Helmets? Every year. Period. Anything less you are open for a lawsuit.

You recondition all your helmets every year?

every helmet must be sent in every 2 years, regardless of how much use. they won't necessarily recondition them, but just re-certify for use. any helmet that is older than 10 years old has to be kicked regardless of condition. we have some that go back every year and others that just make the 2 year cycle. we rarely send in shoulder pads, unless they are cracked or something

Each state is different... I came from CA where EVERY helmet worn by a player has to be reconditioned... NO EXCEPTIONS.
To stay within the manufacturers warranty, I believe it is 2x every 5 years. We will hold onto the 8-10 helmets that were not worn or have no scuffs/scratches/etc... that we know was reconditioned the year before, but will always pull those aside and make sure those are the first ones given out the following year.

We send helmets and shoulder pads in every year. Ours are usually pretty beat up by the end of the season so not sure how comfortable I would be handing out an obviously used helmet the next year. We send the shoulder pads in to get cleaned and disinfected. They also fix anything that's wrong with them. In this day and age better safe than sorry about getting the eqpt. reconditioned.

As with most others, we send any helmet worn by a player off every year. Helmets that are not issued are sent every two years.

Yes, we send every helmet in the program off every year. SOme just get recertified (unused) and the others get the full work up.
We will not hand out a helmet with a scratch on it in the spring.

CA

The shoulder pads arent as strict... I just know they have to be sanitized to CYA for any sort of bacteria or general funkyness
We usually send them in every other year to be reconditioned and repaired and just sanitize/clean them ourselves the off year

We send all the worn stuff back every year. We break helmets too often to not have them checked out. Plus they are just nasty. Shoulder pads go in as well to be defunkified.
