Key Features for a Secure Fit

The Gilbert XP 250 headguard is designed with features to ensure a flexible and secure fit for various head shapes:

• Expandable Lace Closure System: The lace-up system at the back of the headguard allows for significant adjustability. When trying on the headguard, you should be able to tighten the laces to achieve a firm but comfortable fit.
• Moulded Foam Configuration: The design incorporates a flexible 3D foam pattern that adapts to the contours of your head, enhancing both comfort and stability.
• Adjustable Chin Strap: The chin strap is crucial for keeping the headguard in place. It should be fastened so that it is secure, but you can still comfortably speak and breathe. A good rule of thumb is to leave enough space for one to two fingers to fit between the strap and your chin.

Checking for the Correct Fit

Once you have your headguard, put it on and adjust the laces and chin strap. To ensure it's the right size:

• No Gaps: The headguard should sit comfortably against your head with no significant gaps between the padding and your skull.
• Stays in Place: Gently try to move the headguard from side to side and front to back. There should be minimal movement. If it shifts easily, it may be too large.
• Comfort is Key: The headguard should feel snug and secure, but not so tight that it causes pressure points or discomfort.

By following these guidelines, you can confidently select a Gilbert XP 250 headguard that offers the best in protection, allowing you to focus on your game.
