Dedicated leaders on the football field demand every edge possible from their equipment. The Schutt Air® Advantage® gives them that edge. This helmet is the #1 choice for players who want a lighter helmet, which makes them faster and more agile than the guy lining up against them.

The Air® Advantage® is 12% lighter than the Pro-Air® II, but still maintains the same rugged durability. This helmet features a unique air liner system, which distributes the force of an impact then immediately returns to its original shape. That same liner system makes it easy to get a custom fit for each player, making the Air® Advantage® a favorite of equipment managers at all levels.

Component parts of this helmet are interchangeable which also aids in getting the best fit possible for each individual wearing the Air® Advantage®. Large ventilation holes on the crown allow air to circulate in the helmet, keeping you cool and dry. The Air® Advantage® also features a third chinstrap snap location – perfect for players who don’t fit or don’t like the standard setup.
