Best Football Helmets for Your Safe Football Experience

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you feel hungry right before your football game, you need a healthy low-calorie and nourishing snack to help fuel up for a game and unlock your true potential. A protein bar is a healthy, natural snack that contains a high proportion of energy-boosting carbohydrates and protein. And you won't have a heavy feeling in your stomach that may occur after eating solid food and result in diminished performance.
