LIGHT Helmets designs and manufactures headgear for tackle football, flag football, and soccer. Its Apache helmet platform has been ranked the top option for varsity and youth football by Virginia Tech's Helmet Lab, combining strong protection with lighter weight. The helmets use advanced materials derived from military, aviation, and auto racing applications and are claimed to be up to 50% lighter than competing designs, developed with an advisory board that includes head trauma specialists, NFL players, and combat veterans. Based in Carlsbad, California, the company serves athletes across levels seeking safer, lighter head protection. In late 2023, it announced expansion of its U.S. offices and a plan to move all manufacturing domestically by the end of the year.
