Schutt DNA Recruit Youth Football Helmet
Another dynamic helmet designed for the youth market, the DNA® Recruit from Schutt Sports is an affordable alternative for the youth through junior high football player. The DNA Recruit showcases the sleek, aerodynamic shell of the DNA, which the players love, but also features the advanced level of protection parents desire. That same spherical shape helps turn aside some of the biggest hits, changing helmet-to-helmet collisions into more glancing blows. The unique dart-shaped holes on the top of the DNA Recruit not only look cool, but are a functional ventilation system, circulating air to keep you cool. The Schutt DNA Recruit meets NOCSAE Standards.
Sizes: 2XS - XL.
Colors: Black, Royal Blue, Cardinal, Gold, Gray, Dark Green, Kelly Green, Maroon, Navy Blue, Burnt Orange, Purple, Scarlet, White, Columbia Blue, Dallas Blue, Kansas Blue, Metallic Light Gold, Metallic Old Gold, Sunflower Gold, Metallic Silver, South Bend Gold.
Facemask NOT included.
Youth DNA XL helmets require an XL DNA facemask.

Comments about Schutt DNA Recruit Youth Football Helmet:
This is my 5th DNA helmet i have bought for my sons. i bought the first one because the helmets my league provided were too heavy and my guys game is speed. I immediately found that the fit and protection is that much better that on contact it provides much better protection and my guys weren't getting their bell rung or that mini headache that players get on super hard contact with lesser helmets. It enabled my players to come into contact full force every play even against the toughest players on the team where inevitably there would be some helmet to helmet contact in drills. This translated into fine tuning their hitting for game day. A definite edge in the game. When they say below "would you recommend to a friend?" I have had several friends and fathers on my team see the results of this helmet and purchase the same helmet for their sons.

great youth helmet
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was prompt, only to see the helmet was made in oct08. and had them send me another one and nope this one had the same date on it as well. I would prefer the drop ship method over one that has sat in a warehouse for 2 years. I prefer our helmets to be made the month or year i order them, just for re-certification purposes. However FA did say they would re-certify for me at the end of football season.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Schutt DNA Recruit Youth Football Helmet:
I coach Jr High Football, and we have been replacing our old schutt air helmets with these. They are more comfortable, fit a wider variety of head shapes, and are better ventilated during the heat. They also don't have air bladders that need to be filled, adjusted often, change size with temp changes, and usually leak after a year of two of use. This has been a very nice upgrade for us, and I would highly recommend them to others.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I order the helmet and delivery was prompt. However, it was the wrong size. I contacted them and they were great. They overnighted the correct size so we could have it by xmas. They also emailed prepaid package slip for the other one. No questions asked. Great service!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
