Saving College Football
It all started in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in the summer of 2020. At the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the unthinkable had happened. The NCAA was considering cancelling the college football season.
GLOBAL PANDEMIC
In an urgent attempt to salvage the season, NCAA league officials worked to "stop the spread" by requiring players to wear restrictive face shields, which made helmets hot and difficult to breathe in.
LSU
Players hated the new policy. Some even threatened to sit out the season. Coaches & staff at LSU, who had just won the NCAA title, were desperate for a way to keep players comfortable in the brutal south Louisiana heat.
THE GARAGE
Ready to help, we immediately got to work. In the New Orleans garage of Tigeraire founder Jack Karavich, we began tinkering with fans, tubing, and batteries to see how we could improve helmet airflow.
THE CYCLONE
After countless prototypes and trials, the Cyclone Air Accelerator® was finally born. It quickly took LSU, and soon college football by storm. The Cyclone is now enjoyed by football athletes at all levels.
FAQs
How does airflow help me stay cool?
By facilitating the evaporation of sweat on the scalp and forehead, targeted airflow helps cool the head and, by extension, the entire body. In fact, allowing the head to shed heat effectively can make the difference between safety and a dangerous, even deadly, situation. When you wear a Tigeraire Air Accelerator® product, your head's perspiration is continually evaporated and your head stays cool. The cooled blood flow then circulates down through the rest of your body, increasing comfort even in the hottest weather.
