adjustable batting helmets

Does anyone know if they still make the helmets with the adjustable dial in the back? My daughter's team is ordering helmets and the helmets they received are too small. Maybe adjustable is the way to go?

I recall an article somewhere about adjustable helmets having safety issues.

Thanks Eric. My DD will hate to hear that. She loved hers in Rec ball. She could wear her hair however she liked. lol

I'm not sure how serious a safety concern there is, but the article cited something. They have a NOCSAE stamp, so they do meet a certain level of safety. It may just have been as issue about not being AS SAFE as a helmet without the adjustable feature. In my mind, proper fit is the biggest concern.

Makes sense. Some girls might have their helmets too loose etc. She'll just have to find a bigger helmet. Thanks again. How's your daughter progressing?

We're just getting back to working at things after taking December (mostly) off of softball activities. Thanks for asking.
