Baseball Helmets in Baseball Gear & Equipment(230)

Baseball helmets & masks

Whether playing for fun or competition, baseball players need protective gear for the face and head like helmets and masks. To find good quality protective gear, look for a few essential features.

Smart features in a baseball or softball helmet include an attractive design, sturdy construction and venting for maximum airflow and circulation in warm weather. Batting helmets should offer dual-density padding for a snug yet comfortable fit, and some products come with face flaps for additional protection.

Baseball and softball fielder's masks offer varying levels of protection. Look for a product with a lightweight yet sturdy design that doesn't interfere with the player's field of vision. More handy features include an adjustable harness and chin cup and a removable liner.

Baseball and softball catchers require a little extra protection. When it comes to these masks and helmets, look for products approved through the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE). These masks and helmets feature construction that offers the greatest resistance to impact.
