How much is a Riddell SpeedFlex (Speed Flex)?
Used SpeedFlex helmets are the most common helmets we sell. Price depends mostly on condition, size and extras: a helmet with an Oakley visor, a full-face cage or hang tags still attached costs more than a well-used helmet with normal scuffs. See every Riddell SpeedFlex helmet.
How much is a Schutt F7?
The new 2026 Schutt F7 AiR is sold with or without a black EGOP-III facemask, and the facemask option changes the price. Used F7 VTD and F7 Collegiate helmets cost less. See all Schutt F7 helmets.
