Just set up my 14u team up with Rip-it this fall. My DD's have used them for years and loved them. Had and issue with the padding coming loose on a helmet a few years ago not more than 6 months after we bought it. I called Rip-it and explained the problem and I had a new one at my door in 3 days.
Rip It Helmet?

The pads in Rip-It helmets come loose over time (6-12 months is pretty typical, in my experience). They can easily be glued back in. I tend to use Gorilla Glue, but there are other glues that work well, too. I keep a small bottle of Gorilla Glue in my coach's backpack for just that reason. It's not uncommon for me to do helmet repairs between games.
I have 2 of them for sale.... navy/white with mask and chinstrap.
One is a medium and the other is a large
Brand new, still in wrapper
Bought them in a large group order, but ended up with 2 extra. Shipped for $40 each or $70 for the pair
PM if interested

The organization we are involved with uses Rip-It, and my DD took a couple pitches to the side of the head last year. One was a solid hit to the ear area, she bounced right up like nothing hit her. We use the black matte, but they take a little extra care to remove the labels without leaving residue marks.
