Built with a polyester shell and lining, large vent openings and a contoured ear design, the VICTRIDGE headgear focuses on routine bump protection and sound awareness rather than hard-shell collision restraint. It’s intended as supplemental padding for non-tackle play and scrimmages where soft headgear is allowed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much protection does the soft shell provide?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe helmet uses a continuous 10mm layer of high-density EVA foam that wraps critical areas: the crown, forehead, sides and ears.

The VICTRIDGE Soft Shell Flag Football Helmet is aimed at youth and adult players in non-tackle formats—7v7 flag football, touch football and rugby drills—who want lightweight, breathable padding that protects against routine bumps without the bulk and noise reduction of a hard-shell helmet. Coaches and recreational leagues that permit soft headgear will find this an easy-to-fit option for practices and scrimmages. It is not a substitute for certified hard-shell helmets required for full-contact play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is this helmet suitable for tackle football?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. This is soft-padded headgear for non-tackle formats; it does not replace a certified hard-shell tackle helmet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How do I choose the right size?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Measure head circumference 1 inch above the eyebrows.
