RIDDELL FITTING GUIDE:

  • A properly fitted helmet is an important first step in player protection
  • To determine head size, wrap a cloth measuring tape around the circumference of the player's head
  • Measure approximately 1" above the player's eyebrows.
  • Record measurement and refer to chart below
  • If measurement falls between helmet sizes, choose the smaller size
  • Due to varying head sizes, the chart below is ONLY a recommendation

RIDDELL SPEEDFLEX YOUTH HELMET SIZE CHART:

  • S: Hat Size = up to 6-1/2"; Circumference = up to 20-3/8"
  • M: Hat Size = 6-1/2" - 7"; Circumference = 20-3/8" - 22"
  • L: Hat Size = 7" - 7-1/2"; Circumference = 22" - 23-1/2"
  • XL: Hat Size = 7-1/2" and up; Circumference = 23-1/2" and up

CHECKING FOR A PROPER FIT:

  • Interlock hands on top of helmet and press down - player should feel pressure on crown of their head, not their brow
  • Skin of the forehead should move with the front pad
  • Front of helmet should be about 1" above the eyebrows
  • Jaw pads should feel firm against their face
  • There should be no room for twisting
  • If the helmet slides easily over the forehead, inflate liners or try a smaller helmet
  • To avoid injury or discomfort, never wear a helmet positioned too high or too low

ADJUSTING THE CHIN STRAP:

  • Buckle top and bottom chin strap into snaps
  • Cup should be centered and snug over their chin
  • Adjust chin strap until cup is firmly pressed against their chin
  • When buckled, helmet should feel comfortable and snug

Great Helmet!

Great helmet! Son loves it! Very comfortable and safety is top of the line!

Super Comfy And Easy To Put On But Not Loose.

I’m 10 and I play tackle football and I’m a wide receiver, and last game I took a pretty big hit to the helmet, and I felt nothing thanks to the new helmet.

My Son Was Super Excited To Get This Helmet. It Fits Him Perfect.

I believe its worth the money to help my son prevent from getting head injuries.

Wonderful

I would have expected nothing less from Riddell. The helmet fit was great and the structure of the helmet was excellent. My son loves it , he has had a Riddell helmet since he started playing football in the second grade. My father was a coach and I would not put my son's safety in any other helment. I was excited to see all of the information that came with the helmet if you had any questions. I received my order in 7days quicker than expected. I am very pleased with my purchase and Dicks Sporting goods customer support was fabulous to work with.

Great Product!!!

Bought this recently for my 9 year old and he loves it. He reports it is incredibly comfortable and the helmet latch system makes putting it on and taking it off easy. Shipping was quicker than what was quoted, it was definitely money well spent.

Faulty Air Bladders And Terrible Customer Service

I purchased one of these $330 helmets thinking I would be getting the best protection available for my son. After the very first full contact practice two of the liners would not hold air. I have tried to get replacements through Dicks and directly through Riddell but I get absolutely NO response, just crickets... I won't buy another riddell product or shop at Dicks again.
