Frequently Asked Questions About Football Helmets
What size football helmet should I get?
Helmet sizing varies by brand, so we recommend using the size chart provided on each product page. Measure your head circumference just above the eyebrows and compare it to the chart to find the best fit.
Are all helmets compatible with visors?
Most modern helmets are compatible with standard football visors. We offer visors from Oakley, Nike, and Under Armour - along with our own model - that fit Riddell, Schutt, and VICIS models. Always check the helmet’s facemask bar spacing for the best fit.
Can I customize my helmet before it ships?
Yes! Sports Unlimited allows you to customize your helmet with a wide range of facemasks, visor options, chinstraps, and color combinations. All customizations are completed before shipping - no delay required.
Do your helmets come ready to use?
Some helmets on our site come with a factory installed facemask but most of our top helmets are sold in separate pieces. There is the option on all of our helmet pages to have your facemask and chinstrap installed by our helmet techs prior to shipping. Some models may also ship with extra padding or accessories that allow for fine-tuning your comfort and fit.
How fast will my helmet ship?
All helmets listed are in stock and ship the same day if ordered before our 3 p.m. ET. Many qualify for free two-day shipping, so you can get your gear in time for game day.
