Foam padding in military helmets that were produced by Team Wendy is shown Monday, April 23, 2007, in Cleveland. Each helmet set comes with seven pads, shown on the left. The company also is developing a sweat-removal system, shown on the right, that wicks moisture from inside the helmet to the outside, where it evaporates. A Cleveland businessman set out to create a better helmet for athletes after his daughter died in a skiing accident a decade ago, and his product could end up saving the lives of U.S. troops overseas. Dan Moore's Zorbium padding, a patented, impact absorbing foam, has become standard issue for the U.S. military, which wanted better helmet padding to protect against roadside bombs
