard EPS Line - “In-mold shell construction fuses a lightweight polycarbonate shell with an EPS liner for sleek comfort and a low profile fit”
Boa Fit System Options - “360° BOA® Fit System integrates a fit dial directly into the helmet and provides for micro adjustments in a complete halo around the wearer's head”
Plus multiple other options to ensure you get the helmet that best fits your needs!
Our December Helmet Recipients: The Chill Foundation
“Chill was founded in 1995 by Jake and Donna Carpenter, the founders of Burton Snowboards. Chill has served more than 25,000 young people since the program began, working with approximately 3,000 youth annually. We work with social service agencies, mental health agencies, foster care programs, juvenile justice programs, and schools in local communities to select youth participants. Everything is provided to the youth at no cost.
We focus on the resiliency of our participants to help them reach their full potential and see that there is a path out of their current circumstances. Their current situation doesn't have to define them or determine their path in life; Chill helps them to realize alternatives beyond the struggles they face.
Since inception in 1995, Chill is proud to offer programs in 24 cities, in 10 countries throughout the world. Participants range in age from 10-18 years old.
The Chill program embodies the latest Positive Youth Development (PYD) best practices to ensure participating youth build resiliency through targeted lesions and challenging physical activities.”
