When we started designing the RIP-IT Vision softball helmet, we were surprised to see just how few options players had. All of the helmet/face guard combos were big, bulky, and awkward. Yes they all met the NOCSAE performance standard, but they didn't really make you a better player. The problem seemed to be that none of the softball batting helmets were designed with softball players in mind.

The complaints about softball helmets were widespread and wide-ranging. It seemed that the best softball batting helmets did at most a few things well, but nothing great.

When we set out to design the RIP-IT line of softball helmets, we targeted the number one trait players and parents wanted in a batting helmet, which was for it to fit just right. We also went after what batting coaches said was most important, seeing the ball. The result is the best vision of all fastpitch softball helmets. As if that wasn't enough, we honed in on what young players wanted most, which was a lightweight softball helmet design.

Best fit, best vision, lightweight. It's what makes the RIP-IT Vision helmets the best softball batting helmets ever engineered and the first that players, coaches, and parents all agree is simply amazing.
