Face up to 80 MPH Pitch Speeds With Rawlings' S80 Performance Rating Helmet

Rawlings encourages you and the player in your family to “know your speed.” That means choosing a helmet that can protect up to the maximum pitch speed in your league.

For pitch speeds no higher than 80 miles per hour, try Rawlings' 80 MPH batting helmet (model number S80X1S).

The helmet features Rawlings' exclusive COOLFLO® XVI™ helmet design and Heat Exchange™ technologies.

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.

This helmet has dual ear flaps and is made for high school and elite youth players facing pitch speeds up to 80 MPH.

The current NOCSAE® standard equates to 68 MPH baseball pitch speeds. A performance rating of S80 provides added protection and performance to young players just beginning to face advanced pitching in their varsity and travel ball games.

The enhanced ABS plastic shell with translucent matte paint finish is available in black, cardinal, dark green, maroon, navy, purple, royal, scarlet, Texas orange or Vegas gold.

One size fits 7-1/4 to 7-3/4. Find the junior batting helmet under model number S80X1J at Rawlings Gear, which fits sizes 6-1/2 to 7-1/8.

The 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 and in 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.
