Today's pitchers throw harder, and shots off the bat are faster than ever. The Rawlings Mach EXT Batting Helmet is engineered to match the accelerated speed of the game. Its high-performance IMPAX padding absorbs and disperses force for the ultimate protection. The helmet features a sleek silhouette with a protective flap extension. The built-in extension flap protects the face and jawline of right- or left-handed batters and allows hitters to step confidently into the box in any situation.
