I check for these in this order:
  • NOCSAE stamp on helmet
  • No cracks in helmet (esp. near bill)
  • Pads sorta intact inside
  • No missing/loose screws on face mask
  • Facemask NOCSAE cert (sometimes printed up and under the top bar; tough to see under the brim of the hat)

I hate being the bats 'n' hats police as much as anyone, but if they say we gotta do it...then we got's to do it.
