Football Helmet Warranty For complete details on the helmet warranty, warnings and helmet care be sure to review the football helmet fitting guide that can be found on this website. Important — Warranty -— Performance You may replace or change any part or component of the Schutt Helmet System as long as you follow the manufacturer’s guidelines. However, alterations, additions or any component deletions or removals you make to the helmet may void this warranty and could adversely affect the protective capabilities of the helmet. Should there ever be any question regarding the warranty, evaluation or function of a helmet and/or the component parts, please contact Schutt Sports for a free helmet inspection. Paint Warning Substances applied to the helmet shell which are not compatible with the shell material can cause deterioration, embrittlement and/or breakage, thereby exposing the wearer to unnecessary risk and danger. Usage of non-compatible parts, polishes and/or cleaners will render the helmet shell unsafe for further use and will void warranties. Use only Schutt approved primer, paint, thinner, polishes, and cleaners. For proper helmet painting, contact a NAERA Licensed Reconditioner or Schutt Service Center. Failure to comply can destroy shell integrity and void warranties. If you have any questions concerning paint application, please call Schutt Sports at 800.426.9784 Helmet Warranty The warranty for poly-carbonate shells is five (5) years. In order to honor the shell warranty (after the first year of use), reconditioning by a NAERA certified reconditioner is required every other year. Use only factory replacement parts to validate the warranty. The warranty for ABS shells is three (3) years. Although reconditioning is not required to validate the warranty period for youth helmets, it is recommended that a regular repair and replacement program be adopted until the helmet is retired. Air liners are warranted for a period of one (1) year. Helmets covered under the warranties should be returned in whole with all internal components intact to the Schutt Sports dealer from whom purchased, along with evidence of the purchase date, for return to the Schutt Sports Manufacturing Company. Schutt will inspect the helmet and will determine the disposition of repair or adjustments, or replacement free of charge. Use of Third Party and After-Market Products on Schutt Products All Schutt helmets and faceguards are manufactured and certified to meet the current NOCSAE performance standards. Alterations, additions or any component deletions or removals made to the helmet or faceguard that do not follow the manufacturer’s guidelines may void any applicable warranty to the product and will void the NOCSAE certification of the helmet and faceguard. Schutt Sports recommends against the use of any third party, aftermarket product or accessory that alters the fit, form or function of the helmet or faceguard. Third party, aftermarket products that are used on a Schutt helmet and do not follow manufacturer’s guidelines will void the NOCSAE certification and make the helmet or face mask illegal to use in most organized football leagues, games or other activities.

Please contact customer service at 1-800-426-9784 or schuttstore@schutt-sports.com for return instructions. Visit the Return page for more specifications.

Custom painted helmets are painted specifically to your specifications. They cannot be returned. If the fitting is not right, a new liner can be ordered in a different size.

Please see the fitting guide section on our website. This section has information about both baseball/softball and football fitting.

• Molded helmets are unpainted shells. They are made of either ABS or PCA plastic depending on the helmet type.
• Matte Finish helmets have a matte clear finish applied to them that reduces the shine and makes them appear “flat”.
• Painted helmets are molded helmets that have a paint color and high gloss finish added to them. This helps make them shine brighter.

Helmet colors will vary with screen settings. Each helmet is hand painted and may not appear exactly as the other helmets.

Maintenance of the Schutt Helmet System is very simple. Any worn component part is easily replaced or changed, and if a fitting adjustment needs to be made, accessory parts are available from your local Schutt Sports Dealer. The 8500 Sideline Kit is pre-packaged with many of the items needed to perform the routine maintenance for your helmets. If your Schutt helmet has an AiR liner- It should be checked periodically to see that proper air pressure is maintained for the liner system.

The best way to maintain shoulder pads and other gear is to wipe it down with disinfectant wipes or regular dish soap and water and then wipe with a wet cloth. Allow the pads to completely dry after cleaning. Ensure you clean the inside cushion, outside cushion and plastic arches. Sanitizing, again, can be done by using our Ultra Blitz application sprayed onto all surfaces – remember to get under the epaulets and wear a respirator. Do not wipe off but allow to dry completely. The active ingredient will remain effective for up to 28 days. Similarly, there are other sanitizing systems that can be used. The EPA provides a comprehensive list of disinfectants - EPA’s Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) – not approved for helmet use. Storage in a warm, dark place while still damp or otherwise not fully dry promotes bacterial growth, so store pads and other gear in a well-ventilated conditioned space.

Commercial cleaners and polishes may damage the helmet shell or liner (and void your warranty), so cleaning should be limited to regular dish soap and water. Use a sponge or toothbrush to scrub nooks and crannies.  Do not submerge helmet in water. Be sure to rinse after cleaning and allow the product to completely dry.

Sanitizing can be accomplished by using our preferred Diamond Seal Ultra Blitz application via a traditional spray bottle set to mist mode or more effectively using an electrostatic sprayer set to fine mode.  Spray inside and out and do not wipe off.  Ultra Blitz’s active ingredient remains effective for up to 28 days. Application of Ultra Blitz should be done in a well-ventilated area while wearing a respirator.  Other systems, like Ozone, can be used for sanitization as well.

Avoid warm, dark, moist storage areas.  Proper storage should be in a well-ventilated conditioned space.
