Defend Yourself
Head impacts in sports involve rotational forces that damage the brain irreparably. These injuries, resulting from sub-concussive impacts and concussions in sport, rotate the brain inside the skull. This shears brain cells, tears blood vessels, leading to abnormal, exaggerated brain inflammation and over time damages the blood-brain barrier. It’s this inflammation that, over time, can increase your risk of neurodegenerative disease, like CTE, an early onset dementia.
The Rotection® technology in Halos® headbands is proven to reduce the transmission of rotational forces by up to 61%, based on independent testing. Rotection® technology with nine protective layers move in a “zig-zag” motion to absorb up to 30mm of movement. This reduces the transmission of rotational forces to the brain and your risk of concussion and long-term neurodegenerative disease from sub-concussive impacts.
Brain protection rather than skull or head protection
Halos® is uniquely designed to protect the brain in concussive and sub-concussive impacts. The most advanced and technically superior solution to reducing brain injury in sports.
Designed for maximum playing comfort and secure fit. Can be worn with sports goggles and suitable for all hair lengths.
Halos® has a textured silicone grip to ensure it remains in place and is designed to fit every head shape. Maximum comfort with zero distraction and no change in playing style.

The grip band has two grip sides with di?erent length silicone nodes. The short drop-shaped node side should be worn to the scalp, the longer drop-shaped node side to the Halos®. The grip band should be placed on the head first. In the same position where the Halos® is worn. Then the Halos® placed on the head over the grip band.
How to Measure
Halos® sizing is based on head circumference. But fitting your head is not an exact science, heads come in all shapes and sizes. Do not guess your size!
Head circumference is measured from the middle of the forehead and covering the widest part of the back of the head. Be sure to completely encircle the head, as shown.
The measurement should be done using a soft, non-stretchable, flexible (cloth /plastic) tape measure, or with the Rezon custom measuring tool. The tape measure or custom measuring tool should be a tight fit.
Please be aware that hairstyles that might affect the measurements. Also remove any hair clips or accessories that might alter the measurements.
Depending on the sport and personal preference, you can choose to measure above the ears or with the tape sitting on the top of the ears. The tape should sit above the eyebrows and lie flat against the forehead.
Measure your head at least twice for accuracy and measure in centimetres. If you are in between sizes, choose the smaller size.
Find your corresponding size on the Rezon size chart:
How to Wear Rezon Halos®
The narrow section of the band should sit at the front of the head, on the forehead and above the eyebrows. The Rezon logo should be positioned on the left temple area.
It is personal preference to have the band above the ears or covering the top of the ears, the band has been designed to accommodate both wearing styles. The band should be equally aligned on the head, not twisted to the right or left side.
The broader section of the band should be positioned at the back of the head, hair can be worn above the band, using the drop at the back to accommodate a pony tail.
