Youth and Adult Softball Helmets
Sports Unlimited carries softball batting helmets sized for youth and adult athletes at every level of play.
Youth Softball Helmets: Scaled for younger players with secure fit systems that stay in place through every at-bat. Youth helmets meet the same NOCSAE standard specification as adult models, so young athletes get the same level of protection at the plate.
Adult Softball Helmets: Full-size options for high school, travel ball, and college players in a range of colors to match team uniforms. Adult helmets offer a larger viewing window and roomier fit for athletes who have outgrown traditional helmet sizes.
Face Protector and Mask Options
Softball batting helmets include an attached face protector or face mask to shield athletes from pitches and foul balls. Unlike traditional baseball batting helmets, softball models feature a face mask that attaches to the helmet shell and extends down to cover the chin and jaw.
Steel Cage Face Protectors: Durable steel wire construction offers a clear sightline to the pitcher. This facemask design provides a larger viewing window while meeting NOCSAE standard performance requirements for impact protection.
Integrated Face Masks: Some helmet and mask combo designs feature a one-piece construction where the face protector connects directly to the shell. This setup reduces the required hardware and creates a streamlined look.
Helmet Construction and Durability
Softball helmet shells are built from ABS plastic or ABS thermoplastic materials that absorb impact and protect the head.
ABS Plastic Shells: A proven material that meets NOCSAE standard specification for batting helmets. ABS plastic offers solid durability through multiple seasons of use.
Ventilation Systems: Strategically placed vents in the shell help keep athletes cool during hot games and tournaments. Air flows through the helmet to reduce heat buildup without compromising protection.
Chin Strap and Fit: An adjustable chin strap keeps the helmet secure during swings and sprints down the baseline. To find the best helmet, measure your player's head circumference and check the brand's sizing chart before ordering a new helmet.
