Check out Rawlings' Performance Rating™ batting helmet for speeds up
to 70 miles per hour in a two-tone finish.
Rawlings' 70 MPH batting helmet (model number S70X2S) features the exclusive COOLFLO® XVI™ helmet design and Heat
Exchange™ technologies.
This helmet meets or exceeds the NOCSAE® standard up to a pitch speed
of 70 MPH. The current NOCSAE® standard equates to a 68 MPH baseball pitch
speed. Made for youth players who generally face pitch speeds at or below 70
MPH, the S70™ provides additional protection and performance for young players
launching their careers.
Rawlings’ exclusive COOLFLO XV1™ front vents allow for 30 percent more
cool air ventilation.
Heat Exchange™ vents rapidly circulate cooler ambient air. Top vents
quickly move heated air from player’s head, allowing 70 percent more heat to
escape.
The enhanced ABS plastic shell with two-tone glossy paint finish is
available in base colors black, cardinal, Columbia blue, dark green, maroon,
navy, purple, royal, scarlet, Texas orange and Vegas gold.
One size fits sizes 7-1/4 to 7-3/4. Find the junior batting helmet
under model number S70X2J at Rawlings Gear, which fits sizes 6-1/2 to 7-1/8.
This helmet is predrilled for face mask models BBWG and SBWG.
Know your helmet, and look for the Rawlings seal before you step to
the plate. Rawlings' Performance Rating™ can be found on the rear of the
helmet, as well as the interior crown padding.
• NOCSAE® baseball batting helmet standards involve tests of baseballs
fired from a cannon at 60 mph at a distance of 2 ft, which is roughly
equivalent to an impact resulting from a pitch speed of 68 mph at a distance of
60 ft.
• The Rawlings Performance Rating™ System is based on pitch speeds at
a distance of 60 ft.
• NOCSAE® standards require that a batting helmet withstand all test
impacts at an established peak severity index (SI). Helmets also must survive
all test protocols substantially intact and ready for use.
• The NOCSAE® standard is aimed at reducing the risk of skull fractures.
The standard has not been correlated with reducing the risk of concussions from
such impacts.
WARNING: Severe head or neck injury, including paralysis or death may
occur to you despite using this helmet. No helmet can prevent all head injuries
or any neck injuries a player might receive while participating in baseball or
softball.
