Perfect for our star player

This was a great buy for the star player in our life. When life safety and head injury are in question, we can never stop looking for additional protection and risk reduction. He also thinks it’s really cool, so that’s also a plus. He plays for 2 teams and I wish I could afford them for each player on his travel team. Buying them one at a time!

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.
