Batting Helmets - Protection You Must Have

Sports equipment has come a long way especially in the area of safety. Batting helmets are one of the most important pieces of equipment you can have to protect your softball players from injury.

Manufactures such as Wilson, Rawlings, and Louisville Slugger design quality helmets to keep players safe. When selecting a batting helmet for your youth softball player, it’s important to know what’s available.

Helmet Safety

When picking a batting helmet for you or a young player, always consider safety first then any added features the helmet is equipped with.

All bats are held to performance standards but did you know that today’s helmets are held to a protective standard set by the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE)?

When selecting the batting helmet that is right for you, be sure it is NOCSAE rated.

Many helmets are made of high-impact ABS shells and very dense foam padding to protect and absorb energy as well as provide a comfortable fit.

Additional safety features like chin straps and facemasks or guards can be added to helmets providing extra safety for those tough at bats.

Helmet Features

Today, colors and sizes are not the only features to consider in shopping for a new batting helmet.

Some manufacturers helmets are designed with a cooling system called “Coolflo” which allows air to flow inside the shell to keep you cool.

For the women, your next at bat can be with a helmet that come equipped with a back channel allowing for ponytails or braids to poke through. This provides the ultimate helmet comfort and fit for girls with long hair.
