Softball Helmets

When we started designing the RIP-IT Vision softball helmet, we were surprised to see just how few options players had. All of the helmet/face guard combos were big, bulky, and awkward. Yes they all met the NOCSAE performance standard, but they didn't really make you a better player. The problem seemed to be that none of the softball batting helmets were designed with softball players in mind.

The complaints about softball helmets were widespread and wide-ranging. It seemed that the best softball batting helmets did at most a few things well, but nothing great.

When we set out to design the RIP-IT line of softball helmets, we targeted the number one trait players and parents wanted in a batting helmet, which was for it to fit just right. We also went after what batting coaches said was most important, seeing the ball. The result is the best vision of all fastpitch softball helmets. As if that wasn't enough, we honed in on what young players wanted most, which was a lightweight softball helmet design.

Best fit, best vision, lightweight. It's what makes the RIP-IT Vision helmets the best softball batting helmets ever engineered and the first that players, coaches, and parents all agree is simply amazing.

Design. Built for hitters.

Lightweight and cool.

We live in a age where everything is getting smaller and lighter. Why should softball batting helmets be designed any different? To build the RIP-IT Vision, we used the most advanced materials available to build a softball helmet. This allowed us to build the lightest softball helmets possible and includes almost as many air-vents as there are hours in a day. As a result, the Vision softball helmets not only feel ultra-light on your head, but they also help you stay cool and dry out on the field.

Blackout Technology.

Softball helmets with face masks can reflect the sunlight and add a distracting glare to hitters. Vision softball helmets are designed to eliminate that problem with the use of Blackout Technology. Blackout Technology is like eye black for your equipment but better and it is exclusive to the RIP-IT brand of helmets and face guards. It eliminates 100% of the glare coming off the face guard and helps you focus on the ball so you can hit like never before.

Vision.

The entire lineup of Vision softball helmets was designed with the face guard in mind. As a result the opening of the face guard provides the best vision possible for softball players. Having a face guard that provides the best vision is important because seeing the ball clearly is a key part of hitting the ball with solid contact.
