Is the headguard comfortable to wear during a game?

Can I still head the ball effectively while wearing this headguard?

Absolutely. The Storelli ExoShield Headguard is specifically designed to allow players to head the ball without problems, ensuring natural play and performance.

Is this headguard approved for competitive soccer matches?

Yes, it is. The headguard meets ASTM, NFHS, and FIFA Rule 4 standards, and is the official headgear of US Club Soccer, making it suitable for most competitive play.

Does the headguard accommodate different hair lengths?

Yes, its ergonomic design ensures a comfortable and secure fit for players with both short and long hair, including those who wear ponytails.

Does wearing this headguard completely prevent head injuries?

While the Storelli ExoShield Headguard significantly reduces the risk of sports head injuries and protects against cuts and bumps, no headgear can guarantee complete prevention of all head-related injuries.

How do I clean my Storelli ExoShield Headguard?

The headguard features antimicrobial fabrics to resist odors. For general maintenance, wipe it down with a damp cloth after each use. For more thorough cleaning, please refer to the specific washing instructions provided with your product to maintain material integrity and antibacterial properties. Info needed: [Detailed washing instructions].

Troubleshooting

Headguard feels too tight or uncomfortable.

Adjust the chin strap and any other adjustable bands. Ensure the headguard is centered correctly on your head. If discomfort persists, check if the size is appropriate for your head circumference. Info needed: [Sizing guide or measurement instructions].

Headguard slips or moves during play.

Tighten the adjustable straps slightly to ensure a snug fit. Make sure the headguard is worn correctly, covering the forehead and temples. Adjust hair (e.g., ponytail position) to ensure it does not interfere with the headguard's stability.

Noticeable odor despite antibacterial fabric.

While the fabric is antimicrobial, regular cleaning is still necessary. Wipe down with a damp cloth after each use and follow the full washing instructions (when available) periodically to refresh the headguard. Ensure it is fully dry before storing.

For a deeper clean, follow specific washing instructions to maintain the integrity of the protective foams and antibacterial properties. Info needed: [Detailed washing instructions for ExoShield Headguard materials].
  • Drying: Allow the headguard to air dry completely after cleaning. Do not use high heat or direct sunlight, which could damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
