User questions & answers

Question:	My son is a 6'6" volleyball player who sustained a recent concussion. His measured head circumference is 24 inches. Will a size 2 fit him? Size
Answer:	It would be better than nothing but it is made of soft material. More made for soccer players to help w head to head contact or head to turf contact. Not sure about baseball to head contact.
Question:	I am an old dude prone to falling, usually with bloody drastic results (slamming my forehead on the sidewalk). I think this should help, don't you
Answer:	Yes it is adjustable. Two velcro straps in the back, one on each side allow you to comfort fit the head gear.
Question:	Is it reversible? I’m considering buying this for my children who play basketball but they are not allowed to wear headbands with logos
Answer:	depends on the seller I have one in stock
Question:	What if your head measures 23”. What size do I otder
Answer:	My 9 year old son is using the medium/small size full 90 (it only comes in two sizes I think (medium/small & Large). From seeing how it fits him, I would guess that any child between 5 and 13 year old would use the medium/small and anyone older should go for the large. It is very adjustable so it fits a wide range of head sizes.

Proven effective by Virginia Tech’s independent/accredited lab

Virginia Tech impact tests evaluated a headgear's ability to reduce linear and rotational acceleration of the head resulting from head-to-head impacts a soccer player might see on the field. Headgear with more stars provides a reduction in risk. For soccer headgear, VT recommends the Unequal Halo 3 as a 4-star headgear and the lightest in the recommended category. While the entire Unequal headgear family scored well in VT’s impact performance, with Halo 3 we believe we have provided outstanding safety combined with the comfort and appearance players prefer.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you think this product would help protect a baseball pitcher. Its better looking than anything badeball specific i have found
Answer:	I bought Cashew Flowers pattern, and I needed to get camisole to wear under it, but i love the dress and think it would be fine in an office. I also bought a solid color and honestly the solids, in cotton, feel more casual somehow? I'm sending it back only because the color was not good on me, but I"m not sure if I'll buy another solid or another pattern. The pattern ones are some sort of soft, slightly clingy polyester
Question:	Is it adjustable
Answer:	I am size 16-18 and the XXL fits me perfectly. I don't think it would fit a 22.
Question:	I need to order 12 SM/MD in black do you have that quantity
Answer:	Yes. I liked the fit of the dress very much, but had to return the white color because it was see-through (especially the back)!
Question:	how do you size this
Answer:	Im 5'9" 200lbs and XL fits perfectly

In addition, for maximum performance, the Head Guard must be sized and fitted properly, and replaced promptly if fit loosens over time or falls off during participation in soccer or other sports.

Answer:	It would be close but even if you stretch it out, it still may be kinda tight. It’s a good product so it may be worth it to order it and check it out.
Question:	Does this cover the back of the head? If it does how far back

You can also use a black sharpie to black out our logo which may satisfy your basketball rules. We've done this before with athletes who wear our headband but are not allowed to show a logo. Let us know how you make out. You can call us anytime.
Question:	sizing chart
