Premier Performance Soccer Headgear

My son loves his headgear! He uses it for flag football and doesn’t ever want to take it off! He almost slept in it the first time he saw it. Haha he loves his swag look with it on! Durable and a must have! Great protection for his head and supper comfortable!

I've read many reviews on this product prior to purchase. Some from people with IQ's north or 150, some half that. I've researched it online and I have seen MD's weigh in on the subject. What I have realized is that the opinion you get is relative to the basic understanding or simple physics and that usually has a direct correlation to the aforementioned IQ without regard to letters behind a name.Once you understand that concussion is an injury of deceleration, rather than acceleration, it's easier to understand the practical use of this product. To explain the mechanism of acceleration with rapid deceleration as it pertains to head injury, you must apply Newtonian formulas to calculate forces on the head and brain. These formulas assist in calculating the stresses and energy displacement, such as in motor vehicle crashes. Severity of head injury, measured as the force of acceleration and deceleration, can be determined from such analyses. Deceleration, which must by definition follow acceleration, is the key to the forces in concussion. Deceleration is negative acceleration or decreasing velocity over time. I cannot post the formula for calculating such because it doesn't format, but just assume there is one and it's real.Anyone with a basic understanding of physics will know that if you place anything that adsorbs energy between an object and another object striking it, you reduce acceleration and therefore limit deceleration as found in concussions. Even wrapping a towel around someones head and then headbutting another will provide some protection from a concussion. If you don't believe me, wrap a baseball in Styrofoam then hit it with a bat and see how far it goes. Remove Styrofoam and repeat and see what happens. Rapid acceleration of the brain and then sudden deceleration when it hits the other side of the skull is what causes the concussion. Reduce acceleration and you reduce forces in deceleration. It's that simple! For licensed MD's and other professionals to state that there is no evidence that this product works is ridiculous.Do doctors weigh in on whether seat belts work, or do we look to engineers and scientists skilled in the laws of physics? Do we ask doctors to evaluate ballistics and offer testimony regarding gun shot trajectory and velocity? I think not.Here's the truth about what this product is and what it does:It's a glorified Styrofoam headband made to look semi-attractive enough for a female soccer player to wear it. Does it work in "reducing" concussion? Absolutely it does, based on the simple laws of physics. Does it "prevent" concussion; of course not, that's just silly! I imagine that if you could get your preteen or teen soccer player to wear a jello mold stuffed with packing peanuts on their head it too would reduce concussion, but that's not going to happen.My 10 year old actually likes the way it looks, and she has the gravitas to wear it with pride. I'm happy knowing that she has something between her head and that other girl's when they collide at full speed. Understanding physics, I know that the little bit of energy absorption it provides can be the difference between a mild concussion, no concussion or a skull fracture.There are 2 questions regarding this product and the answers to them are both 100% certain.1) Does it help in the prevention of concussion: With 100% certainty it helps prevent concussion.2) Does it prevent concussion? With 100% certainty it cannot prevent a concussion.When people are savvy enough to understand the difference, the world will be a brighter place!

We had seen a few of these protective devices on girls on a few club teams. I attended a league meeting where they brought up the fact that the Centers for Disease Control had a online training program for concussion awareness [...]and that it was going to be something that coaches and league officials were going to have to have to take in the near future. I went home and ran across some information from a British Journal of Sports Medicine from 2005 - that concluded that protective headgear made it 3.5x less likely to have a concussion from playing soccer if this headgear was worn. That was enough for me - I checked out the various brands, styles and then read the reviews. I ended up ordering the Full90 Premier for my 10 year old. She has had it for about 2 months and has worn it since it arrived. I was concerned that if her teammates made fun of it - that she would not wear it. That has not happened, and she has worn it for Rec, Club and indoor. She does get approached by parents on her teams and opposing teams who are interested in what it is, and they want info for ordering when they see it up close.The Premier - at least the newer model with the logo on the botton larger front panel - fits very well on her head. It has some moisture wicking capability, has a criss-cross style back on it that helps keep it in place, and has Velcro adjustable tabs on the back to customize the fit. It is not obtrusive and it is very lightweight. People have thought that it was nothing more than a 'sportier' headband.Just watched a 'Rock Center' NBC show about the damage that can occur from head injuries sustained by girls in soccer, so I am sure that more people will be ordering these and they will be popping up on a field near you soon. The more I talk to people on the sidelines and at league meetings - the more kids I hear about that have sustained concussions before they even reach HS. Someone remarked - they have to wear shin guards to protect their shins, but they do not have to wear anything to protect their heads. Seems to make sense to me. While wearing this device reduces the changes 3.5x and that may not seem like a lot - your kids only have one brain and we should do what we can do make sure they are protected until they can make their own decisions.

I bought a classic fit size 4.What I liked:Quality is good.Back padding is awesome.What I didn't like:Sizing is wrong (way wrong)Replacing the item for a different size does not work. No matter how many times you try.Background info:I bought a size 4 like I said. That didn't fit although it should have fit big by the chart measurements.I started a replacement because of it. Amazon quickly found me a replacement and started it. Well not quite like that. They sent me a size 5 slim fit (no padding in the back) which for ice skating doesn't work. They also made a one to one replacement (giving me a cheaper version of it!)Returned it, then got a different size 5, now classic fit. The replacement had hair!!!! white hair all over, not sure if dog, cat or alpaca hair for what matters. All full of white hair. I returned it because of it and bought a different brand

Todo fue muy bueno dieron con la direccion.

頭に怪我をしてしまいその保護目的で購入。問題なく着用して走り回ってます。

My son suffered a serious concussion during a soccer game this winter. He bounced his head off the turf and spent a week in the hospital. As he is recovering and beginning to get back on the field he has been wearing this helmet. It is light weight and comfortable. It has not hindered his play what so ever. It is small enough that it does not make him feel self-conscious on the field. After our experience with his concussion and subsequent seizures, I would recommend this product to all youth soccer players. It is not worth the risk to play without protection!!

I am a 70+ year old active stick curler. I have used a padded ball cap style helmet for ten years. When I saw the Full 90, I decided I would try it. I am very pleased. It provides protection around the head rather than just the back. It is lightweight. I highly recommend this helmet.

Es un producto muy bueno ya que aunque no juegues deportes de contacto te ayuda a los choques con otro jugador y te protege de contusiones fuertes
