Riddell – The Official Helmet of the National Football League – has been a leading innovator in high performance athletic equipment for 80 years. Today, Riddell football helmets, shoulder pads, protective equipment & apparel can be seen on nearly every football field spanning all levels of play.
Introduced in 2002, the Riddell Revolution® was the first major football helmet innovation in 25 years. Since that time, more than half a million youth, high school, college and pro players have made the switch to the Riddell Revolution®.
Riddell continues to innovate year after year. In 2008 they launched the Revolution® IQ™ & Revolution® IQ™ with HITS™. The definition of SMART DESIGN, both helmets combine Riddell Revolution® Concussion Reduction Technology with the Ideal Fit Liner System and Quick Release™ Face Guard System. Ideal Fit cradles the player’s head within a cushion of air for the ultimate in fit, comfort and stability. Quick Release™ cuts cage removal time by 50 percent – a feature that certified athletic trainers are demanding. The Revolution® IQ™ with HITS™ is the first individual helmet system that monitors and records every significant incidence of head impact sustained during games and practices thanks to Riddell’s patented Head Impact Telemetry System (HITS™). On-board electronics record every impact, allowing players to upload and evaluate each occurrence on their home computers. HITS™ also provides the guidance necessary to understand and address a suspect impact if it is detected.
The Revolution Speed football helmet – a combination of protection, comfort, and style that is taking the football world by storm. The Revolution® Speed comes at you with an aggressive new shell design and a super comfortable anti-microbial Overliner. The Revolution® Speed also features a new face mask system designed from the ground up to optimize sightlines. Attaching the face mask is Riddell’s proprietary push-button Quick Release™ Face Guard System. Riddell’s proud history has been built on their passionate quest for the next improvement in athlete protection and their drive to advance the state-of-the-art in athletic equipment.
Most recently, Riddell launched its latest breakthrough innovation – the Riddell 360. Informed by over 1.4 million impacts collected through Riddell’s exclusive HITS™ Technology, the Riddell 360 Helmet is the next and most complete evolution of Riddell® CRT™ (Concussion Reduction Technology). The first helmet design using energy managing materials and a face mask attachment system that disperses energy of frontal impacts.
