One of our grandsons suffered a concussion and I immediately ordered two helmets. They were amazed how much protection the helmets provided. The helmet is something every football player should be wearing.

Our foundation just purchased 240 caps for high school football players in Harrison County. The service from Guardian was second to none, from the ordering to paying and delivery all within one week! I would highly recommend this company! The coaches and players have nothing but praise for the product! Great job and many thanks Guardian!

Our league is thrilled with the new caps. Players immediately noticed in practice that going to the ground was less jarring. Made it through a tough game with a much larger opponent with no injuries too with 90% of our players in the caps.

Warning

No helmet, practice apparatus, or helmet pad can prevent or eliminate the risk of concussions or other serious head injuries while playing sports. Researchers have not reached an agreement on how the results of impact absorption tests relate to concussions. No conclusions about a reduction of risk or severity of concussive injury should be drawn from impact absorption tests.
