Lacrosse Helmet : What is it?
| Lacrosse helmets prevent head injuries during falls or impact from lacrosse sticks, balls, or other players. They usually have protruding jaw and chin areas for added protection. Most lacrosse helmets come with face masks, a set of grills protecting the face from oncoming balls.

Kinds of Lacrosse Helmets include the following: |
Steel Lacrosse Helmets
Steel Lacrosse Helmets are usually made of black steel, a type of steel reinforced with iron oxides. They offer excellent heat resistance and are ideal for playing in hot weather.
Titanium Lacrosse Helmets
Titanium helmets are made of pure titanium or an allow of titanium and chrome. They are much lighter and more durable than steel helmets. They are also said to enhance a player's vision, which makes them an ideal choice for goalies.
Chrome Lacrosse Helmets
Chrome Lacrosse Helmets are fairly light and durable, although slightly heavier than titanium. They are also less rigid, which allow them to be specially shaped or reinforced with bends in the frame. They tend to chip and dent more easily than titanium. |

Durability: Choose a lacrosse helmet that will not easily break, dent, or crack. Look for one with a hard and shock-absorbent outer shell. Also check the face guards – make sure they are rigid and will not be pushed in by strong impacts from balls or sticks.
Fit: Choose a lacrosse helmet that fits snugly but comfortably over your head. Make sure your head is adequately covered and that the top does not limit your vision. Look for one with adjustment straps to help you tighten or loosen the helmet as needed.
Comfort: Choose a lacrosse helmet that feels comfortable on your head. Make sure the inside is well-padded to provide cushioning for all kinds of rough contact. Choose a lightweight model that you can wear throughout the game without tiring out. |
