Frequently Asked Questions About Football Facemasks
How do I know which facemask fits my helmet?
Facemasks are not universal - each is designed to fit specific helmet models. Be sure to match your facemask to the brand and model of your helmet, such as the Riddell SpeedFlex, Schutt F7 2.0, or VICIS Zero2.
What are the differences between skill and lineman facemasks?
Skill position facemasks generally have more open bar configurations for improved visibility and lighter weight - ideal for quarterbacks, wide receivers, and defensive backs. Lineman facemasks use reinforced horizontal and vertical bars to provide added protection against contact in the trenches.
Are facemasks available in different materials?
Yes. Most facemasks are made from durable carbon steel, while premium models use lightweight titanium to reduce overall helmet weight without sacrificing strength.
Can I install a facemask myself?
Yes, facemasks can be installed with basic tools using standard or quick-release hardware, depending on your helmet. Always ensure all clips and screws are securely fastened for player safety.
Do facemasks come with hardware?
Most facemasks are sold without hardware, but compatible clips and screws are available for purchase on the site. Be sure to select hardware made for your helmet brand and model.
Choosing the Right Facemask Style
Facemask styles vary based on position and protection preferences:
- EGOP (Eyeglass and Oral Protection): Popular among linemen, this style provides horizontal bars over the mouth and eye areas.
- ROPO (Reinforced Oral Protection Only): Common for running backs and linebackers, offering protection around the mouth with better visibility.
- F7-Specific Configurations: Proprietary bar patterns engineered for Schutt and VICIS models to optimize airflow and impact dispersion.
