Products manufactured by company, headquartered in Litchfield, Illinois, included helmets and other protections such as jockstraps, and shoulder pads.

[9] In December 2020, it was announced that Innovatus Capital Partners, LLC, had acquired the assets of Kranos Corporation including its brands Schutt, ProGear Shoulder Pads, Tucci Bats, Hollywood Bases and Adams USA.

[1] In the petition filed with the court, the company listed $1,219,773 in assets and $58,342,153 in liabilities;[11] as noted by SGI News,[12] the assets consisted entirely of Zamst inventory, a line of sports braces and related sports medicine products that Schutt agreed to distribute exclusively under a multi-year contract with Nippon Sigmax.

"[16] Critics and doctors questioned the model's marketing, saying that the statement, as well as the name, can give the wrong message.

The padding inside the helmet is designed to mitigate the force of impacts and reduce the acceleration experienced by the brain during a collision.

Helmets are crucial in minimizing the risk of head injuries, but they cannot completely eliminate the possibility of concussions.

Therefore, it is essential to complement helmet technology with proper tackling techniques, rule changes, and comprehensive concussion protocols to ensure player safety.

TPU is a resilient material that offers excellent impact absorption and durability, providing enhanced protection against collisions.

D3O is a flexible material that instantly hardens upon impact, dissipating and managing the forces exerted during collisions, thereby reducing the risk of injury.

Schutt's Tectonic Plate 3DX technology involves incorporating a multi-layered system in the helmet shell.

This design allows for controlled and efficient energy transfer upon impact, providing improved protection against rotational forces and also reducing the risk of concussions.
