Guardian SoftShox Chinstrap

Impact-Reducing Football Chinstrap, incorporating hydraulic technology

Guardian Chinstrap is an impact-reducing football chinstrap developed by Guardian Sports in partnership with SoftShox. Its hydraulic technology is designed to compress during facemask impacts, helping absorb and disperse force before automatically resetting after the hit.

In independent laboratory testing, Guardian Chinstrap ranked #1 in HARM reduction among six chinstraps tested at 7.4 m/s. Designed for comfort, fit and impact reduction, Guardian Chinstrap adds another piece of protective technology to the football helmet
system.

Guardian Chinstrap is designed to help reduce impact forces; it does not prevent concussions or eliminate the risk of serious head injury.
