TECHNOLOGY

The research behind the product

Everyday Safety

Our clothing looks like regular clothes. It’s comfortable to wear and gentle on both the skin and the environment. On top of that, it provides effective protection against minor bumps and impacts.

Children who play, climb, and explore will inevitably fall from time to time. Today, research cannot say for certain how repeated light impacts to the head affect a person in the long term. But it is known that they do have an effect. With our hat, impacts are effectively cushioned, allowing your child to play as usual—only much more safely.

 

What makes OICAN Wear more than ordinary clothes.

Our garments are designed through a unique combination of research and technology—a collaboration between innovators, leading material experts, designers, and engineers that has resulted in a one-of-a-kind protective material. Our protection has been tested at RISE and provides better shock absorption than the best-selling everyday play alternative currently on the Swedish market. At the same time, it’s so thin that it can be integrated into “regular” clothing without affecting the appearance.

THE MATERIAL

About our protection

We are happy to share our brand new material that is created with both children and the environment in mind. Traditional plastic materials used to make shelters can sometimes contain chemicals that do not benefit our planet or our children. Therefore, we felt it was time for a change.

Together with experts in materials and design, we have developed a unique material that is both non-toxic and made from food grade components. The material is thin but at the same time effective when it comes to protecting against shocks and bangs.

The OICAN Safe Hat is more than just a hat. It is designed with care to give children the highest level of protection, while being comfortable and looking good. The protective material is placed on the most exposed parts of the head - the forehead and the back of the head - to offer extra security during play and activities.

Our protection is designed to fit perfectly on the head and is thickest where it is needed most, to provide the best possible protective effect. And you can be sure that the cap fits comfortably without affecting your child's hearing, as the area around the ears is unprotected.

We would like to remind everyone that our cap is not intended as a replacement for a helmet during activities with a higher risk of injury, such as cycling or skiing. But we are convinced that it will become a favorite among children when it comes to everyday play and adventure.

About our protection

Safety in everyday life

We are thrilled to share our brand-new material, created with care for both children and the environment. Traditional plastic materials used for protection sometimes contain chemicals that are not beneficial for our planet or our children. That's why we felt it was time for a change.

Together with experts in materials and design, we have developed a unique material that is both non-toxic and made from food-grade components. The material is thin yet highly effective at protecting against impacts and shocks.

OICAN Safe Hat is more than just a hat.

It is thoughtfully designed to provide children with the highest level of protection while being comfortable and stylish. The protective material is strategically placed on the most vulnerable parts of the head - the forehead and back of the head - to offer extra safety during play and activities.

Our protection is designed to fit perfectly on the head, with thicker padding where it's needed most for maximum protective effect. And you can rest assured the hat fits comfortably without affecting your child's hearing, as the area around the ears is unprotected.

Please note that our hat is not intended as a replacement for a helmet during high-risk activities like cycling or skiing. However, we are confident it will become a favorite for everyday play and adventures.

That's why you should choose OICAN

Tested at RISE

Throughout the development work, we have carried out continuous tests of the materials at RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden). The materials have mainly been tested against standard EN 1621-1 (for motorcycle protection) and EN 812 (for impact protection caps). As there is currently no representative standard developed for everyday protection, the aforementioned standards have been used to be able to compare the damping function between different materials.

Non-toxic

The protective material inside the garment consists of the same non-toxic polymers that are usually used in pacifiers, toys and medical products. The garment's fabric is Oeko-Tex certified and contains no harmful chemicals that can irritate the skin.

Kind to the environment

The OICAN Safe Hat is manufactured with low CO2 emissions and the protective material is 100% reusable. When the cap is no longer to be used, the protective material can be melted down and recast with equally good cushioning properties. In this way, we save on both the environment and waste.

Swedish made

OICAN's products are manufactured in Sweden to minimize transport distances and have better control throughout the production chain. This makes it easier for us to ensure the quality of the products and the suppliers' sustainability work.

Certified

The material is certified according to EU directive 2016/425, risk category 1. Read more about this here.
