what do you think about the wilson fx2.0 helmet?

[reagansdaddy]

The are the top of the line mode from Wilson. Sorry, don't recall the model exactly. They are specifically designed for female fastpitch players.

Both my daughters have used the Shock FX helmets for years. Anyone who says they're too heavy was probably looking at the baseball model (which is much larger and has a much heavier cage). They are light, durable, and look pretty sharp as well.

Any suggestions as to where a guy could get the best deal on one of these for his DD?

Thanks, I looked for one in a local Sports Authority this weekend but the don't seem to carry it (not on the shelves or in their store's computer system). I wanted to find a local shop so DD could actually try one on. We just got her new Schutt leg guards and CP a month ago and she's still liking her old Easton helmet for now but she's growing fast and seeing a lot tougher action behind the plate so I'd like to step up the protective factor on her noggin a bit.

You're not going to find much high-end gear in Sports Authority or any big box store, really. Although I was pleasantly surprised to see Mizuno Samurai stuff at Dick's last weekend.

Note that the Wilson comes in two sizes...the small size is only appropriate for the smallest of noggins. The large is quite adjustable and fits pretty much any size head.

Schutt helmets are the best in the market. all-star is overpriced

All Schutts in general...or do you recommend a specific model?

He is right on the Wilson helmet. It's pretty small as is the chest protector. The 12 was too small for my 4'6" dd. the small legs are a little big for her but she is adjusting.
