FAQ

1) Q: What are SST’s head guards made of?

A: SST head guards are made of carbon fiber composites. Read more    about carbon fiber HERE.  Read more about SST’s technology HERE. 

2) Q: What coverage is provided by SST head guards?

A: SST’s head guards cover the most vulnerable part of the head protecting the parietal bone and middle meningeal artery.

3) Q: Should I choose single-sided or dual-sided coverage?

A: Single-sided coverage protects only the exposed side of a pitcher’s head based off his pitching mechanics. Dual-sided coverage is recommended for players in multiple positions. SST strongly recommends dual-sided protection for players under the age of 15.

4) Q: How do I know which size of the head guards to purchase?

A: SST provides a detailed sizing chart that can be found HERE. Recommendations are available for flex fit and straight fit hats. We recommend purchasing the smaller size if your hat size is in between two sizes because SST head guards are contoured to fit precisely in each hat size.

5) Q: How do I determine my hat size?

A: To determine an accurate hat size, measure around the crown of the head slightly above the ears.  Divide that number of inches by 3.14. This calculated number will give you the fitted hat size.

6) Q: How do I keep my SST head guards securely in the hat?

A: SST includes an iron-on velcro kit with all guards that will keep the guards secure inside that hat. If your team wears more than one hat style, extra kits can be purchased from within our store.

*SST is in the process of producing a better alternative to the provided adhesive strips. Check back on sstbaseball.com for details in the coming weeks.
