| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| The F7 VTD is a great fit. Allows mobility and greater vision on the field. |
| I like the gold on it. Super comfortable, true to size, and fits nice and snug. I feel protected the whole time wearing it. |
| This has got to be the most comfortable helmet I’ve ever worn. Fits way better than the SpeedFlex. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| The only thing I would change is to put a cam lock on these things. |
| Needs a few more chinstrap choices but overall good helmet. |
| Can this ever go on sale? I'm trying to buy a helmet for my birthday but they are just too expensive. |
The F7 VTD has undeniably shaken up the football helmet market. It's clear that this helmet has stolen some of the spotlight from the previously dominant Riddell SpeedFlex, with many players making the switch. While it's a popular choice among skill position players, its versatility makes it suitable for any player. However, be prepared for a break-in period; comfort isn't its strong suit right out of the box.
