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

BUY THIS! Bought this for an elderly person with balance issues. That person loved the fact that it looked like athletic gear instead of a crash helmet, and it provided much of the same protection, as far as falls go. This headband literally extended that person’s life for a couple of years due to it protecting the head during falls. The material is thick and somewhat rubbery in a good way. Would recommend to any person at risk of falling.

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.

My head measured 22 3/4 diameter, so I ordered size 6. I was afraid it would be too large, but when I opened the package and put it on, the head guard was actually tight. I was disappointed. Size 6 was the largest size you can buy. Then I realized it had been sitting outside in the cold weather having been delivered while I wasn't at home. So I gave it a chance to warm up a bit, and tried it again. Still too tight, but not quite as tight as it was though, so I left it on, and as it warmed up and my head got used to it, it began to feel better. Now after having it for a week, when I put it on, it seems to be no problem fitting. Yes, it's still snug, but not uncomfortably tight as it first was. other than that, it is designed to protect, and I feel like I bought the right product for that. It is nice and light, however, it covers the right areas without looking bulky. It looks sporty. I really don't mind what it looks like anyway, I'm 75, I fall several times per year due to foot drop, plus I had a stroke 3 years ago. I am very happy to get this head protector. I told my wife I will only wear it when I attempt to do stupid stuff when I could possibly need to protect my head. She said I might as well wear it all the time then :) It is a very well designed and well made product, I highly recommend it.

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.

Works pretty well, I use it in judo when playing big guys to avoid getting a lump from banging heads. All headgear looks a bit goofy to some peers, but I don’t like ganglean cyst lumps or concussions so I will wear it. The size 6 fit my fairly large skull well.

I plan to use this for ice-skating, but it was too tight and caused discomfort on my head. I also wasn’t totally convinced this would protect my head if I fell on the ice.

I got the Classic, with more padding, instead of the Slim. I needed some head protection for use on a Lime (or other rental electric scooters, where I'm out and about, but not carrying a full bike helmet. Is it a good scooter helmet? No. Is it way better than nothing? Absolutely. My head measures 22.25", technically a size 5, but from reading reviews I chose a smaller size 4. Glad I did -- at first it was too tight, but after 30 mins or so it's loosens up *just* enough.

My 9-year old daughter started field hockey this year. At the beginner level it's really just a bunch of kids crowding around and looking down at the ball, so not unusual for kids to knock heads. I'm a pediatrician and a bit of a worry-wart in general, so probably more conscious than most about concussions and neurological development. There is a lot of concerning data, most notably that the risk of suicide in teenagers is significantly increased in kids who have had 2 concussions in the previous year. Virginia Tech has done an extensive set of tests and ratings for headgear. I went through all of their 4 and 5 star ratings and the Storelli was the best in terms of price, protection, and looks. A kid wearing this headband who takes a conk on the head is expected to be 84% less likely to get a concussion than a kid not wearing anything at all. It does have to stretch out a bit and the kid'll have to get used to it. I found the sizing off the website to be pretty accurate. After it stretches, it looks just like a bit of a bulky headband and is tough to notice especially if your kid has longer hair that just goes over it. All in all, very happy with the purchase and consider it well worth it to protect my daughter's brain.

Bought the largest one they make, a #6. It was VERY tight fit. Going to try stretching it. As it is it's way too small unless you're looking for a headache in under 5 minutes.

サイズで迷ったので メジャーで頭回を計ってみたら56cmだったのでサイズ5にしました。きつ過ぎず大きすぎず良い感じす^^

Excelente producto.

Excelente producto para la seguridad de los jóvenes y niños que practican deportes de contacto.

Demasiadooooo rígida para el fin que tiene. Y muy apretada checar bien la talla e incluso pedir una talla más
