will this headband prevent concussions?

The concussions section on www.yatahoy.com (Jack's Soccer Page) is a good, fairly quick read on the subject.

Nothting is for sure, but logically from my engineering background anything that slows the rate of deceleration (any type of cushioning will work) will result in less force to the head, whether that is enough to prevent a concussion is unknown to me and has not been proven as far as I know.

It definitely helps. I had a head to head collision with a teammate and it made a massive difference. I think my teammate would have suffered a cracked skull if I didn't have it on.

I would never guarantee 100% protection. It just helps cushion the impact. We just got them for our whole HS soccer team. The girls complained at first but got use to them fast. My kid has had multiple concussion in the past without product. Hasn't since using but is also more aware to make better choices when to use her head. It can be a reminder to not use head if you don't have to as well.

Nothing can totally prevent concussions. Football helmets, Safer barriers in auto racing, etc. But these things, including this headband, can reduce the change of a concussion. A high forehead to high forehead hit in soccer (not uncommon) will be much less dangerous with this one - and even more so if both players had one on. But at the end of the day it depends on the total energy and direction of hits and while padding will absorb some of the energy, it cannot take all of it. My daughter plays soccer and I got her this after a concussion (and after being cleared to play by doc and by our own observation). It makes me feel a little better and I think it gave her confidence to go out there and play Nothing can totally prevent concussions.

Yes it will, mine is on a half helmet. You lose some of the sound as the speakers are not directly next to your ears but it seems to filter out the voice from the air rushing past when using the cell phone. Mind you it's not ideal but it does work well for me.

Not sure. I purchased this 1 4 my son who played high school football last yr. It worked great w/ his helmet.

I haven't run with it, but it has a hat clip that looks as if it would secure firmly. I would guess that the headband would also accommodate as the unit is quite light.

Since the headband usually fits pretty tight on your hardhat you would need to position the hearing protectors behind your neck. Probably take some extra adjustment but they should work.

I haven't tried using a helmet with this support, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work though. The only obstacle that may be present would be with the padding around your little ones head with this support along with a helmet may restrict your little one being able to freely move his/her head around for "sight seeing"...??..

should work ok. head band has a tightening knob that is sturdy and well made!

Personal Safety Protection. This headset slightly pinches on the clip side. But, I've got a big head, so that may be a factor.

It should. It really just cradles the head so it doesn't have pressure in one spot. I used it until I got a StarBand helmet for my daughter who had classic brachycephaly (flat back of the head). If you child has this ask your pediatrician about a referral for a StarBand. It has worked wonders, her head is almost completely rounded out after 3 months!

My son was 14 when he broke his nose. He has a narrow face, but even though it fit his face, and I was hoping that the clear guard would help, he complained it was a little distracting. If there is anyway you can have her try one, it would be best. I have seen girls who had concussions use a head guard and that seemed to work well and it doesn

Haven't tried it, but it's not likely. It covers your whole forehead, and wraps around clear back to your ears. It would conflict with the helmet across the whole front half of your head.

Absolutely. I use these when I use weights and treadmils. They stay tight on your head. And not having a wire that gets caught in weights is a blessing,

No - the telescoping part of the headband is too thin- my first pair broke within three weeks, but was promptly replaced by the Amazon Reseller MobileCityOnline. However, the second pair broke in exactly the same place, after about two month. This time, MobileCityOnline has not been so helpful- has not even acknowledged my "refund or credit" email request sent 1-1/2 weeks ago.

yes absolutely use a helmet some children are more clumsier than others and you never want to risk hitting their head

It might. I just bought this for my 8 yr old for Christmas. He is still using his Disney Cars helmet, and that is getting small on his head.

I think it's a good helmet for MMA style grappling where a traditional wrestling ear guard is too bulky. For traditional wrestling, I would recommend something that just covers the ears and is a bit more protective around the ears themselves.

Not really, I wore mine many days when it was hot and it worked great to absorb sweat, keep my helmet dry and snug.
