Rawlings' S90 Performance Rating Helmets Take the Game to the Next Level



If you're a high school or college player facing top pitching, Rawlings' S90™ performance rating helmet may be right for you.

Rawlings' 90 MPH batting helmet (model number S90PA) features an exclusive MLB® helmet design with added Heat Exchange™ vents to circulate cooler ambient air.

It is designed to protect against high-speed impacts up to 90 miles per hour, what Rawlings calls its S90™ performance rating. The current NOCSAE® standard equates to 68 MPH baseball pitch speeds.

Targeted for collegiate and high school players who generally face pitch speeds at or below 90 MPH, the S90™ brings increased protection and performance to any player striving to reach the next level.

Rawlings' S90™ dual density foam liner has been added for maximum impact absorption and optimal comfort.

The enhanced ABS plastic shell with clear-coat paint finish is available in black, cardinal, dark green, dark green, maroon, navy, purple, royal, scarlet and white.

It is available at Rawlings Gear in sizes small (6-⅞ to 7), medium (7-⅛ to 7-¼), large (7-⅜ to 7-½) and extra large (7-⅝ to 7-¾).

Rawlings encourages all players and their parents to “know your speed.” Look for the Rawlings seal before you step to the plate. Rawlings' Performance Rating™ can be found on the rear of the helmet, as well as on the interior crown padding.

Other Rawlings Performance Rating™ batting helmets are available at Rawlings Gear.

• NOCSAE® baseball batting helmet standards involve tests of baseballs fired from a cannon at 60 mph at a distance of 2 ft, which is roughly equivalent to an impact resulting from a pitch speed of 68 mph at a distance of 60 ft.
• The Rawlings Performance Rating™ System is based on pitch speeds at a distance of 60 ft.
• NOCSAE® standards require that a batting helmet withstand all test impacts at an established peak severity index (SI). Helmets also must survive all test protocols substantially intact and ready for use.
• The NOCSAE® standard is aimed at reducing the risk of skull fractures. The standard has not been correlated with reducing the risk of concussions from such impacts.

WARNING: Severe head or neck injury, including paralysis or death may occur to you despite using this helmet. No helmet can prevent all head injuries or any neck injuries a player might receive while participating in baseball or softball.
