We strongly recommend that Schutt® Sports Mfg. Co. or one of it’s approved NAERA member reconditioners apply the new paint, because of the very specific procedures that are required. Please contact Schutt® Sports Customer Service Department for information on approved reconditioner: 1-800-426-9784. If your football helmet has labeling that says ”DO NOT PAINT” please do not attempt to paint it. If your helmet does not say this the approve paints are as follows: Color-Set INC, WURDACK, INC, Sherwin Williams Corp, AKZO/Sikkens, DuPont Corp, & Createx Brand.

Currently, Schutt Sports does not make a visor for the ION4D. We know of no other company that makes a visor that fits an ION4D without alteration. We have seen some ION4D helmets with visors installed. To the best of our knowledge, those visors have been modified by their users, not by the visor manufacturers, to fit the ION4D. We do not recommend altering a manufacturer’s product to fit the ION4D.

The Varsity DNA Pro+ is specifically designed for the varsity player; it’s made of a durable Polycarbonate shell that withstands more force. It comes equipped with 7/8” jaw pads to accommodate most varsity players (other sizes available).It also features a varsity soft cup chin strap that is designed to fit older, bigger players.
The Youth DNA Pro+ is specifically designed for the youth player; it’s made of a durable ABS shell that’s lighter weight than the varsity model. It comes equipped with 1 3/8” jaw pads that are thicker in size to accommodate the smaller and thinner face of youth athletes. It also features a youth soft cup chin strap with longer straps; the youth cup is smaller and is designed to fit younger, smaller players while the longer straps work in tandem with the SUREFIT slots that bring the chin strap directly on the chin – closer to the face providing a secure fit.
