Best for Protection
Schutt Sports Football Helmets are currently the dominant technological force in the industry. And the Vengeance VTD II is the unrivaled market leader. Indeed, it’s the new generation helmet that does a good job, protecting against all possible impacts. The patented TPU Cushioning System is mechanically attached to the helmet for holding it securely in place, protecting against impacts to the front and side. A large standoff shell allows for thicker TPU cushioning, that significantly reduces the impact potential of the helmet. The Vengeance VTD II cushioning won’t deform upon an impact, thus providing a proper protection even after frequent, long-term use. What is more, good ventilation throughout the shell promotes heat management and comfort to keep you from sweating.
Best for Performance
This adult football helmet is available in 4 models to cater for each and every need, regardless of your skill level or training goals. The Surefit™ Air Liner creates a snug and precise fit, and a padded interior reduces impacts to the head. If the helmet is too tight, it may cause discomfort. On the contrary, if it’s too loose it may shift. If the helmet doesn’t fit snugly, this may actually hinder your sporting performance. The Inter-Link Jaw Pads protect your cheekbones and jaws from trauma, which is particularly important when playing contact sports. And the SC4 Hard Cup Chin offers added protection to the player’s chin. Yet, you’ll need to buy the Schutt #7799 Inflator Pump with a needle for inflating and deflating your football helmet.
Best for Players
The football helmet design provides an incredibly wide front and side field of view, that allows you to see everything that's happening on the pitch. Although the helmet comes without a facemask, yet you can choose from a large variety of Schutt Sports face guards. The Twist Release System makes attaching the mask easier and faster than ever.
Sports Gear Storage
Do you wonder how to transport your protective equipment to the training site? The gym bag is designed to travel compact with all the gear you need. Choose the bag with an external back compartment to keep your clean team uniform separate from your gear for hygienic purposes.

RAWLINGS C3™: Custom Comfort Cushion
This football helmet combines cutting-edge technologies with a traditional design that improves its safety and player's performance. The outer shell is made from super light and durable polycarbonate. The helmet itself weighs about 3 pounds (without a face mask), so it won’t leave you with a sore neck or pain in shoulders no matter how long you wear it. The padding is attached with stainless steel clips that keep the helmet in place under strong impacts. The RAWLINGS C3™ technology is great for active impact absorption. An inflation liner provides added comfort and improved fit, reducing the pressure applied to the helmet's outer shell. A unique protection system of communication channels between the back and side pads reduces the impact force on the head and neck and dissipates it over the entire exterior surface.
Heat Exchange Vents
The ventilation holes provide maximum air flow, allowing your skin to breathe, and keep you from overheating. However, a large number of vent holes is not always a good thing. A strong impact can cause cracks to the helmet outer shell, especially in the vent hole area. Sure enough, visible signs of damage make the helmet not as safe as it could be. Thus, the vent system is designed to deliver optimal air circulation and reduce heat build-up in the helmet. The back and side vents circulate air into the helmet, keeping the player's head cool while you run. And the top vents remove heated air away from your head.
Best Facemask for Quarterback and Wide Receiver
Choosing a facemask primary depends on your position on the field. If you play in Quarterback (QB) or Wide Receiver (WR) position, the mask should give you a clear view of the field and ball. In this regard, the ROLO (reinforced oral protection only) football helmet face guard is what you need to take your game to the next level. And the durable Surlyn face mask clips are designed for quick assembling and disassembling.
Increase Your Daily Water Intake
Football players have a significantly higher demand for water, as they perform vigorous movements during the game. This causes a tremendous loss of water in the body that can lead to loss of strength and stamina. Keep water close at hand in a sports water bottle to quench your thirst when you need it. This easy-to-grip bottle with ergonomic design and a special valve allows you to get hydrated on the go.

For Youth Players Through Junior High
This football helmet is designed for kids and youth to protect against all possible impacts. Keep in mind that youth and adult helmets differ in sizes. Thus, X-Large will be well suited for athletes with the head size of 23 1/8" - 23 1/2". The outer shelf is made of ABS Plastic that is strong enough to protect players from the heaviest impacts to the front of the head. Meanwhile, the material is super lightweight, so the helmet won’t put pressure on the child's neck, giving the head a comfortable fit. Also, the football helmet comes complete with a durable facemask and weighs not more than 3.5 feet. As an added benefit, it's certified according to NOCSAE standards for athletic equipment. Although the helmet is available only in white, yet you can show off your custom design with the decal kits, that will give your helmet a completely new look.
PSIP™ (Patented Side Impact Protection)
The extended jaw flaps and side liner provide enhanced side impact protection, distributing the force over a larger area of the helmet outer shell. Thus, you will have no safety concerns during the game!
Available Upgrade Options
If you'd like to upgrade your helmet, Riddell offers some additional options.
-S-Pad Sizing: If you have already chosen the right helmet size but want to have thicker or thinner padding, buy the S-Pads with the width of ¾, 1 or 1 ¼ inches.
-Strap-Loc™ Installer: The helmet comes with the Mid hook-up soft cup chin strap that can be adjusted in length. However, the Strap-Loc Installer will make it easier to anchor the chin strap to the outer shell.
-Quick-Release™ Upgrade: The face mask is attached to the helmet with the T-Nut Screws. But you can install the Quick-Release™ Kit to make your facemask removal quicker. However, the kit is not compatible with all Ridell facemasks. You can find the list of models available on the official website.
Don't Forget About Protecting Your Teeth
Wearing a mouth guard, made of extra durable, hygienic material, will protect your teeth from trauma during game. It creates a barrier, preventing direct contact between the upper and lower jaw. We recommend mouth guards with a quick-release tether and a strap that can be easily attached to the helmet's facemask to prevent it from popping out of your mouth.

Relentless Dedication to the Player
Boost your confidence in the hottest football games with the Vengeance DCT Football Helmet. The helmet is made of polypropylene with stiffeners to spread impact energy over the shell surface. It weighs about 2.85 pounds (without a face mask), so it won’t cause any discomfort or put pressure on your neck and shoulders. The innovative Surefit™ Air Lining and Inter-Link Jaw Pads are mechanically attached to the helmet for a firm fit and ultimate comfort. The helmet is able to withstand the most common blows to the side of the head. And a large standoff shell protects the back of the head against all possible impacts.
How to Fit a Helmet Properly for the Best Protection?
It goes without saying that the proper fit of the football helmet is important for providing adequate protection. To fit the helmet properly, simply follow through each step.
4. And finally, adjust the 4-Point High chin strap (included) properly. Additionally, you can buy the chin straps with enhanced protection of the jawline and chin.
Face Protection for the Lineman
Like most football helmets, this model comes without a face guard. There are various facemasks, depending on your field position. Sure enough, linemen endure the hardest and most severe blows to the head. Thus, it’s better to choose the mask with an extended jaw flap for enhanced jaw protection. Schutt Sports offers a wide range of face guards - RJOP and RJOP-DW. Choose one of the face masks to get an advantage even in the fiercest football rivalries.
Your Personal Fitness Assistant
People who are engaged in sport and regular physical activity, understand the importance of measuring the body's most basic functions, such as a pulse rate and blood pressure during exercise. A fitness tracker is a convenient way to get at-a-glance updates on your activity. It will calculate distance per day, calories burned, total sleep time, and lots of other tracking data that will help you live healthier and more active life.

Schutt Sports Football Helmet - Gain a Competitive Advantage in the Game!
Some people mistakenly believe that fewer advanced technologies and innovative solutions are used in safety gear for young athletes than for adults. But Schutt Sports proved otherwise, creating a series of youth football helmets that offer unprecedented safety! The helmet is so comfortable and secure that your young player will feel invincible on the field. An excellent combination for impact absorption: TPU Cushioning in the crown and front areas to absorb impact force across a wide range of temperatures and the D30 Cushioning (along the sides and back) to ensure a precise fit on any head shape. The foam part of a helmet crushes to absorb impact energy, so there is no need in the Recruit Hybrid in foam for extra comfort. Besides, the helmet comes standard with the Inter-Link Jaw pads and Soft Cup Chin Strap designed to protect jawline and chin area. According to the football helmet safety standards specified by the Youth Football League, the helmet shell is made of the durable and super lightweight ABS-Plastic.

If your child participates in American football from early childhood, you will need to find the smallest helmet size to ensure it fits securely over your child's head without sliding or wobbling. Schutt Sports offers a wide range of helmet sizes, from XX-Small (Circumference: 19 - 19 ¾).

What is a Football Helmet
If you play American football or wish your child to attend a football club, make sure you use an appropriate safety gear. Sure enough, football is a traumatic sport, as it requires forceful physical contact between players during the course of a game. Luckily, you can prevent many common football injuries by wearing the right protective equipment. A football helmet is a piece of gear designed for protecting your head, face, and chin. So, using a helmet will reduce the risk of head injuries and boost your confidence on the pitch for a truly spectacular football experience.
If you are a baseball player, consider buying one of our baseball bats to make your swing stronger and more powerful. And baseball gloves will protect your hands and reduce the chance of wrist injuries.
What Features to Compare
Recommended For
When deciding on the type of a football helmet, you need to know who is going to wear it. Helmets with polycarbonate shells are better for adult players, as they are incredibly tough and impact resistant. Most youth football helmets are made of ABS plastic that is primarily notable for its light weight. So, you won’t feel neck fatigue at the end of a grueling football match. Moreover, this material has high impact strength and the ability to withstand forceful, direct blows to the head. In fact, many Youth Football Leagues do not allow players to wear polycarbonate helmets, as they can damage ABS helmets in a helmet-to-helmet collision, seriously injuring a player.
Padding
The padding plays an important role in providing comfort during the game and conforms precisely to the shape of the head for maximum safety. Helmet manufacturers try to implement innovative technologies like multi-layer constructions, air-filled and jaw pads, etc. The padding is designed to absorb the impact energy and hold the helmet snug without wobbling and distracting from the game. A large standoff between the back face of the helmet and the head allows inserting thicker cushioning. Most helmets come without a face mask, and this makes sense as different positions in football require different types of face masks to provide the necessary balance of visibility and protection. Typically, three types of material are used for face masks - carbon steel, stainless steel, and titanium. Also, the helmet has a quick release attachment system for the face mask to attach it with as little movement as possible. Some helmets feature a chin strap or visor affixed to the face mask to protect the player's eyes from mud and injuries.
Size
And finally, you need to find out what helmet size fits your head size. How to determine your head size? Measure the circumference around your head with a cloth measuring tape 1 inch above your eyebrows. This will help you determine the proper helmet size. The helmet weight may vary depending on its size and additional protective elements. If the helmet is NOCSAE approved, you can be sure of its superior quality and strict compliance with safety standards.
FAQ:
Q: What helmet is right for my skill level and age?
A: When choosing a football helmet, consider your age, skill level, league, needs, and budget. For young players who are just starting out, there's no need to spend a log of money funds on a helmet. But as you get older and gain experience, you'll need a better and more expensive helmet.
- Put the helmet on, adjusting the chin strap to fit snugly;
- Make sure there’s no space between and the helmet padding or inner liner and your temples;
- Ensure there’s no space between your jaw and the jaw pads you have a helmet with inflatable jaw pads or an airliner, inflate the crown with a pump and jaw pads to fill in extra space so that the helmet sits correctly;
- Make sure the helmet sits at the proper spot on the forehead without wobbling when you move or rotate your head and gives a clear view of the field.
