What are the new NOCSAE youth football helmet standards?Updated 8 hours ago

NOCSAE is the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment, and they recently regulated that by 2027, all new youth football helmets must weigh 3.5 lbs or less. This weight includes the facemask and attached accessories. Existing helmets that are over 3.5 lbs can still be worn after 2027, but they can no longer be manufactured. This is called the "ND006" standard.
