Storelli ExoShield Head Guard, Military-Grade Head Protection, Foam Padding Headband, Official Headgear of US Club Soccer

My 12 yr old daughter is a figure skater and has hit her head several times hard on the ice, once having to go to the ER because she briefly lost consciousness. As a mother, and as a healthcare provide myself, this stressed me out. I researched head protection products for figure skaters for hours before finally selecting this product. She has used it for a month now and she likes the way it feels and looks. It is perfectly snug and really looks like a workout headband. I have only seen her hit her head once while wearing it but of course this particularly fall wasn't as hard as the previous ones because her body hit the ice before her head did but the headband did offer protection and she jumped right back up. It offers protection more for the temple and nape of the head and doesn't really seem to offer protection of the crown of her head.

I am an adult using this while ice skating. My head measures 21 1/2, and I bought a size 4. It fits, but it feels a bit tight. I am not sure if a 5 might slip off, though. I am not sure if it will stretch. I am not sure it the tightness will make it uncomfortable. I wish I had ordered both a 4 and a 5. The item seems well made and is fairly cushy, and about 1/2 inch thick. It says it is machine washable. I am an adult woman. Maybe if it is worn adjusted down a bit in the back, which is like the image in the description, it will be OK. I hope this helps someone. ***UPDATE!!!*** I used it twice and it is great. It feels like it is made from a firm memory foam and it is comfortable for me. The first day I thought it would be too tight, but it's not. You don't want this to be loose or it might not protect when needed. Good product. I have not fallen and hope not to, but I feel this product will cushion my head fairly well if necessary.

Doesn’t look nearly as bad as we thought it would. It essentially just looks like a headband.

Good quality, and it’s good material also washableThe thing is; it has to be tight of course because if not it can fell off but better to double check head size as it can feel very adjusted it only gives you +-1cm or less

I bought this helmet for a child for added safety in soccer after a concussion, because it received a high score in a test. It is very light and feels and looks good, more like a bandana than a helmet. You don't even notice he is wearing it unless you're right next to him. And he likes to wear it! The size chart was very helpful, and the helmet is a perfect fit. It is comfortable, no pressure, but not too loose either. It doesn't interfere with playing in any way and it doesn't affect heading the ball. Altogether, it is great value for money.

This has a padding over the full 360 degrees circumference. Fit is very tight when she first put it on (uncomfortable), but loosens with wear to be almost too big. It doesn't stay in place, and constantly needed readjustment during game. This was definitely a distraction for my daughter.

My granddaughter plays soccer which can become a contact sport easily. After head contacts she will wear the head gear and have very few issues. It is a little tight according to her but lightweight and comfortable, and it does its job in protecting her head.

This was a great protective headgear for our son during flag football.
