What is the purpose of a Guardian Cap?Updated 2 months ago

The Guardian Cap adds a soft, padded outer layer to traditional hard-shell helmets, helping reduce impact by absorbing and redirecting force. Its low-friction surface also lessens grabbing during play, and lighter colors can lower helmet temperature by up to 20°F.

Physics shows that a soft outer layer reduces initial impact severity, allowing less force to reach the head — similar to soft walls in NASCAR or car airbags. Guardian Caps offer that same added protection for athletes.

They’ve also helped reduce hits to ribs, hands, fingers, knees, and heads — making practices safer for all positions.
