The Recruit Hybrid + showcases the sleek, aerodynamic shell of the DNA™, which the players love, but also features the advanced level of protection parents desire. That same spherical shape helps turn aside some of the biggest hits, changing the helmet-to-helmet collisions into more glancing blows, while the SUREFIT air liner provides a precision fit and provides ideal comfort.
See those unique dart-shaped holes on the helmet crown? Yea, they look cool but they’re also a functional ventilation system, circulating air to keep you cool.
The Recruit Hybrid + is an offspring of the DNA™ Pro™ helmet, which has been designed to not only meet NOCSAE standards, but also the tougher standards being championed by Biokinetics and Associates Ltd. Their standards are based on recent research conducted on behalf of the NFL. The DNA™ Pro™ was a finalist for the 2004 Sports Product of the Year because it changed the way everyone thinks about football helmets
That’s the kind of heritage the Recruit Hybrid + brings to the field, which means it’s the perfect choice for any coach or parent looking for an affordable, premium helmet.

If you have symptoms, immediately stop and report them to your coach, trainer, and parents. Do not return to a game or contact until all symptoms are gone and you receive medical clearance. Ignoring this warning may lead to another and more serious or fatal brain injury. NO HELMET SYSTEM CAN PROTECT YOU FROM SERIOUS BRAIN AND/OR NECK INJURIES INCLUDING PARALYSIS OR DEATH. TO AVOID THESE RISKS, DO NOT ENGAGE IN THE SPORT OF FOOTBALL.
