Schutt Vengeance

Dual Compression TPU (DCT)
The next generation of advanced cushioning, DCT delivers two layers of TPU inside the helmet. One layer of stiffer TPU is positioned to absorb impact energy from less-frequent, high force collisions. The second layer of softer TPU is designed to dissipate impact from the more frequent, low-impact collisions.

High Impact Foam Liner
A new fit liner system adds a third layer of protection around the crown and front of the helmet, increasing impact absorption in typically vulnerable hitting areas.

Re-Designed Shell
A mohawk polycarbonate shell with the largest offset in Schutt's lineup is aggressive and strong, without a sigificant increase in weight or profile.

Vengeance Facemask
Re-Designed facemask system provides wider coverage and better visibility, along with a raised eyebrow arch that improves impact absorption from frontal impacts.

Cusomt Fit Liner
Impact-absorbing foam liner cushions the head for a comfortable fit.

AiR-LOC
Keeps the dual lock inflation valves in place, for easy and fast inflation of the liner.

Ventilation Holes
To keep air moving and improve breathability, large ventilation holes in the shell dump hot air and allow cool air through.

Vengeance Facemask
Wide field of view and improved frontal protection.

Riddell 360

Improved Concussions Protection

Hexagonal Liner System
Energy managing foam in a breathable, moisture managing liner provides extra impact absorption and delivers incredible comfort.

Re-Designed Shell
A larger shell offset, with extended sides, the 360 shell better manages impacts anywhere around the head.

Flex Faceguard
A flexible facemask, with new facemask hinge clips allows for a slight flex, to absorb more impact energy from frontal hits.

Hexagonal Liner
Comfortable, moisture wicking, fabric liner with foam hexagonal shapes, cushion the head for maximum in-game comfort.

Enhanced Occipital Lock
Cradles the back of the head for improved comfort and stability.

Inflatable Jaw Pads
