A
batting helmet is the best possible form of protection for your head while playing softball. It will not only protect your head, but the facemask will help protect your face as well. We have seen what can happen out there and it's not pretty.
Basic Features of Fastpitch Softball Batting Helmets
We carry
Easton helmets and are the same ones used in both the
Little League World Series and the
College World Series.
Features include:
- High-grade ABS shell
- Meets NOCASE standards
- Soft urethane comfort
- Rubberized matte finish
Size of Helmets
Easton helmets come in two different size ranges. The
SR sizes fit a range from 6-7/8" to 7-5/8". The
JR sizes fit a range of 6-3/8" to 7-1/8". With girls we have generally found that because of their hair, the SR helmets fit most of them. It takes a small girl to get into a JR helmet. If you feel like they are between sizes, Easton makes
extra padding called a fit kit.
Choosing the Right Softball Helmet
It can seem complicated so we've decided to make it real simple. We have split our batting helmets up into three categories:
Good,
Better, and
Best.
Just click the heading below for the category of helmet that best fits your needs, or narrow your search even further by selecting the exact skill level you are looking for!Good Softball Helmets
-- These helmets are great for first-year or rec players that are maybe only playing weekends and just need something to get by. It is the shiny style and does not have the grip finish to it, but the inside is the same as the "better" level helmets, so it protects you just as well. The mask does not come attached.

-- These helmets are for your serious travel ball, high school, or club team player. The inside of these is different with new BioDri fabric liner. A lot of teams like to match, and as the saying goes, "Look good, feel good, and you will play good." The mask does come attached and will match the helmet -- if the helmet is red it will have a red mask. The Prowess helmet comes in two different sizes: S/M is 6" to 6-7/8" and M/L is 6-7/8" to 7-3/8."
