I bought size 3 and size 4 for my 8-year-old. His head circumference measures to be about 21 inches. Both sizes fit him but decided to keep size 4. I had him jump around to see if it would fall off and it seems to stay in place but we haven’t tested in soccer practice yet. I bought this to prevent goose eggs if he runs into another player going for the same ball. I was worried he would reject this so I was relieved when he smiled with approval after he looked in the mirror. Glad there’s a company that makes this. Something is better than nothing!Suggestions for improvement: better packaging so item doesn’t come folded with two creases in the foam. I think the size 4 may have been a return because it came in a bag whereas the size 3 came in a nice box with better packaging.Update: size 4 stretched out. We are saving it for when he’s older but I went and ordered size 3 for this year.

Purchased to use for figure skating. Haven't had to test it out yet fortunately, but seems like it will do the trick and much less bulky than a helmet. Lightweight and comfortable to wear. Definitely recommend going with a tighter fit as it stretches out to fit your head after first 1-2 uses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Looks cool and hopefully protects my kids
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2018

Looks cool and hopefully protects my kids. Told the coaches if they wanted my kid to play he had to wear it. Had issues with a few coaches making fun of the headband saying it would affect heading, didn't really work, etc....one of the coaches boasted that in his 40 years playing he only cracked his skull once...that is once too many for me. Looked into protective head gear when we played a team that made it mandatory for all players. Storelli does a great job at having a stylish piece that is protective. Others look like something a wrestler would use (orthodontic head gear-esque) and others look too small to be an effective deterrent.
Aside from protection it is practical. I love that I can throw it into the washer and dryer, it comes out smelling clean and like new. I have three boys ages 13-16, they have been wearing the Storelli ExoShield for the last 3 years. No problems heading, etc. Biggest problem has been dealing with coaches and the stigma from that...boys want to impress the coaches, as teens they don't care so much about the parents, so? I reminded the coaches that this item may protect my child, if he isn't wearing it because of a coach's comment and gets injured I will be coming after said coach...Yes, it is that bad. Meanwhile: Other parents always ask me where to buy, etc. Be the trend setter. In my opinion, they look cool and intimidating, all while protecting you. Would be nice for the coaches to get on board and maybe even have a player endorsement or two. I think that it will be as synonymous with soccer as shin guards and cleats...it should be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Storelli Sports Headguard
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2014
Size: 3Style: OrignalVerified Purchase
My duaghter is 12. Competitive travel soccer player. Recently diagnosed with a concussion. Not from playing soccer but from tripping over a dog toy in the house and doing a face plant. Go figure? I always told her once she got concussed she would be wearing a head guard for the added protection. I understand that these guards do not prevent concussions but I am a firm believer that a little protection is better than nothing. If I were to purposely bang my head on a wall and I had the option of wearing this or not wearing it, I would be a fool not to wear it. If it stops her from getting cut from hitting another players head than it was worth the small investment.

I have purchased the full 90 and the padded headband. They all are not what my daughter considers a fashion statement. I purchased the Storelli because it didnt look too cumbersome. She likes to wear her hair up in a ponytail and this headguard seemed to accommodate it the best with the best protection.

The first couple days she complained a little as she was trying to figure out how to put it on without messing up her headband and her hair. She now likes to slip it on first around her neck, put up her hair and then slide the guard upward. That seems to be the best technique for her. She actually commented that she thinks it doesn't look to bad, kind of like wewring her ear muffs on the cold days.

We ordered her a size 3 according to the website (21.5 circumference- typical 97lb girl) but it may be a little too small? I may have to order her a size 4 which I am not too happy about and having to fork out more money as she already used it Also not knowing if the size 4 will be too big on her.

So overall she/I am happy with the product thus far. Thanks Storelli. I would suggest different colors per my daughters request. Make it more of a fashion statement.

Why this thing is $60 is beyond me! The price point is about 30-40 dollars too high. It should be about 20-30 at most. Non-adjustable and bad color since black absorbs heat.

This is definitely a false sense of security. This thing would not prevent or reduce the likelihood of a concussion. It even has their disclaimer stating so in the package and head band itself.

Concussions occur by the brain hitting the interior of the skull, thus causing bleeding and swelling. This thin cushion on this headband will do virtually nothing to protect. Hence, their disclaimer.

This is equivalent to putting a towel on your front bumper and going 20 miles an hour into a wall and expecting it to not have any damage after impact.

Ever seen or had a real football helmet in your hands? It has a hard shell plus about 2 inches of dense foam material lining it. Concussions happen all the time in football even with these on. Why? Because the brain inside the skull still is moving on a sudden stop impact, this striking the skull causing the damage. Protecting the outside with less than an inch of foam does realistically nothing for the brain to be protected. If you buy this expensive product, you are pretty much buying false hopes and security. Snake oil!

I bought it for skiing because I don't like wearing a helmet. I find that helmets isolate you from the noise around you and you can't hear what's going on. Also, it's too heavy for my neck, I can't stand it. So the headband is perfect for me. Lightweight, I wear it over a merino hat and it holds very well. It doesn't protect the top of the head, but all the way around in case of a fall or if my head hits the ice. I'm very satisfied.
