Lacrosse helmet face shield is an essential piece of equipment that provides a physical barrier from liquid splatter droplets. This can help reduce the number and severity of concussions incurred by lacrosse players when the ball, stick or another player hits them in the head.
The shield can be easily wiped down and disinfected, which is important for athletes who might have to leave the field due to an injury or illness. It is also a great way for coaches and other trainers to check on the health of players and monitor for symptoms of concussion.
A high quality face shield should fit securely and not move around. It should be comfortable to wear and not restrict the athlete’s vision. It is also important to ensure that it is a good match for the specific helmet model.
It is possible to change the face mask on a lacrosse helmet but it is not recommended. It can be a difficult job and changing the face mask voids the warranty and the NOCSAE safety certification for the helmet. It can also be dangerous for the athlete as they might not be able to see well with the new face mask in place.
Most lacrosse helmets are made of ABS plastic (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). This is a tough, shock absorbent material that allows the shell to be injection moulded. The process starts with pellets of plastic that pass through a heated drum in the injection molding machine, melting into a glassy malleable state. This then fills the mould cavity and cools within minutes.
The resulting helmet shell is extremely strong and lightweight due to its high impact design. The outer layer is smooth and hard while the inner lining is soft and designed to disperse energy. The inner lining snaps into holes drilled previously by an industrial robotic drill and is held in place with a silicone seal. The shell and lining are then finished with a clear plastic coating that makes the helmet water resistant.
While the outer shell protects against blunt trauma to the head, the interior lining and foam padding actively disperse energy from stick and ball collisions. This dispersal of the force allows the shell to stop the movement of the athlete’s skull while preventing serious brain injuries.
In addition to a helmet, male lacrosse players should wear a jock strap and cup/athletic supporter. The jock strap is an important piece of safety equipment because it prevents the genital area from being injured by the ball or sticks while protecting against impact to the front and back of the genitalia. This is especially important for those who play in a position where they will be facing other players or the ground. The athletic supporter will also provide protection to the genital area from impact, and should be comfortably fitted to ensure that it doesn’t restrict the ability to run, jump and squat. It is highly recommended to speak with a sports sales professional that is familiar with lacrosse equipment to ensure that your jock strap and athletic supporter is a good fit and meets the appropriate safety standards.
