March 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Baseball batting helmets are important in the protection of your body. This means that you have to find one which can provide a good mix of durability, protection and design. However, you should also know how to find the right helmets that specifically complements your own needs, and more importantly, be able to meet NOCSAE and all association safety standards.
So what are your option?
There are plenty of brands on the net. Some popular brands of helmets include Schutt, Easton and Worth. Although we can’t go and review every last product that they have to offer, we can draw certain ideas based on the certain product comparisons. Each one of these brands offers something special to you, so it’s proactive to examine a product from each of these brands and see how they might help you in the long run.
Easton
In the case of Easton, we should use the Natural Jr Batting Helmet as our primary example. For one thing, it’s a youth baseball helmet which is designed for players aged between 6 to 12. In addition to the usual features of a good batting helmet, this helmet also possesses the slimmest profile and an aerodynamic venting system. Also, for additional fit and comfort, the Natural Jr Batting Helmet provides VN impact foams as well as soft urethane comfort forms.
Overall, it provides pretty much all the qualities of a good helmet. So if you’re looking for something like that, this is the one to get. In terms of price, you might be glad to know that it’s worth around $19.99 and easily more affordable compared to other types of helmets.
Worth
For Worth, let’s use their Liberty Batter’s Helmets, another youth baseball helmet. Slightly pricier than Easton, this helmet features better safety and protection through the inclusion of a high impact polymer shell. But it doesn’t end there. It also uses an alloy of reinforced bill, and a NOSCAE compliant faceguard for additional protection. These various features meet NOSCAE and all association safety standards.
The Liberty Batter’s Helmet is also a versatile helmet in being a one-size-fit-most helmet. In terms of comfort, it includes wicking material lined padding. It also uses a ventilation system to allow air flow for additional breathability.
And lastly, it includes a decal system for personalization as well as a complementary fleece storage bag for portability as well as security. Overall, this baseball helmet is pretty well made and features more benefits than Easton’s Natural Jr Batting Helmet. Of course, it also costs more at $29.95.
Schutt
To illustrate the advantages of Schutt helmets, let’s use Schutt’s Air 7 Batter’s Helmet as an example. At $44.95, this helmet is pricier than most helmets but it does provide an impressive number of benefits and features. In terms of features, this helmet includes the New AiR-X Shell, which is designed to maximize ventilation while at the same time, maintaining fit, comfort and protection. Also for additional comfort, the Air 7 Batter’s Helmet includes the AiR-Pod interior pads to provide a better fit. Split back padding are also used to ensure maximum comfort. And also, AiR-Dri front pads are also included to provide moisture management as well as anti-microbial protection.
And finally, Schutt helmets also allows for additional add-ons, including helmet colors, size variations, face guards and guard colors. There are several options which are available to you, but for additional costs, of course. In short, Schutt batting helmets provide more features but at higher costs.
