RECON FOR SAFETY
Over the course of a football season, normal wear and tear can take a toll on helmets. The interior pads, airliners, and overall structure may sustain damage, potentially making the helmet unsafe to use
Football helmets can last up to 10 years, but regular reconditioning is essential to ensure they remain safe and dependable.
Our reconditioning process includes wash and sanitization, shell inspection, parts inspection, and NOCSAE certified drop testing before and after processing.
STAY COMPLIANT
As a member of the National Athletic Equipment Reconditioning Association (NAERA) and a licensed provider by the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE), we are committed to the highest safety and quality standards.
- REQUIREMENTS: Helmets must be reconditioned every two years to stay NOCSAE compliant and safe to play in. Some states even require reconditioning EVERY year.
- FACEMASKS: Masks need to have the coatings removed to inspect the integrity of the welds and structure of the cage.
- PAINT: Many models of helmets use different materials in their shells that can degrade and be compromised by the wrong type of paint. Each manufacturer requires specific paints and procedures for maintaining the integrity of the shell over time. Using the wrong paint will void the warranty and greatly increase the risk of injury.
