Salming launches CarbonX, probably the lightest elite goalie helmet for floorball*

Salming CarbonX is goalie helmet for floorball produced in 100% carbon. The helmet in it´s non painted version weight only 580 grams and is thereby, together with the black- and the white edition, probably the lightest product on the market in the premium category. CarbonX has been developed in cooperation with Salming ambassador and Swedish national team goalie Viktor Klintsten.

”Given that this is the first goalie helmet for floorball made i 100% carbon, it has been a great challenge technically, but also regarding design and usability” says Thomas Nord, Head of Design & Creative Director at Salming. ”To work with Viktor in the team, one of the best goalies in the world, has been a stimulating continuation of the cooperation we have had a few seasons ago around the development of the first shoe for floorball goalies, Salming Slide”.

Limited edition

The CarbonX will be available at the retailers in a few days, but can already now be preordered. The requests are already coming in, many goalies want to be the first to buy a copy of the limited edition.

”This is really a high end product, that is why the CarbonX is only produced in a limited amount”, says Pär Eriksson, head of sales for Salming Floorball.

”CarbonX is one of several high end news that we plan to launch the coming season and we are already working on the 18/19 season. That is all I can reveal right now”, says Thomas Nord.

*The comparison applies floorball goalie elite helmets in the so called premium segment, 200 – 400 €.
