I have seen a number of head injuries in the ten-plus years I have been a soccer mom, from a goalkeeper being kicked in the head to a recent collision that left one of my kids' teammates bleeding and concussed. In each case, a head guard such as the Storelli would have minimized or even prevented the injury. I don't know about the head guard's utility in preventing head injuries relating to heading the ball (good heading technique is probably more important), but it is definitely useful for cushioning the not-infrequent head-to-head or elbow-to-head collisions in soccer, and it is a must for a goalkeeper.
While it hasn't been difficult to get my GK daughter to wear the head guard, it is more difficult to convince field players like my other kids to wear one. However, out of all the head guards on the market, the Storelli has the most aesthetically pleasing design so that helps.
I was concerned that the school would not allow him to wear the helmet. I got it approved by the athletic director without any problems. The coach told me she wishes more kids would wear these!
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.
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.
