batting helmets

[burlap1980]

So I am looking into getting a new batting helmet for my daughter. Right now she has an easton and complains of vision issues.
So does anyone have one they would reccomend.
We have been looking at the Boombah, the rip it and the schutt helmets.
Any help would be great
Thanks

Rip-it.

You never hear anyone complain about them. Both DD's prefer them. DD#1 has a Schutte on her summer team but HS team has Rip-it. The Schutte is a nice helmet but weighs 34 oz. Her Rip-it weighs 28.

The Rip-it was bought new for '02 DD in August of 11. Back then that was a new model helmet and they only offered one model. They have been practicing hard and playing full spring/summer/fall schedule and I see that we prob ought to think about replacing them after state/nationals. Helmet is solid but I doubt we can just replace pads, one of pads in her helmet is just plain wore through.

I believe link above is hot, I looked at the forum help but cant figure out how to put photo on post... Little help, Blue?

Rip-It all the way.

Lighter, better visibility and more comfortable (according the vast majority of girls who've tried it, at least) than any other.

According to DD, Rip It is the best-she previously wore a Schutt and complained of it being too heavy and hard to see out of.

we have always used Mizuno and Schutt, the higher end Schutt is the best yet

Rip-it. Great helmet.

Rip-It... if she still has issues, use the same helmet with a battle helmet mask (clear plastic).. although rip-it mask should be good enough.

Most TB and HS teams will issue a helmet as part of their uniform package.
