Got a 6th grader...big, solid kid. He has a really square-shaped head (measures 23"). I have a Schutt Recruit Hybrid+ XL helmet that is supposed to be able to fit kids up to a 25" head. However, this helmet is too tight on him. Kid is not a typical youth football helmet complainer...he tried hard to suck it up but the helmet was really bothering him.
Any suggestions? Are there other helmets that fit a little looser for a kid with a really big, square-shaped head? I'm looking at a Riddell Edge Youth helmet. Anyone have success with kids not fitting into a Schutt but fitting into a Riddell?
Thanks.

Coach,
I just tried to fit a kid with a really big head. Had to call Riddell rep. He says the first generation Revoluton Shell will be big enough. Salesmans guarantee. I ordered one. It's not in yet, I'll let you know

You may be able to switch out the jaw pads and it will loosen it up considerably. |

Those block head types always seem to fit well in to a Riddle Recolution, the original.
