Choosing the Right Baseball Helmet with Baseball360
At Baseball360, we know how important it is to protect every player at the plate. That’s why we offer a top-tier selection of batting helmets. Whether you’re a beginner or pro, our team will help you find a high-quality baseball helmet that fits right and delivers unbeatable protection and comfort.
1. Helmet Size and Fit
Choosing the correct helmet size ensures batting helmet protection and comfort. A high-quality, well-fitting batting helmet should sit snugly on the head without shifting. Fit enhancement pads can help customise the fit, giving every baseball player—especially senior players—a reliable helmet that feels secure throughout regular play and intense games.
2. Jaw Guards for Added Safety
Modern helmets often feature jaw guards for improved facial protection. These additions shield the jaw bones and lower face from wild pitches, increasing safety. A well-fitting batting helmet with a jaw guard is especially important for players who face faster pitches and need dependable, full-coverage batting helmet protection.
3. Durable Construction Materials
A reliable helmet must be made with durable construction to withstand repeated impact. High-quality batting helmets are built using ABS plastic or polycarbonate shells, ensuring long-lasting use. Baseball players should prioritise helmets with proven impact resistance to maintain optimal safety and performance on the field, from youth to senior levels.
4. Comfort and Breathability
Fit enhancement pads and ventilation channels improve comfort, making helmets easier to wear for long periods. A well-fitting batting helmet should feel natural and offer consistent airflow. Baseball players will perform better with headgear that balances comfort, protection, and breathability—especially during hot innings or back-to-back games in a tournament.
5. League Regulations and Player Requirements
Each league, from minor league baseball to fastpitch softball, has its own set of helmet regulations. Baseball360 helps ensure every player eligible, from school players to seniors, meets these standards with our concussion-proof helmets, special helmets without ear flaps, and a variety of helmets in styles and sizes. Our sizing guides and batting helmet measurements are designed for you to find the closest size, ensuring essential site functionality and comfort.
It’s crucial for both Major League Baseball enthusiasts and amateur players to choose baseball helmets that are SEI and NOCSAE certified, reflecting adherence to the highest safety standards.

Children's Baseball Helmets Vs Adult Baseball Helmets
Kids' baseball helmets are designed with smaller sizes, lighter materials, and extra padding to ensure a secure and comfortable fit for younger players. Junior baseball helmets often include adjustable features to accommodate growth and enhance batting helmet protection.
In contrast, adult baseball helmets are built for stronger impact resistance and typically offer advanced features like jaw guards and fit enhancement pads. Both helmet types prioritise safety, but adult helmets are better suited for higher speeds and competitive play, especially among senior players and veteran athletes.

Do baseball helmets expire?
All helmets have a shelf life. Check your helmet's expiration date, typically 10 years from manufacture, to maintain optimal protection. Damage or wear? Replace it, even if it hasn’t reached the expiry date to ensure your head is always properly shielded.
How to clean a baseball helmet?
If you really need to wash the pads inside the helmet, you can wash them by hand or in the machine. If possible, remove the pads from inside the helmet; you can throw those in the washing machine and let them dry outside. For the helmet, use a mild soap with a piece of cloth and wash the surface of the helmet. In no circumstances should the helmet be fully submerged in water. This can cause a lot of damage, and we strongly recommend not doing it.
How to measure baseball helmet size
To ensure you get the right baseball helmet, measure your head circumference and check our sizing chart—available online and in-store. Visit us for expert help; our friendly staff will gladly measure and guide you to the perfect fit from our wide range of helmet sizes.
Can softball players buy baseball helmets?
Baseball and softball helmets are extremely similar, they both are open-face helmets and both can have dual flap helmets. Protective helmets are all made for the same reason: to protect the head from any forced hits. You can wear a softball helmet during a baseball match and vice versa. The difference between the type of helmet used in baseball major leagues is that baseball helmets only cover one ear if the extra protection extension is not added.
How much are baseball helmets?
Baseball helmets typically range from $30 to $150, depending on brand, features, and quality. Basic models suit beginners, while high-end helmets offer enhanced protection, ventilation, and jaw guards. Investing in a well-fitting, high-quality helmet ensures better batting helmet protection for both amateur and professional players.
What is Strauss on baseball helmets?
Strauss refers to a patented steel frame technology integrated inside some baseball helmets. This internal reinforcement boosts impact resistance and durability, providing extra protection against high-speed pitches.
