Heavy Resistance

Where can I find a snowboard beanie with the capabilities/impact resistance of a helmet?
I saw a product once in Poular Mechanics that was a snowboarding beanie made of a certain material that could withstand heavy impact. I was wodnering if anyone knew the brand and/or where I could find it.
Please just buy a real, safety approved helmet. Even if you are a good rider you can still be hit by someone else and these things can really save you.
Two years ago I saw this guy ripping up the slope and caught the edge on a lip of snow and sent him off the run into the trees – he ran directly into a tree and broke his board – it sounded terrible. He was a very good rider and had a helmet on – I’m convinced it saved his life.
