Our helmets are made by the New Derby Company of Australia. This helmet is fully compliant with APA requirements, and are accepted as meeting regulations for American Polocrosse Association games. NOTE: We are happy to clarify any confusion about helmet requirements for APA Games. At APA's request, we offer the text of their current helmet requirements here. All helmets offered via Xtreme Polocrosse meet current requirements. Beat back the rays -- Removable visor keeps sun out of your eyes so you can play till the sun goes down. Face guard keeps the ball out of your face -- and out of your teeth, eyes and nose. Take it off if you need a hug. **New ELITE model is a re-design with stronger materials and a lighter framework. ** Adjustable fit --padding and straps allow you to fit the helmet they way you like best.

Helmet sizing: 2 methods to measure for your size
Method #1) Use a string. Circle it around your head at the widest level, about 1-inch above the eybrows. Cut the string so that ends meet but do not overlap. Measure this length with a tape measure -- this is your helmet size.
Method #2: Use a narrow tape measure. Use a narrow metal or cloth tape measure. Wrap it around your head full circle, at a levelabout 1-inch above the eyebrows, to measure the widest distance around your head. You are aiming for the largest measurement.
For both methods: Take several measurements, to make sure you have the largest one.
