Fitting hat sizes 6 1\/2 to 7, the HXFPU delivers the Champro exclusive shell design for maximum airflow and visibility, weight-optimized construction with impact foam, and BioFresh\/DRI-GEAR liner in a solid-color uncoated finish. Compatible only with HX accessories (HXG, HX2G, HXMS, HXFM). Available at SPC Sports in black and optic pink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe included HXMS facemask provides the jaw and lower face coverage that fastpitch rules require for competitive play, giving junior players a complete, NOCSAE-compliant head and face protection setup from the very first at-bat without needing to source a compatible facemask separately -- and the included HXCS chin strap completes the system for a fully secured, stable fit from the first pitch to the final out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Champro exclusive shell design is engineered to maximize airflow and peripheral visibility simultaneously -- fastpitch demands awareness from every angle, and the shell geometry keeps the young player's field of vision as open as possible so junior batters can track pitches from release to contact while remaining aware of plays developing around the diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe weight-optimized shell with impact foam is engineered to deliver the protective performance the NOCSAE standard requires at the lightest practical weight for the junior size, so the complete helmet and mask system at 2.11 lbs never feels heavy or top-heavy on younger players' heads -- letting them focus entirely on their mechanics and approach at the plate rather than the feel of their equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003ePads wrapped with soft-touch, moisture-wicking fabric draw sweat away from the player's jaw and cheek through every inning, keeping the contact points dry and comfortable through extended play without the damp, sticky feel that standard foam pads develop after a few innings of warm weather activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe BioFresh\/DRI-GEAR moisture-wicking pad liner actively moves sweat away from the player's head and forehead during play, keeping the interior of the helmet drier, fresher, and more odor-free through repeated use over a full fastpitch season -- a practical comfort feature for junior players who wear helmets through long tournament days and back-to-back game schedules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe solid-color uncoated finish reduces glare and keeps weight to a minimum at the entry-level price point, giving recreational leagues, team bulk purchases, and programs that need to equip junior players with properly fitting, NOCSAE-certified helmet and mask systems a practical, cost-efficient option without sacrificing the core HX Rise platform performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNOCSAE certification confirms that the HXFPU meets the applicable safety standard for softball batting helmets at the youth and junior competitive fastpitch levels, giving coaches, parents, and players the assurance that this helmet and mask system has been tested and verified to meet the protection requirements of the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCompatible only with HX accessories -- HXG face guard, HX2G two-tone face guard, HXMS softball mask, and HXFM facemask -- so any additional protective accessories added to this helmet must be from the HX accessory line to ensure proper fit, function, and NOCSAE compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis product comes with a 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFor more fastpitch batting helmets and equipment, browse the full \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/spcsports.com\/collections\/spc-sports-fastpitch\"\u003efastpitch collection at SPC Sports\u003c\/a\u003e.

Both helmets share the same HX Fastpitch platform -- Champro exclusive shell design, weight-optimized impact foam, moisture-wicking pads, BioFresh\/DRI-GEAR liner, HXMS facemask, HXCS chin strap, and NOCSAE certification. The HXFPM adds soft-touch jaw pads and a solid-color matte finish in more colorways, while the HXFPU uses an uncoated finish at an accessible entry-level price point. Choose the HXFPU for recreational and budget-conscious programs and the HXFPM for players who want upgraded jaw pad comfort and a modern matte appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDoes the HXFPU Junior include a facemask and chin strap? Yes. Every HXFPU comes with both the HXMS softball facemask and the HXCS chin strap already included, so the helmet arrives as a complete, NOCSAE-compliant head and face protection system ready to use straight out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhat hat size does the HXFPU Junior fit? The HXFPU Junior fits hat sizes 6 1\/2 to 7 in the medium\/junior size -- the right choice for youth and junior fastpitch players whose head size falls within this range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champro","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":44347207090218,"sku":"HXFPUBJ","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink","offer_id":44347207155754,"sku":"HXFPUOPJ","price":50.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/4000\/6186\/files\/HXFPU_1_black.jpg?v=1778466629","url":"https:\/\/spcsports.com\/es\/products\/champro-hx-rookie-fastpitch-batting-helmet-hxfpu","provider":"SPC Sports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
