Buying used gear is a sustainable way to score high-quality items at a fraction of the cost. Not only can you find great deals, but you might also stumble upon rare or discontinued gear that’s no longer available in stores. When buying a used batting helmet, here's what to look for:
✔️ Look for any visible cracks, dents, or deep scratches.
✔️ Interior padding should be intact, not worn down or compressed.
✔️ Ensure the chin strap is intact, functional, and not frayed.
✔️ Inspect the outer shell for signs of wear, such as fading, scuffs, or peeling paint.
✔️ If the helmet includes a face guard or cage, check for bends, cracks, or misalignments.
✔️ Certification sticker (like NOCSAE) that guarantees safety standards, even if used.
✔️ Check for any signs of mold, mildew, or heavy dirt that might indicate neglect.
