What VICIS products should I get based on my child's age?Updated 12 days ago

Youth and Middle School

Helmets

A youth-designated helmet is required for youth football. Youth helmets are built for the types of impacts commonly seen at the youth level. VICIS youth helmets:

Varsity helmets can be worn at the youth level if they fit, but a youth helmet is preferred because it’s tuned for youth-level impacts. Middle school athletes should also use a youth helmet, unless the athlete’s head is too large for any youth model.

Shoulder Pads

The ARC_V1 Youth Shoulder Pads are designed for impacts seen at the youth level and work for all positions.


High School, College, and Adult

Helmets

A varsity-designated helmet is required for football beyond youth and middle school. VICIS varsity helmets:

Youth helmets cannot be worn at the varsity (high school and up) level in any capacity.

Shoulder Pads

VICIS varsity shoulder pads are position-specific. Select the model that matches the athlete’s position, then measure shoulder width to determine the size.
