SEE IT IN ACTION

HOW D3O® WORKS

The same molecular protection technology trusted by the military, NFL practice facilities, and first responders engineered into all GameBreaker headgear.

01 STARTS SOFT

Smart molecule technology keeps the headgear lightweight and comfortable at rest. No bulk. No compromise on feel.

02 REACTS ON IMPACT

The moment force hits, D3O® instantly hardens and disperses impact energy away from the skull. Reaction time: milliseconds.

03 RESETS INSTANTLY

After every hit, D3O® returns to its soft, flexible state ready to protect again on the very next play.

Got Questions
WE'VE GOT ANSWERS.

GameBreaker youth headgear is designed to help provide additional protection during play while maintaining comfort and mobility. Our soft shell helmets are trusted by youth leagues, coaches, and parents nationwide and feature independently tested designs, including 5-Star Virginia Tech-rated models.

GameBreaker soft shell headgear is designed specifically for non-contact and limited-contact sports like 7on7, flag football, and unpadded practices. They are not a substitute for hard shell helmets in full-contact football. What they do provide is Virginia Tech rated impact protection for situations where a hard shell isn't worn — which is exactly when athletes are most vulnerable.

GameBreaker headgear is designed to fit a wide range of youth athletes with adjustable sizing options that provide a secure and comfortable fit. Simply measure your athlete's head circumference and refer to our sizing guide to find the best fit for their age and size.

GameBreaker headgear offers three logo placement locations and are available in 11 colors. You can customize individual orders directly on the product page, or set up a Team Store for your program — which lets you lock in one design and have players order their own gear individually. Contact our team to get your Team Store set up in minutes.

All GameBreaker products are hand customized in the USA and ship within 7-10 business days. Non-customized headgear ships within 2-4 business days. Bulk team orders may vary — contact us before placing a large order and we'll confirm your exact turnaround time to make sure you're geared up before the season starts.

Yes. GameBreaker headgear is machine washable, making them easy to clean and maintain throughout the season. This is one of the most requested features from coaches and equipment managers — no more hand-scrubbing gear after every camp or tournament.

D3O is a patented impact protection material used in military gear, motorcycle helmets, and professional sports equipment. It stays soft and flexible at rest, but instantly hardens on impact to disperse force away from the skull — then returns to its flexible state. It's the same technology trusted by armed forces and pro athletes worldwide. GameBreaker is one of the only tackle football headgear brands to incorporate D3O protection.
