Fitting hat sizes 6 7\/8 to 7 1\/2, the HXEFPS gives programs that prefer a classic gloss look the same HXE Starter construction quality with the convenience of an included facemask in five team-ready colorways. Compatible only with HXE accessories (HXEG, HXEG2, HXEMS, HXEFM). Available at SPC Sports in black, navy, royal, scarlet, and white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe attached softball facemask provides the jaw and lower face coverage that fastpitch rules require for competitive play, giving players a complete, NOCSAE-compliant head and face protection setup from the very first at-bat without needing to purchase or install a separate facemask -- and the HXE attachment system keeps the mask securely mounted through every swing, base running movement, and slide without shifting or requiring mid-game adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe lightweight ABS shell is engineered to balance structural protection strength with the lightest possible weight for the large size, so the helmet and attached facemask combination never feels heavy or top-heavy even through long multi-game tournament days -- letting players focus entirely on their mechanics and approach at the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe dual-layered impact and comfort foam system uses two distinct foam layers -- an outer impact layer that absorbs and distributes ball contact forces and an inner comfort layer that cushions the head for all-day wearability -- so the helmet delivers both the protection coaches and players require and the locked-in comfort feel that keeps fastpitch players focused at the plate through a full game or tournament schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003ePads fully wrapped with moisture-wicking fabric draw sweat away from the player's jaw and cheek through every inning, keeping the pad 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 in competitive fastpitch environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe padding is specifically designed to accommodate sunglasses, so players who wear corrective or tinted lenses can put their glasses on and take them off without fighting the helmet padding or dealing with lens displacement during play -- keeping vision sharp at the plate throughout the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe solid-color glossy finish gives the HXEFPS a clean, traditional appearance at an accessible price point, with five classic team colorways that cover the most commonly requested color palettes for high school, college, and adult fastpitch programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNOCSAE certification confirms that the HXEFPS meets the applicable safety standard for softball batting helmets at the high school, college, and adult competitive fastpitch levels, giving coaches, players, and officials 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 HXE accessories -- HXEG face guard, HXEG2 two-tone face guard, HXEMS softball mask, and HXEFM facemask -- so any additional protective accessories added to this helmet must be from the HXE 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 HXE platform -- lightweight ABS shell, dual-layered foam, moisture-wicking wrapped pads, sunglasses-accommodating padding, attached softball facemask, and NOCSAE certification. The key difference is the finish -- the HXEFPS features a solid-color glossy finish in five colorways, while the HXEFPM features a solid-color matte finish in eight colorways. Choose the HXEFPS for a classic glossy look and the HXEFPM for a modern matte glare-reducing finish with a wider color selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDoes the HXEFPS come with a facemask attached? Yes. The HXEFPS comes with a softball-specific facemask already attached to the helmet, so the complete head and face protection system is ready to use straight out of the box without any additional facemask purchases or installation required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhat HXE accessories are compatible with the HXEFPS Large? The HXEFPS is only compatible with Champro HXE accessories -- specifically the HXEG face guard, HXEG2 two-tone face guard, HXEMS softball mask, and HXEFM facemask. Note that HXE accessories are a separate line from HX accessories and the two lines are not cross-compatible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champro","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":44313965068330,"sku":"HXEFPSBL","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy","offer_id":44313965199402,"sku":"HXEFPSNYL","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Royal","offer_id":44313965232170,"sku":"HXEFPSRYL","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":44313965264938,"sku":"HXEFPSSCL","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":44313965297706,"sku":"HXEFPSWL","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/4000\/6186\/files\/HXEFPS_1_scarlet.jpg?v=1777934768","url":"https:\/\/spcsports.com\/es\/products\/champro-hxe-starter-large-softball-helmet-with-facemask-hxefps","provider":"SPC Sports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
