Shop baseball and softball batting helmets for children, youth players and adults. Start with the player's measured head circumference, then compare the size range, fit and protective features of each model. A helmet should fit securely and meet your competition's requirements. Check whether a faceguard or jaw guard is included, optional or required for your intended use.
Measure around the head just above the ears and compare the result with the manufacturer's chart for the specific helmet. Use the same unit as the chart, whether centimetres or inches. Labels such as child, junior and senior help you browse, but the stated measurement range is the deciding factor.
After trying it on, check the fit using the manufacturer's fitting instructions. Do not choose a larger helmet simply to leave room for growth; reassess the size as the player grows.
A helmet's available accessories are not necessarily included in the box. Read the product listing carefully to see whether a faceguard, jaw guard or chin strap is supplied, and which accessories can be fitted.
Compatibility depends on the helmet model and the approved attachment. Some jaw guards are also specific to right-handed or left-handed batters, so check batting side when selecting one. Browse batting helmet accessories and match the accessory's compatibility information to your helmet.
