Rawlings' Performance Rating S100 Helmet Is Made for the Best



The official helmet of the minor leagues can be yours at Rawlings Gear.

Rawlings' 100 MPH batting helmet (model number S100P) is designed to withstand a ball impact of 100 miles per hour, as it absorbs 75 percent of the impact's energy before it reaches the player’s head.

It's the top of the line for Rawlings’ Performance Rating™ helmets, featuring PORON® XRD™ padding with Outlast® and Pro-Dri® material for comfort.

This helmet is the proven choice for Minor League Baseball® and Rawlings Gear customers.

“Great fit and good protection,” wrote one reviewer.

“This is the only helmet I let my son wear,” added another.

Rawlings' 100 MPH batting helmet carries Rawlings' Performance Rating™ of S100 and is NOCSAE® certified for game use.

The current NOCSAE® standard equates to 68 MPH baseball pitch speeds. Using Rawlings' Advanced Impact Management System™, the S100 provides protection for any player wanting the best protective performance in the game today.

In addition to its protective padding, this helmet features Heat Exchange™ vents that 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 clear-coat paint finish is available in black, cardinal, dark green, maroon, navy, royal and scarlet, with two-tone options as well.

The S100™ helmet comes in sizes 7, 7 ⅛, 7 ¼, 7 ⅜, 7 ½, 7 ⅝, and 8.

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. 

Other Rawlings Performance Rating™ batting helmets are available at Rawlings Gear.

• 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.
