Q4: – A question arose about the legality of helmet coverings and attachments. The interpretation at that time was that such protective accessories were not conforming equipment.
A4: The Committee, after reviewing materials and information from ProCap, Shockstrip and Guardian Cap, has determined that permissive use of those products is not a violation of NFHS Football Rules. View NFHS Statement.
It is important to note that the NFHS and the WIAA does not endorse football equipment. This ruling only means that the three products are not illegal under NFHS Football Rules. Before using, check with the manufacturer. The manufacturers may say that use of the products “may” or “could” void their warranties.
