Guardian Innovations manufactures several products to make games better and safer: The Guardian Cap is a soft cover that goes over the shell of football, hockey and lacrosse helmets to dampen the impact. Guardian won the NFL HeadHealthTech Challenge in 2017 for developing technologies to help reduce head injuries. The Guardian Cap acts like the soft bumper and crush zone in a car - It\'s just physics. It is laboratory and field tested for the past 6 years. Clemson, Syracuse, Florida State, GA Tech, UMass, Northern Colorado, UC Davis, Texas A&M, SMU and 120+ other D1 Colleges use it along with over 900 high schools and youth leagues. Over on the field to date. PATENTED The Guardian Pearl Lacrosse Ball is the BEST Lacrosse Ball - Non-Greasing lacrosse ball that stays on the soft end of the NOCSAE/NFHS/NCAA hardness specification. Official Ball of US Lacrosse and MCLA. We\'re the only lacrosse ball made in the USA. Made in Yellow and White - NO GREASERS - Practice like you play. Our high performance lacrosse ball that NEVER GREASES is similar to our high performance cast Urethane golf ball. The ball does make a difference in your play. Shoot to score! PATENTED We also make a NO BOUNCE ball that provides a better ball for indoor and gym play. Guardian Infill is a Bio-Based TPE based infill for Synthetic Turf. It keeps the turf up to 25F cooler on hot sunny days. It is also blown with 30% air and thus is a softer pellet that reduces impact and abrasion to players (Football, Soccer, Lacrosse, etc.). Guardian Infill is made of user friendly Bio-Based TPE that is used in medical devices and drinking water containers. Patent Pending Soft, Cast Urethane Golf Balls. We manufacture a cast, soft urethane cover golf ball that competes with all the premium golf balls on the market. We make the urethane in the USA and cast the balls in Asia under several private label brands. In Golf Digests 2017 Best Golf Balls, we make 12 of the 34 best balls. PATENTED

We continue to manufacture Urethane golf ball technology having 12 of the top 34 golf balls on the Golf Digest list, dominate the global climbing wall holds industry. We solve problems quickly. We own multiple patents in various fields including SIPP for infrastructure rehabilitaion. One of my passions today is with innovating products for the sporting world - football, lacrosse, hockey, soccer. We felt a calling to create and offer the GUARDIAN CAP to the athletic world because we had the technology and just couldn’t sit on it. It has been tested in the labs and on the field for over 12 years. Guardian Caps are mandated by the NFL for all 32 teams during practice for the entire season. 59 of the 65 Power 5 NCAA teams use them. Teams like Clemson, Alabama, Florida State, UGA, Oklahoma, Iowa State, Wisconsin, Penn State, Tennessee, UMass, Texas A&M, Texas, Houston, Vanderbilt, SMU, etc. By wearing the Guardian Cap on the outside of your football helmet the force and impact are significantly reduced and because it is decoupled from the helmet, it redirects that angular forces like MIPS. It\'s PURE PHYSICS like the plastic bumper and crush zone on your car and the padded walls at NASCAR. We\'ve also developed the PEARL LACROSSE BALL. It is the BEST. It NEVER GREASES, lasts years longer and is on the lower end of the NOCSAE hardness specification. Official Ball of US Lacrosse and Team USA. Used by all D1, D2 and D3 NCAA National Champions - Notre Dame, UVA, Duke, etc…It’s the only lacrosse ball Made in the USA. In addition our newest development is a replacement Bio-Based Cooling TPE INFILL for Synthetic Turf. It keeps the field up to 25F cooler and is softer and less abrasive to athletes. We use Bio-Based components and materials approved for medical devices and drinking water. We are about to disrupt another major industry with our polyurethanes. It will become the #1 quality and demanded PPE for hospitals, laboratories, industrial, etc…. Hold tight - it’s coming.
