The Guardian Cap is the leading soft shell helmet cover engineered for impact reduction. It brings a padded, soft-shell layer to the outside of the decades old hard-shell helmet and reduces impact of daily hits. Perfect for interior position groups.

*Helmet and visor are not included.

The NFL Model has an additional layer of padding (green interior) to accommodate NFL speeds; this adds a few extra ounces that we do not recommend for youth/high school players.

- Reduces impact on an average of 10-20% at NFL speeds
- Augments existing helmets to make them pliable and able to more effectively manage energy, addressing the impact severity of blows.
- Pads blows to knees, hands, abdomen, etc. during Inside Run and position drills.
- Reduces sound and vibrational frequencies.
- Reduces radiant heat up to 20°
- Preserves helmets & decals for gameday.

In 2022, the NFL began mandating Guardian Caps for all 32 NFL teams through the first preseason game for all OL, DL, TEs, and LBs. The result? The Caps "exceeded expectations." Additionally, all NFL players were permitted to wear Guardian Caps during games for the 2024 season and the season data showed another successful year of protection.

All Schutt and VICIS helmets worn in practice or games with a properly installed Guardian Cap remain fully certified and warrantied, provided they comply with applicable league regulations and are used at the discretion of players, parents, or coaches. Guardian and Certor are proud to partner in protection.
