Rawlings S100P Batting Helmet Now Has Better Technology, Slimmer Fit

Rawlings has made the smartest helmet in baseball even sharper.

The S100P batting helmet features better technology and a slimmer look for 2011.

The helmet features a multiple impact liner for added protection and PORON® XRD™ material, which creates a unique protective shield that can absorb up to 90 percent of the most intense force.

A special insert provides durability in critical spots a ball may strike the helmet.

All of this adds up to a helmet that can withstand ball speeds of 100 mph.

“I play in the MABL/MSBL, and even though I'm over 50, most of the players in my local area are in the 20-35 age range. Some of the pitchers throw in the 80 mph range, and I feel well protected with this helmet," wrote Viejo54 in a recent online review at RawlingsGear.com.

S100P sizing is designed to provide a snug fit. Players may want to move up a size if they prefer a less snug fit, but a batting helmet should always be worn so that it stays in the correct position as all times.

The S100P helmet also has a three-year limited warranty that covers abnormal defects to the shell, liner and padding.

The S100P batting helmet is the official helmet of Minor League Baseball.
