Impact tested on the only equipment of its kind in the U.S. Based on the criteria outlined in the ASTM standard specification for protective headgear used in martial arts (Designation F-2397-04), Macho tested the SparTec Headgear using the high-speed swing arm test in Macho s product testing facility. Testing was conducted to all three critical strike zones of the head the front, side and back. In accordance with the standard, Macho SparTec was tested at both high-heat and ambient temperatures. Acceleration (g) MOLDED HEADGEAR PRODUCTS Test results are for high-impact strikes to the side of the head at a velocity of 8 m/s. The lower the number, the more impact is dispersed. Macho SparTec proved to be the safest molded headgear. For more testing data and information visit www.macho.com. Macho SparTec outperformed all other molded headgear tested.
