Wilson A5510 Pro Shock FX helmet

[Kevin Finnerty]

I tried one out and had a pitcher throw a straight shot, high-80s, and it took it as well as any mask or bucket I ever tried. The shock absorbers definitely work. It also has a better view than any bucket when it is worn properly. For the few times I get drilled straight between the eyes, it's probably overkill, but if I ever got a concussion, I would turn straight to the Wilson for added protection. It's lighter than the others as well.

And this site is a good place to find it and $199 is about the best price you'll find.
