were do u buy this helmet

[SchuttSports]

@polozay11 At any Schutt authorized dealer, online or brick and mortar store.

[DaAZK1D81]

If I'm In between sizes do i go with the smaller size or larger?

[SchuttSports]

@DaAZK1D81 We always try to start a "tweener" by fitting into the smaller size. If we're unable to get a proper fit that way, we move onto the larger size. If you start with the larger size, it will likely require more air in the liner, which might create pressure points in your helmet. Best solution is to try on both helmets, if you can, to see which one gives you the best fit.

[DaAZK1D81]

@SchuttSports So if i go with the smaller size it would require less air, so would that mean its not as safe as a helmet that has more air in it?

[SchuttSports]

@DaAZK1D81 @DaAZK1D81 Not at all. The air really nothing to do with protection, beyond the concept that it makes the helmet fit you properly. A properly fitted helmet is the best protecting helmet. It doesn't matter how much air is in the liner, as long as the helmet is fit properly on you. In fact, a helmet with too much air in it is improperly fit.

[DaAZK1D81]

@SchuttSports Ok Because im At the end of one helmet size and at the begining of another so i just wanted to make sure what my best bet was so ill go with the smaller thanks again 

[the26thhour]

Sure, it would have to be a lot more resilient, but when is motor sport going to catch up to this concept?

[oilermeat99]

revos are better

[DaAZK1D81]

is the dna a good helmet for receivers? because i cant decide between an air xp or a dna

[SchuttSports]

@DaAZK1D81 Either the DNA or AiR XP will be great helmets for a WR. The XP is lighter so that may be a key consideration for a skill position. As far as XL faceguards, probably your best bet will be the DNA-EGOP-XL or the S-EGOP-XL, S-ROPO-XL or OPO-XL for the AiR XP.

[eh335]

My school gave me this helmet this year and i loved it, but next year im trading up and buying my own Schutt Ion 4d! Im so excited for next year!! :D

[lilwanyneboy1]

where do u buy them at i want 1

[SchuttSports]

@lilwanyneboy1 Go to our website and use the Store Locator feature. That will find the authorized Schutt dealer closest to you. Or you can shop at many of our dealers' online stores. A quick internet search will find the info you need.

[RHCPFTW100]

My football team has these helmets and they are so awesome and comfortable. When I get hit I hardly feel it

[SchuttSports]

@RHCPFTW100 Thanks for letting us know. We appreciate you trusting us for your helmet choice. Remember - keep your head up! Let us know how things are going with your team.

[bgw4016]

i have a size large it is a very well built product. Most helmets are not fun to wear but i like wearing this one.

[SchuttSports]

@bgw4016 Glad to hear that. Thanks for letting us know.

[nerfguy7]

does it run big or small cuss i where a medium in a revolution ?

[SchuttSports]

@nerfguy7 It should run pretty true to size but if it's off, it will likely fit a tiny bit big.

[DEWBLAST88]

Can you put a regular faceguard on a xl helmet

[SchuttSports]

@DEWBLAST88 No. Only XL faceguards on XL helmets.

[MrQualityGuaranteed]

Hi, my 8th grade football team has this type of padding inside but its not as high tech as these helmets but these are still stellar!

[SchuttSports]

@MrQualityGuaranteed That's great to hear that your team is is using some of the best helmets on the field. The current TPU Cushioning is now in its third generation. You may have the second gen...

[XIYourbrotherIX]

hey are you guys gonna compare another helmet to the riddell 360

[SchuttSports]

@XIYourbrotherIX As soon as we see an actual, real 360. We're not sure those helmets aren't more than vaporware - considering everyone is complaining about not receiving their helmets.

[SchuttSports]

@XIYourbrotherIX We have some great products working their way through the development pipeline but there's no specific time frame for a new helmet. And we don't develop our products to answer products that aren't as good as ours. As far as helmet tech goes, they're playing catch up.

[johncenafan396]

penn state i think its a requirment to wear this

[SchuttSports]

@johncenafan396 Penn State has chosen to wear only Schutt helmets for the same reasons that we talk about to everyone else: better impact absorption, better heat management and better hygienics.

[Dinox242]

is this helmet protective/?

[SchuttSports]

@Dinox242 See all the comments and watch all the vids. IONSHO, this is the best helmet on the market, in terms of value and performance.

[ladawg81]

i got a dna its so amazing. im actually watching tv in it right now. its so snug

[Lesliechow58822]

@schuttsports Thanks for answering my question. Also why don't NFL players wear these or Ion 4D's instead they wear cruddy Riddell's that have no protection

[SchuttSports]

@Lesliechow58822 There's a lot to say to answer your question but the league incentivizes the teams to put their players in Riddell helmets by their contract with them. THBS, we're pretty proud that despite that, over 30% of the players in the NFL choose to wear our helmets, instead of taking the free ones they get from Riddell.

[Lesliechow58822]

@Schuttsports R the jawpads vinyl covering bcs when I got mine they were like stirofoamish and burned my ears. I'm asking r they like traditional vinyl or different

[SchuttSports]

@Lesliechow58822 All new varsity helmets from Schutt come standard with TPU Jaw Pads. You'll know you have these if you see a blue section of the jaw pad. If you don't, you have the vinyl-covered, standard jaw pads. There should be no difference in materials that touch your skin, though, as the TPU Jaw Pads have an exterior section that is vinyl covered.

[bigdl72]

my coach decided not to buy dna's because he said he's seen them pop off more often than any other helmet. Any comments or thoughts on that?

[SchuttSports]

@bigdl72 We would tell you that your coach is either not watching closely enough or he's not correctly identifying the helmets that are coming off. There is a certain series of helmets (not ours) that because of their jaw flap design, make the helmet harder to fit correctly. The stiffness of those helmets - when a faceguard is attached to them - makes many players fit them too large. Thus they're more likely to come off. THBS, any helmet that is not fit properly can come off.

[Rexkwondotyger]

RIDDELL REVO SPEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alexoli1]

What's the cost for this helmet in a LARGE size?

[SchuttSports]

@alexoli1 Will be around $175, give or take a few bucks.

[TheDivineSRB]

Do you do delivery in Serbia?

[TheDivineSRB]

What's the cost for this helmet?

[SchuttSports]

@TheDivineSRB It will be about $170, give or take a few bucks.

[mesha1ism]

thumbs up Short Film

[SchuttSports]

@mesha1ism Thanks very much. Appreciate the time to let us know that.

[ebrito325]

why does my dna pro plus helmet always hurt my head after i use it for like an hour or two? do you know how i can stop that from occuring?

[SchuttSports]

@ebrito325 The only thing we can think that might be causing that from the helmet side is if the helmet isn't fit properly - it might be too tight. Check out our fitting video for the DNA Pro+ here on our YouTube channel.

[ebrito325]

@SchuttSports i checked out the video and i did everything that the video said to do and like it feels comfortable but it still hurts my head after a while of use not right a way

[ebrito325]

@SchuttSports 

[ebrito325]

@SchuttSports i saw the video and followed all of the directions and it still feels comfortable when i put the helmet on but yet it still hurts the sides of my head after a while of use

[ebrito325]

everytime i wear my dna pro + helmet it always hurts my head after a while of use and i was wondering why that happens and how i can stop that from occuring everytime

[rrrrrrrrex]

Got this helmet a couple of months ago... I just changed the TPU cushions because of comfort; besides that, the helmet it has a great performance at heat release design and impact absorption!, I'm looking forward to acquire the Ion 4D, I'd rather buy schutt instead of Riddell

[SchuttSports]

@rrrrrrrrex While we're disappointed that the helmet was perrrrrrrfect, we're glad you're sticking with Schutt.

[Sh3aCas3m3nt]

Don't get this helmet get the schutt air xp this helmet is unsafe I got two concussions last year

[SchuttSports]

@Sh3aCas3m3nt While we're worry about your concussions, we have to call you on the "this helmet is unsafe." There is no such thing as a concussion proof helmet and while we believe in the performance advantages of our TPU cushioning, there are too many variables that affect (can cause) concussions to lay blame on the helmet.

[65raidernation]

whats a good schutt helmet for a lineman?

[DocHavoc0512]

Is this helmet lighter than your original helmet?

[SchuttSports]

@DocHavoc0512 Not sure what you mean. Do you mean lighter than our original DNA Pro helmet?

[ThaMuse07]

So, if I'm understanding correctly the DNA is heavier than the XP Air, but provides more TPU = Better Protection. Just how much heavier is the DNA than the Air? I'm all about lightweight.

[NightHawkSWG]

So how does the dna compare to the ion 4D haha

[SchuttSports]

@ gametocken: Glad to hear it! Thanks for letting us know. If you have some photos of your team in action, we'd love to see them at our fb page

[gametocken]

Our highschool uses these for our sophmore jv and varsity teem there so fricken nice.

[SchuttSports]

@ APDanny: it's a good helmet for anyone on the field.

@ venomsk8tr: It sounds like the side liner of the SUREFIT liner is leaking (either malfunctioning or punctured). Since you bought it at Barcelona (they're one of our dealers), you'll need to take it back to them to have it looked at. If it's malfunctioning or defective they'll replace it.

[venomsk8tr]

@ruby Penelope I got one today at Barcelona sporting goods in memorial I love it buy can someone help me. The top air inflator is working but the one that wraps around the back and sides isn't working

[JoNeE03]

What's the best helmet for a Linebacker/Running Back and where can I get one?? I live in Perth, WA Australia!

[SchuttSports]

@theNaples239: any of our Schutt line of varsity helmets will work for a WR. The AiR XP is a little lighter (but that depends alot on the type of facemask you wear) so that may be something for you to consideer.

@MrALECNELSON: Love to hear man!

[MrALECNELSON]

i love my DNA its the best helmet iv worn

[theNaples239]

whats the best helment for a reciver.

[kalebmokukaleb]

I used this helmet last year... It was a good helmet.

[RubyPenelope]

Where can I buy this helmet? I am currently located in Houston, TX

[SchuttSports]

Broomy88: The DNA is great for any position. Before the ION came out Penn State and Texas Tech had nearly 100% DNA helmets. With a large stand-off we can put thicker TPU cushioning that provides better performance.

[Broomy88]

hi again,

will the DNA pro plus be a decent helmet for a cornerback?

[SchuttSports]

Broomy88: The DNA is heavier than the XP but the guard will make a big difference. If you want the large offset and thicker padding of the DNA and want it to be light like the XP then go with a Titanium guard on the DNA

[Broomy88]

hi,

i have heard that the DNA pro+ is heavy but is it much heavier than the XP and how about the 4ion, plus if you added the titanium faceguard to the pro+ would that make it lighter/as light as the air xp with its standard face guard. Basically just want to know if there's a huge difference and say playing cornerback could you wear the Schutt DNA pro+ and it not be to heavy.

just needed some info

thanks

[dinodog1234]

check out my visor

[SchuttSports]

thexfactor5: The video really highlights the features of the ION and what makes more superior that traditional foam helmets. The ION is worn by QB's like Pat White and if you're concerned with weight consider getting a Titanium mask it will make a big difference from the traditional carbon guard. The XP is lighter and you might want to check that video out as well.

[thexfactor5]

Looking to buy a helmet, and got it narrowed down to two, this and the revo speed. What can you tell me about this helmet and why is this better than the speed? I like this helmet a lot, but i heard its really heavy..I'm a running quarterback so I want to stay as light as possible. I've had 3 concussions right in a row..8th grade year, freshman year, and this year my sophomore year, so im looking for a helmet to protect, I like the speed a lot, what makes your product better?

[sactownemoney]

Awesome helmet! I can hit so much harder without getting headaches anymore. It was night and day when i went from my old AIR helmet to my new Schutt.
