The Schutt ION 4D Youth Football Helmet delivers the same impeccable protection, comfort, and playability as its big brother, the varsity ION 4D, but in a shell design fit for youth football players. Filled with the advanced TPU cushioning system that cradles your head in impact-absorbing, temperature-regulating, and anti-microbial comfort and protection, the ION 4D never quits, breaks down, or stops keeping you safe, even after seasons of use. Its large off-set shell creates a larger, more aggressive profile while putting more room between the shell and your skull. This larger off-set also allows room for more of the injury-preventing TPU cushioning, giving you the most amount of impact-absorbing safety possible.

 

ION 4D Technologies:

TPU Cushioning System:
The ION 4D uses Thermoplastic Urethane (TPU) Cushioning that's been proven superior to traditional foam padding in game-like conditions: better impact absorption, better heat management and better hygienics.  TPU cushioning won't take a compression set, won't break down (even after thousands of impacts) and is resistant to mold, mildew fungus and bacteria.

*This graph demonstrates the amount of impact force a player's head experiences while wearing the helmet. Helmets are subject to a pass/fail certification testing by NOCSAE, conducted at room temperature, and temperatures above 100 degrees, to simulate in-game conditions.

SUREFIT Air Liner System:
The ION 4D features a two-piece SUREFIT inflatable air liner system for the crown and lateral areas of the head, which can be inflated before each game for an incredibly comfortable, customizable fit.  The SUREFIT air liner is made from a soft, yet durable anti-microbial material that gives you a precise, custom, snug, and safe fit right out of the box.

Energy Wedge Faceguard:
This unique and amazing faceguard system directly integrates the face mask into the helmet, turning the faceguard into a shock absorber, absorbing up to 15% more impact energy from direct frontal impacts than traditional faceguards. The Energy Wedge faceguard is stronger than traditional faceguards and gives you a wide, unobstructed view of the entire field.

Air Maxx TPU Jaw Pads:
Utilizing the same TPU cushioning system used in the other parts of the helmet, Air Maxx Jaw Pads deliver incredible comfort and protection from impact for your jaw and mandible areas.

 
Youth Football Helmet Features:
  • Facemask NOT included
  • Large offset Lexan engineered polycarbonate shell (.140" thickness for optimum performance) provides for more TPU cushioning to protect the head
  • Polycarbonate shell delivers a great combination of low weight and high protection properties
  • AiR-LOC dual lock inflation valves for both the crown and lateral air liners use a Velcro attachment system to keep the valves in place, so you don't have to struggle keeping them lined up
  • Newly redesigned faceguard retainer more close resembles and performs like traditional nose bumpers
  • Removable Moisture Management forehead pad wicks sweat away from the forehead for a more comfortable game and clearer vision
  • Quarter Turn Release System makes it less complicated and faster to change your facemask - a simple quarter turn of the screw either releases or locks the facemask in place*
  • 6 large crown ventilation holes
  • Multi-functional ear hole design
  • Multiple-option chinstrap integration
  • Meets NOCSAE Football Standards
  • Helmet includes: Schutt hard cup chinstrap and one pair of 1-1/8" AiR Maxx TPU jaw pads
  • Avg. Weight: 3.3 lbs
  • Please Note: Helmet requires an ION Facemask (Not Included). Click here to see all ION Helmet Compatible Facemasks (Size XL helmets require ION 4D XL Facemask)
  • For the best protection and performance select an ION 4D Titanium Facemask, almost 50% lighter than stainless steel

*Product Update: Schutt has recently made a slight change to the ION 4D.  Sizes Small through Large no longer include the Quarter Turn Release facemask attachment. These helmets include standard screws and posts with a new one-piece nose bumper.  Size XL still comes with Quarter Turn Release.  Sports Unlimited still has Quarter Turn Release helmets in inventory and for the time being, cannot guarantee which style will ship.  Please call customer service if you have any questions about this change or need help with your order @ 1-800-693-6368.

Great helmet. We needed to order the adult large for my 13 year old son (5'7 & 120lbs) He usually wears a Medium but it was way too tight. We went with the large and inflated the linerfor a goo fit. The vision of the mask makes a huge difference and gives an edge.

  Why not?, August 21, 2011
Posted By: Ben

After my son was given an entry level helmet by his league I thought "Why would I not buy him the best helmet available" After researching I thought the Ion gave the best protection. Cost wise I don't think paying $200+ for the protection of my 12 year old sons head is an issue. He likes the helmet and he really liked the wide array of facemask choices.

One of the very best helmets available at this time. Periodic checks of the air bladders are necessary but should be done on any helmet with an air system. Shorter air delivery needle recommended to avoid puncture. Very satisfied.

This helmet is the best i've ever used. I got this helmet because I wanted a safer more durable helmet, I got my bell rung less times and a headache less times than my old helmet.great for any position. I totally recommend this helmet.

  Youth Ion, September 6, 2010
Posted By: Proud Papa

After one half of a practice my 13 year old was ready to toss this helmet. I even went to get his old helmet, but he "suffered" through the rest of practice. After practice he showed me that the problem was the padding on the centerline at the base of the skull. There is actually quite a bit of TPU padding back there, but it doesn't compress much for comfort. He tried his old helmet, but quickly realized the superiority of the Ion. He hasn't complained since, but I'm guessing that it could be a little more comfortable.

  The Beast needed the safest helmet, October 22, 2010
Posted By: L. Washington

I just received my 11 year old sons Ion4D Youth Helmet, he is one of the heavy hitters on the team & I wanted to get him the safest helmet after cracking his DNA, I purchased the Xenith first & thought it was nice but he complained about the top padding & the sad face look that helmet gives him, the Xenith was stolen with the rest of my coaching equip. so I went with the ION4D, he seems excited really hyped with this one..

  great helmet,too heavy, August 9, 2011
Posted By: tony howard

Got this helmet for my 11 year old son last season. He said the the helmet was very comfortable overall but hurt his neck due to the weight. This helmet is almost twice the weight of other helmets and will slow smaller players down. I would definitely recommend this helmet for high school and above.

  Schutt Youth Ion 4D, September 13, 2010
Posted By: New Jersy Buckeye

Comfort and protection-wise, this is a tremendous helmet. Problem is that it is very heavy for most youth players. My son is 8, and he couldn't support the weight of it. I let my 11 year old try it out, with the same result. We exchanged it for the Schutt Youth XP, which is much more acceptable weight-wise while still being a safety/venting upgrade from the standard youth Air model.
