Football helmet


 

A football helmet is a protective device used primarily in American football and Canadian football. It consists of a hard plastic top with thick padding on the inside, a facemask made of one or more metal bars, and a chinstap used to secure the helmet. Some players add polycarbonate visors to their helmets, which are used to protect the eyes from sunlight or stadium lighting and impacts. Most helmets are manufactured by Riddell. They are a requirement at all levels of organized football, except for non-tackle variations such as flag football.
