What to look for in a Catcher’s Mask

There are a few things you should consider when buying a catchers helmet. The most important thing to look out for is how much protection the mask offers. Careful consideration should be made to the type of material used for the shell and it should meet your league standards to comply with safety regulations. Another feature that is important to many catchers is how well they can see outside of the mask. A catcher likes to be able to survey the entire field, so picking up a mask that stresses the importance of having a clear vision of the field is probably a safe bet. Lastly, the size of mask is extremely important. Remember a catcher spends most of their day crouched behind home plate. This causes quite a bit of neck stiffness. A helmet sized too big for the catcher could cause serious injuries down the road.

How to size a Catchers Mask

To measure the size of head gear, either take a piece of measuring tape and measure the circumference of your head just above your ears, or take the size obtained from a fitted baseball cap. Match the resulting length (in inces) to the nearest model available from the purchasing location. Since head gear comes in many different shapes and styles, the measurement may differ between goalie style masks and regular catchers head gear.
