When it comes to your football gear, a football helmet plays a vital role in player protection. To help you choose a football helmet look at these elements: the shell, padding, facemask, helmet accessories and fit of the helmet. Please note that no helmet can completely prevent an athlete from injury.
The football helmet’s outer component is the shell and acts as a barrier against impact. The padding is the cushion inside your helmet and comes in two different types: thermoplastic urethan foam and vinyl nitrile foam. The football helmet facemask has a variety of designs to help protect different areas of your face. Helmet accessories include chin straps and eye shields and visors. The football helmet fitting depends on measurements and comfort.
After you buy your football helmet, you should put the helmet on. If it has inflatable pads, pump air into them until the helmet feels snug front to back and side to side. If the football helmet’s padding is interchangeable, adjust them so your head is secure. The helmet should be sitting 1-inch above the eyebrow. Interlock your fingers and press down on top of the helmet. You should feel pressure on the crown, not the brow. There should be no space between your temple and the helmet, and your jaw and the helmet. There should be no shifting or twisting of the forehead or skin against the pads.
