The football helmet has evolved a lot over the years, with new technology constantly being incorporated to make it safer, to make it more comfortable and to make it more advanced.
The latest development to football helmets has been to add air conditioning, with the Louisiana State University football team to use these new models in the 2023 NCAA season.

Won’t need them in December.
In 7.5 years we will!
How do they get the air conditioner units onto their backs?
Seriously though, this would,be cool... pun intended... to have on sweltering days for folks that can’t handle heat well
But you would love to have them in August....in Louisiana. Or Mississippi. Or Alabama.
No, I don’t accept the cookies. Maybe you can post an excerpt of some details like why LSU?
Ridiculous
Didn’t see any “details” at the site. But having a condensing unit, evaporator, coils, thermostat and air handler all within a helmet is an amazing accomplishment.
"Air Conditioning" is a bit of a stretch. The helmets have built-in battery operated fans.
We’ve raised softies
“All the details” means some brain damaged football player grunting “bro”
It’s not like they spend all day with the helmet on and do real work ,LOL
With the idiotic push for “everything electric” by the left, Air Conditioners may soon be outlawed, but even if they arent, the massive load on the electric system with the massive increase in electric items ,ike cars, stoves, heat etc, will cause constant rolling blackouts, brownouts, etc. Gee, thatll be swell sitting in the dark for hours on end during heat waves. Lraying for the grid to get back up and running while the elderly and sick fight for their lives trying to fend off dying from heat exhaustion.
Back to the stone age- a prosperous comfortable nation is a point of rage with the left.
Or Indiana
Heat Stroke has nothing to do with being “soft”. You don’t “condition” for having your brain boiled.
Or that one day in August in Vermont. After that it snowed. And that continued through March.
The NFL has the money, but I’m pretty sure an air conditioned helmet is going to cost 6 or 7 times more than a non air conditioned helmet. Maintenance, consultation and repair costs will be added on top of that.
Dude...its cooling fans in a helmet. Relax.
“In 7.5 years we will!”
Nice!
LSU, Georgia, A&M, USC, Michigan, Texas, Florida and Ohio State will be able to afford these helmets, everybody else is going to sweat a whole lot.
