Accurately Fit Your Helmet with Schutts Sizing Charts

Measure Head Circumference for Ideal Helmet Fit

Getting the right helmet fit starts with accurately measuring the circumference of your head. This critical first step will point you to the correct sizing chart for your Schutt helmet.

Use a soft measuring tape to wrap around the widest part of your head, about 1 inch above the eyebrows and over the bump at the back of the head. For the most precise measurement, have a friend or coach assist in placing the tape measure evenly around the full circumference of your head. Measure to the nearest 1/4 inch, being careful not to cinch the tape too tight or leave it too loose.

Record this head circumference measurement to cross-reference with Schutt’s sizing charts. Schutt’s helmet sizes increment in 1/4 inch ranges to dial in the ideal snug fit for optimal protection and performance. A helmet worn too loose can dangerously shift during impacts, while one overly tight will feel uncomfortable.

With head sizes varying significantly person to person, consulting Schutt’s detailed size charts is the only way to accurately translate your head measurement to the best fitting Schutt helmet. Schutt crafts helmets for youth, high school, college and professional athletes across football, baseball, softball, lacrosse and more. So reference the sport-specific sizing chart to zero in on your match.

While helmet sizes between brands do vary, Schutt’s size charts allow you to compare and find the closest equivalent. If you currently wear another brand, cross-check your current size against Schutt’s range to identify the right size for your next Schutt helmet. No two heads are the same, so precision fitting is key. Let Schutt’s 60+ years of expertise provide the personalized fit to meet your needs while helping reduce risk of injury.

Reference Schutt’s Football Helmet Size Charts

Now that you have your head circumference measurement, the next step is to compare it against Schutt’s football helmet sizing charts to identify your ideal helmet size. Schutt provides detailed size charts for football helmets spanning youth leagues right up through NFL professionals.

For youth football players, consult Schutt’s youth football helmet size chart. This guides you through their size increments from extra small through large, corresponding to head circumferences ranging from 19 1/4 inches up to 24 inches. Determine which head size range your measurement falls into to get your starting point for assessing Schutt’s youth football helmet models.

As young athletes grow, you can follow Schutt’s charts to size up accordingly. Having the right fit is crucial to provide proper protection as head and body development progresses. Fitting helmets annually ensures the best coverage as youth players advance through middle school, junior high and high school teams.

For adult football helmet sizing, Schutt’s charts cover small through XXX-large.Measurements from 21 1/4 inches up to 25 1/2 inches are mapped to Schutt’s Varsity and Pro size options. Again, pinpointing your exact head circumference is key to identifying the helmet size tailored to you.

While the NFL doesn’t mandate specific sizing, Schutt charts detail their size correlations. Players with longer oval head shapes may need to size up for the best contoured fit and positioning of shell openings and padding. Trying on helmets in person is ideal, but Schutt’s charts get you started identifying what’s likely to align with your head measurement.

Every footballer’s head is unique, so rely on Schutt’s sizing expertise rather than guessing. Precision helmet fitting maximizes comfort and protection, while minimizing injury risks that can result from a loose or tight fit. Consult Schutt’s football size guides for your perfect match.

Check Schutt’s Baseball Helmet Size Charts

In addition to football, Schutt is the leading helmet manufacturer across baseball, softball, lacrosse and more. For baseball and softball players, be sure to reference Schutt’s baseball helmet sizing charts to get the right fit.

Schutt crafts high-performance batting helmets for MLB professionals down to youth ball players. Their size range spans 6 1/4 to 8 inches, mapped to head circumferences measuring 20 inches to 24 1/4 inches.

To determine your batting helmet size, measure around your head just above the eyebrows and ears. Compare your exact head circumference to Schutt’s baseball helmet size chart to identify your proper match.

As with football helmets, baseball and softball batting helmets must fit snugly to optimize protection and comfort. A loose helmet shifts during sprints around the bases or slides, reducing its ability to absorb impacts.

For catchers, the fit of their protective catcher’s helmet takes on added importance. Schutt catcher’s helmets come in sizes ranging from 6 3/4 inches to 8 inches, correlating to head circumferences of 20 3/4 inches up to 24 1/2 inches.

Measure just above the eyebrows and ears with a soft tape measure. Round your head circumference to the nearest 1/4 inch for the most accurate sizing against Schutt’s charts.

With collisions inevitable at home plate, ensuring catcher’s helmets properly fit and stay positioned correctly is vital. Use Schutt’s size guides to achieve a snug fit tailored to your catcher’s needs.

For optimal protection and comfort at the plate and around the bases, trust Schutt’s expertise fitting ballplayers for over 60 years. Match your precise head measurement to Schutt’s detailed baseball helmet size charts.

Size Youth Football Helmets Using Schutt’s Charts

As young athletes grow and develop, properly fitting helmets is critical but can also be challenging. Schutt provides detailed youth football helmet size charts to take out the guesswork and tailor helmets specifically for kids.

With youth head sizes varying significantly across age ranges, Schutt’s youth-specific football helmet sizing charts are key. Their size increments start at extra small correlating to head circumferences down to 19 1/4 inches.

Measuring heads of squirmy, energetic youth requires patience and care. Have a parent or coach help hold the soft tape snugly around the head just above the eyebrows and ears. Compare the circumference to Schutt’s chart to identify the right youth helmet size.

As kids grow over seasons and years, consult Schutt’s youth size charts to follow their progression. Monitor head circumference at least annually to determine when moving up a size is warranted. Allow room for some growth, but not so much the helmet is loose.

The youth football helmet sizes continue up through Schutt’s “large” designated for head circumferences up to 24 inches. Schutt’s designs also adapt to accommodate differing head lengths and widths.

While kids may want to wear a bigger helmet like their older teammates, accurately fitting helmets using Schutt’s size charts ensures proper protection. The helmet shell and internal padding must make consistent contact all around the head.

Trust Schutt’s six decades of experience crafting helmets designed for youth anatomical development. Use their youth size guides to eliminate guesswork and keep kids safe as they develop on the field.

Find the Right Youth Small Helmet Fit

As young athletes grow, getting the right helmet fit can be tricky. Schutt’s youth football helmet size charts are invaluable for dialing in the proper size, especially for younger kids needing a youth small.

Schutt’s size range extends down to their “extra small” youth helmet designed for head circumferences of just 19 1/4 to 19 3/4 inches. This accomodates younger players, typically ages 5 to 8, in their first years of youth league and flag football.

Measuring smaller heads takes patience to get an accurate reading. Have the child look straight ahead and measure the circumference just above the eyebrows and around the widest point at the back of the head. For squirmy kids, a parent can help stabilize the tape measure.

Compare your measurement to Schutt’s youth size chart. If your child’s head circumference falls into the extra small range, the Schutt Air Standard YXS helmet is likely the right fit.

As kids grow, monitor head size at least yearly using Schutt’s charts to determine when to size up. Allow some room to grow to ensure multi-season use. But refrain from sizing up too much, as a loose helmet reduces protection.

Schutt’s youth small helmet accommodates head circumferences up to 20 1/2 inches. Reference Schutt’s size chart regularly as kids grow to provide proper coverage and safety.

While excited to wear the helmet of older players, accurately fitting youth small helmets using Schutt’s expertise ensures proper protection. A snug helmet sized specifically for a child’s head provides comfort and develops skills.

Schutt Offers Over 100 Helmet Size Options

With heads coming in all shapes and sizes, especially as youth athletes grow, Schutt offers over 100 helmet size options to achieve a personalized fit.

Schutt’s helmet sizing scales all the way from extra small youth up through XXX-large adult. Their size range accounts for differing head lengths, widths and circumferences across ages and positions.

For youth, Schutt’s football helmet sizes start at extra small, designed for head circumferences down to 19 1/4 inches. This provides a snug, stable fit for 5 to 8 year olds just starting out in the sport.

Incremental sizing continues up through Schutt’s large youth helmet, made for head sizes up to 24 inches in circumference. This range covers developing kids through middle school and junior high teams.

For high school athletes and adults, Schutt offers small through XXX-large sizing. Their helmets accommodate head circumferences between 21 1/4 inches up to 25 1/2 inches. Even pro football players find their fit within Schutt’s size range.

With such a broad range of precision sizes, Schutt ensures players at every level experience the safety and performance benefits of a helmet tailored specifically to their head dimensions.

While measuring head circumference is the starting point, also consider the nuances of head shape. Trying helmets on while referencing Schutt’s size charts provides the ideal fit analysis.

Trust Schutt’s six-plus decades of innovative helmet manufacturing to deliver the personalized fit and protection you need on the field.

Understand Schutt Helmet Size Increments

Achieving the ideal helmet fit requires understanding Schutt’s size increments and how they correlate to head dimensions. Schutt helmets are sized in 1/4-inch increments for precision.

For example, their youth small football helmet fits head circumferences of 20 to 20 1/2 inches. Youth medium corresponds to 20 3/4 to 21 1/4 inches. Each 1/4-inch range denotes the next size up.

So when measuring your head, round to the nearest 1/4-inch rather than just the nearest inch. This allows properly cross-referencing your exact head circumference against Schutt’s size charts.

Schutt helmets are purpose-built within these 1/4-inch size bands to deliver consistent, gap-free comfort and protection. A helmet that’s a half or whole size off will not make adequate contact with the head all the way around.

Trying on helmets in your incremental size range lets you hone in on the ideal fit based on the nuances of your head length, width and shape. While two players may share a circumference, their ideal helmet may differ.

For youth athletes, follow Schutt’s 1/4-inch size increments as their heads grow year to year. Annual fittings ensure you have the right data to size up properly at the right time.

With Schutt offering over 100 helmet size options, you can trust their expertise to have the precise helmet for your needs. Focus on that helmet’s specific fit and performance rather than sizing up or down to a certain model.

For optimized safety and performance, ensure your exact head measurement maps to Schutt’s helmet engineered for you.

Size Up Helmets As Your Child’s Head Grows

As exciting as it is to watch your young athlete grow, it also makes sizing their helmet a moving target. Follow Schutt’s guidance to properly size up their helmet over time.

Annual helmet fittings let you track your child’s head circumference and map it to Schutt’s youth size charts. Allow some room for growth, but refrain from sizing up too much.

For example, if your player is solidly in the youth small range but nearing youth medium, consider sizing up to the medium helmet. This leaves breathing room as their head grows over the season and next year.

When measuring head circumference, have them look straight ahead while wrapping the tape measure around the widest point, just above the eyebrows and ears. For squirmy young kids, parents can help hold the tape in place.

Compare the measurement to Schutt’s youth size charts each year. If still in the same size range, you may just need to adjust internal padding for a snugger fit as they grow. But if moving into the next 1/4-inch size band, go ahead and size up the helmet.

Resist oversizing just because it’s the “cool” bigger helmet. A loose helmet shifts during play, reducing protection. Reference Schutt’s guidance to keep them safe through growth spurts.

Trust Schutt’s six decades of experience outfitting youth athletes. Regular fittings ensure helmets adjust to accommodate your growing child’s head size and shape over seasons and years.

Schutt Helmet Sizing Guides Youth Through Adults

Schutt recognizes that head protection needs change across an athlete’s life as their head grows and body develops. Schutt’s helmet sizing system scales to fit youth players all the way through adulthood.

For the youngest athletes, Schutt’s size range starts at extra small to fit head circumferences down to 19 1/4 inches. This specialized youth helmet provides a snug, stable fit for kids age 5-8 first learning the sport.

As children grow over seasons and years, Schutt’s incremental sizing adjusts to their needs. Annual head circumference measurements let you follow their progression through the size chart.

Schutt youth helmets cover developing kids up through junior high and high school. At the upper end, their “large” youth helmet accommodates head sizes up to 24 inches around.

For full grown adult athletes, Schutt’s helmet sizing scales up accordingly. Their adult helmets span from small to XXX-large, fitting head circumferences of 21 1/4 inches all the way up to 25 1/2 inches.

This broad range ensures athletes can find a precision-fit Schutt helmet at every age and stage – from first flag football game through college and the pros. No need to switch brands as you grow.

Trust Schutt’s 60+ years of sports equipment innovation to deliver helmets engineered to protect players throughout their sporting lives. Consult Schutt’s size charts annually for a custom fit.

Compare Schutt Sizing to Other Helmet Brands

With athletes often wearing different helmet brands across levels, comparing Schutt’s sizing to other companies allows you to best match your fit.

While brands like Riddell and Xenith also make quality helmets, their sizing and styling differs from Schutt. So when new to Schutt helmets, use their size charts not just your previous helmet size.

For example, a size large in Riddell correlates most closely to a Schutt size medium, due to variations in shell shape and padding. So don’t assume the same size will translate across brands.

Reference Schutt’s measurement-based size charts instead to identify your starting point. For youth especially, metrics matter more than the shell or brand they’re used to.

Trying on the Schutt options in your head circumference range reveals how the internal padding and overall contour aligns with your head. Helmet shape preferences are also highly individual.

While technology has advanced helmet design, head dimensions stay fundamentally the same. So combine your specific fit needs with Schutt’s 60+ years of experience crafting helmets to optimize protection and performance.

Consult Schutt’s sizing guides as your definitive source when transitioning from other helmet brands. Let your head measurement rather than old size dictate your perfect Schutt match.

Check Schutt’s Size Guide Before Purchasing

With player safety the top priority, double checking Schutt’s helmet size charts before purchasing is a wise move.

Having the latest technology and features doesn’t enhance protection if the fit is off. So accurately measuring head size and mapping to Schutt’s guidance for your sport should happen first.

This is especially critical for youth athletes as their heads grow. What size they wore last season may not still apply. And the helmet model worn by older teammates isn’t necessarily right for their current development.

For adults, don’t assume you fall into the same size range if switching to Schutt from another helmet brand. Variations in internal padding and shell shapes means their sizing differs.

Consult Schutt’s measurement-based size charts for your sport before selecting any helmet. For teams and leagues, ordering the right size mix requires understanding how age and position affect ideal fit.

While excited to upgrade gear, don’t put technology over fit. A helmet worn too loose or tight negates its protective capabilities. Reference Schutt’s expertise so helmets procured deliver the safety athletes need.

For confidence in your purchase, let Schutt’s size charts provide the personalized fit data to inform your helmet buying decisions.

Get Guidance from Coaches on Schutt Helmet Fitting

Achieving the ideal helmet fit involves both measurement and qualitative analysis. Consult coaches for guidance navigating Schutt’s sizing system and models.

Coaches see hundreds of heads over years outfitting teams across youth leagues, high school, college and pro. Their experiential insight supplements Schutt’s quantitative size charts.

For youth athletes especially, coaches used to fitting a range of still-developing heads can ensure parents choose the right helmet size. Checking fit and adjusting internal padding falls within their season prep.

At the senior levels, coaches understand how factors like position affect helmet size selection. Linemen may need a different fit than receivers, for example. Coaches can direct players to the right Schutt helmet options.

In all cases, coaches emphasize proper fit over factors like style, brand loyalty or what teammates wear. Protecting athletes trumps other considerations.

So consult coaches when questions arise after referencing Schutt’s sizing guides. Their on-field perspective sharpens the focus on safety and performance enabled by precision helmet fitting.

For insight supplementing Schutt’s 60+ years of innovative helmet manufacturing, seek guidance from the coaches committed to your athletic development and wellbeing.

Avoid Injuries with Properly Fitted Schutt Helmets

While no helmet fully prevents injuries, properly fitting headgear from Schutt maximizes protection against impacts.

A loose helmet shifts during play, unable to stabilize the head on impact. Meanwhile an overly tight helmet causes discomfort and restricted blood flow.

Only a helmet tailored to your exact head dimensions, with snug internal padding creating a secure fit, provides optimal shock absorption. Consult Schutt’s detailed size charts to achieve this precision.

For parents fitting young players, resist oversizing even if kids want to wear the same helmet as older teammates. Reference Schutt’s youth measurements for a snug fit instilling good safety habits.

For adult players new to Schutt helmets, don’t assume the same size worn in other brands transfers directly. Let Schutt’s measurement-based guidance identify your ideal fit.

While the excitement of a new helmet is understandable, proper fit trumps all other features. Following Schutt’s sizing methodology reduces risk of impacts resulting in injury.

Trust Schutt’s 60+ years of innovation in athletic protection equipment. Precise helmet fitting guided by their expertise provides the first line of defense against injury.
