[QUOTE="JBlood, post: 322047, member: 16"] Frank, as I understand it, the soft exterior has the theoretical disadvantage that it increases the duration of contact with collisions, thereby increasing the risk to the neck. The padding didn't slide off the opposing surface as easily. You may be old enough to remember the padded helmet that Ohio State used in the early 60's. Macgregor made the helmet, which had a wide stripe of padding on the exterior. Other teams tried it as well, but it was abandoned when the worry about increased risk to the neck was raised.
