The All-New ION 4D helmet from Schutt Sports features a faceguard unlike anything that’s ever been seen on a football helmet! The Energy Wedge Faceguard is actually integrated into the helmet shell, not just attached to it. The Energy Wedge Faceguard acts as a shock absorber for the helmet, absorbing up to 15% more of the force from impacts on the faceguard.

Because of the dramatic design, modular shapes and continuous-weld joints utilized in the Energy Wedge Faceguard, your view of the field is panoramic and unobstructed! You see the field like never before! Plus, the engineering of the Energy Wedge Faceguard makes it stronger than traditional faceguards. 

The Energy Wedge Faceguard fits exclusively on the new ION 4D helmet from Schutt – an integral part of the package that makes the ION 4D the best helmet on the field!

This faceguard can be mounted on Schutt football helmets using traditional mounting hardware or the hardware that is required with our exclusive Quarter-Turn Release System. It’s important to note that the hardware is not interchangeable.  

Our exclusive Quarter-Turn Release System featured in our Elite Series helmets uses hardware (screws and T-Nuts) that makes it easier to attach and detach faceguards from a football helmet. The Quarter-Turn Release System requires larger holes be drilled into the helmet shell to accept its special hardware.  

Therefore, older model faceguards will only properly fit helmets designed for the Quarter-Turn Release System if the guard is attached with the Quarter-Turn Release System hardware.  

You should never attach a faceguard to a helmet using traditional hardware if the helmet has been designed for the Quarter-Turn Release System. Doing so may compromise the helmet’s performance
