Softball Helmets

How does your softball fly? Does it softly arc in a speed-controlled slow pitch, or do you play underhanded, no-limits, base-stealing fast pitch? Pick your game, head to Hibbett | City Gear and then step up to the plate with confidence.

Professionally fit helmets keep players of all ages comfortable and safe. The advanced technology of today's softball helmets provides optimal performance and unsurpassed comfort. Find your fit and style from brands like Easton, Mizuno, Rawlings, RIP-IT and Schutt helmets at Hibbett | City Gear.

Adult & Girls’ Softball Helmets

Whether for batters or catchers, fast pitch or slow, softball batting helmets are the ultimate in baseball protection. Keep your head in the game — and covered — with durable, lightweight ABS plastic over shock-absorbing, dual-density or EVA padding. Maximum game play also deserves maximum comfort. When selecting a softball helmet, look for sweat-wicking and breathable features like airflow vents and antimicrobial liners.

These technological features offer streamlined, high-impact protection for players of all ages, from girls’ softball helmets through adult sizes.

Finding a Fit

Much like finding the right fit when choosing a pair of softball cleats, you’ll need the right-size softball helmet to ensure peak protection during games and practices. Here are a few tips on finding the right fit, whether you’re looking for a RIP-IT or Easton helmet:

• Measure head circumference.
• Consult the manufacturer’s size chart for each helmet model.
• Try it on. Make sure that the softball helmet stays firmly in place and doesn’t wobble from side to side or front to back and rests an inch or so above the eyebrow.
• Consider more padding. Can’t find a helmet with exactly the fit you need? No worries. Adding extra padding to the helmet can help with a more custom fit.
• Find the features you need. A chin strap will help keep your helmet firmly in place. Ear guards come standard on most softball helmets. Helmet faceguards add an extra layer of protection in front of the face.

League Rules

Not sure what type of softball helmet to buy? A good first step is to check with your coach or your league to determine whether the helmet is acceptable according to the rules and standards.
