Ribcap

We make protective helmets, fashionable. Our designs fit with any lifestyle and provide 360° head protection without being bulky or stigmatising.

Ribcap was formed over 10 years ago to provide protective headgear that works to combat various neurological conditions - without compromising your personal style. It’s no secret that head injuries can be devastating. In fact, studies show that around half of the world’s population will sustain at least one head injury in their lifetime.

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month! 💚

💡Did you know that falls are one of the leading causes of brain injury among older adults and young children?

A brain injury caused by a fall or other minor accident can drastically alter a person's life by affecting them physically, emotionally, and socially. This is why prevention, support and awareness are so important. Simple measures, such as wearing a protective helmet, using a walker, and making your home safer, can make a real difference.

Our protective helmets help children and adults move with confidence and independence, while healthcare professionals, like occupational therapists, provide support as needed. 🙌🏻

Read the inspiring story of Nathanaël, a courageous and joyful child with epilepsy. His mom, Claire, opens up about their journey since his diagnosis at age two and how they’ve found ways to keep him safe while allowing him to shine. ✨

"Nathanaël is 5 years old and has been living with epilepsy since he was 2.

The day we received the diagnosis, our world shifted. Since then, our life has required more vigilance, more anticipation… and learning to live with the fear of sudden falls, especially when fatigue triggers his seizures.

However, epilepsy has never taken away his joy.

Nathanaël is pure light. He is always smiling and laughing. While we sometimes see fear, he sees friends, games, and endless adventures waiting to happen.

We searched for a way to protect his head without taking away his freedom or dimming the beautiful spark that makes him who he is.

Then we found Ribcap. Now, whenever he feels tired, he proudly puts on his protective cap —at home, at school, wherever life takes him. Fewer bumps. Fewer injuries. And so much more peace of mind.

He keeps running. He keeps laughing. He keeps shining. This cap won't cure his epilepsy but it protects his little head… and gives us the freedom to focus on what truly matters: his light.

If sharing our story brings hope to even one family walking a similar path, it's worth it. 🤍

Claire, mom to a brave, joyful little warrior"

💡Did you know that every Ribcap helmet has three layers that combine comfort, protection and style?

1️⃣ Comfortable base layer: soft, lightweight, and breathable Coolmax fabric keeps your head cool and dry. This fabric wicks away moisture and provides ventilation, making it a versatile, breathable option.
2️⃣ Protective foam: soft, micro-perforated foam comes in the form of several pads. There is ventilation between each pad to keep your head cool. The soft foam can withstand repeated impacts and provide protection.
3️⃣ Fashionable outer layer: choose your favorite fabric and color, because safety should look good too!

Double-tap if you love safety and style! 💛🌈

International Epilepsy Day 💜

Today, we recognize the strength and resilience of everyone living with epilepsy. To mark this day, we're sharing Kyle's inspiring story. He opens up about his experiences with absence seizures and how he’s found ways to stay safe and active every day.

Kyle also has a fantastic Instagram page, Epilepsy Lifestyle Blog, where he inspires the epilepsy community. 🙌🏻

"If you know me, then you know that I have a history of experiencing absent seizures. Despite these seizures, I’ve held down a job, owned my own home, and I'm a huge epilepsy advocate through my Epilepsy Lifestyle Blog. It can be a lot, don't get me wrong, but I love it!

Up until about two years ago, my seizures were quick, and people could hardly tell when I was having one. That's the ideal situation for anyone battling epilepsy! However, things started to change, as they do with anything in life. They became more intense and lasted longer. Some even knocked me to the floor.

In June of 2025, I had a VNS device implanted. It would take a year to tune it to my body, but hopefully it would stop more of the intense seizures. I am very happy with my decision, as it seems to be helping after seven months.

Despite the new technology in me, I was still falling. My mom found these Ribcap hats that I can wear at work or while doing work around the house. I tried one on, and it has worked wonders for me. When I fall with it on, I can barely feel a thing. The next thing I knew, another one was at my door: the beanie! Wearing that in the snow, I fell and felt nothing.

Of course, I would love to stop falling. In the meantime, though, it’s good to have while I battle my seizures. Ribcaps are awesome!"

How do Natasha's service dog and her Ribcap keep her safe? 🐾🧢

"Meet Presley, my amazing medical alert and response service dog. She can detect my seizures before they even happen. Once she alerts me, she stays right by my side until the seizure begins. During a seizure, Presley positions herself between my arm and the floor to help keep me on my side and protect my airway. She also quietly barks twice to alert nearby friends that I need help. She stays with me throughout the entire seizure and helps me regain my awareness afterward. With Presley’s guidance and my Ribcap, I have the safest setup possible. My head is protected, and I have a loyal partner who stays with me every step of the way." 💜
