FAQs
How do I choose the correct size?
Measure the circumference of your head just above the eyebrows and compare it to the Rhino sizing chart to find the best fit.
Can this headguard be machine washed?
It is highly recommended to hand wash the headguard to preserve the integrity of the foam padding.
Does this headguard prevent concussions?
No, headguards are designed to reduce the risk of cuts and abrasions; they cannot fully prevent concussions.
How often should I replace my headguard?
You should inspect your headguard before every match. If the foam appears compressed, torn, or the straps lose elasticity, it is time for a replacement.
Is the headguard flexible?
Yes, the materials used are designed to be flexible, allowing for natural head movement without sacrificing coverage.
Troubleshooting
Headguard feels loose during play
Re-adjust the rear drawstring and ensure the chin strap is securely fastened.
Build-up of odor
Wash the headguard immediately after use with mild soap and ensure it is fully dried in a well-ventilated area.
Straps not holding properly
Check the touch-fastening surfaces for trapped debris like grass or lint and clear them off.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Breathable design prevents overheating

- Lightweight construction for improved player comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, place the headguard on your head and adjust the rear drawstring first to match your head circumference. Follow by fastening the elastic strap under the chin using the touch-fastening mechanism. Ensure the guard is snug but does not restrict blood flow or breathing. For care, hand wash the headguard in cool water with mild soap after each use and allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Avoid using industrial detergents or bleaching agents, as these can break down the integrity of the protective foam.
