When RIP-IT started designing their helmet they were surprised to see just how few options players had. All of the helmet/face guard combos were big, bulky, and awkward. Did they protect you while hitting? Yes. Did they make you a better player? Not really. The problem seemed to be that not a single helmet was designed with the needs of softball players in mind. So, when RIP-IT set out to design a helmet they targeted the number one trait players and parents wanted in a batting helmet, which was for it to fit just right. They also went after what batting coaches said was most important, seeing the ball. And as if that wasn’t enough, they honed in on what young players wanted most, which was a lightweight design. Growing up we can all remember hearing time and again “keep your eye on the ball”. Vision allows you to do this better than anything else out there. This is because Vision is the first helmet built around designing a better face guard. The result is seeing every pitch, every time, no matter where it is thrown. Vision also incorporates Blackout Technology into its face guard. The way it works is awesome and it is exclusive to RIP-IT. Blackout Technology is like eye black for your equipment but better. It eliminates 100% of the glare coming off the face guard and helps you focus on the ball so you can hit like never before. We live in an age where everything is getting smaller and lighter. So RIP-IT asked the question, why not use some of these same new technologies and materials in a batting helmet? As a result, Vision is ultra lightweight and has the most air-vents of any helmet in the history of softball. This combination means that the Vision is not only light on your head, but also helps you stay ultra-cool. Vision is not only the most advanced helmet for softball, it is the one that works with you to be the best hitter you can be. Buy one today and see just how awesome complaint free can be.
