VICIS ZERO2 Football Helmet with Steel Facemask
Description
The VICIS ZERO2 is a top-ranked football helmet engineered to redefine what player protection looks like on the field. Named a top-rated helmet in NFL and NFLPA laboratory testing and awarded a 5-star Virginia Tech rating, the ZERO2 sets a new standard for safety and performance at every level of competition. Its revolutionary deformable outer shell absorbs impact forces at the point of contact - before they ever reach the athlete's head - much like a car bumper deforms to protect its passengers.
More than 15% lighter than its predecessor the ZERO1, the ZERO2 doesn't sacrifice an ounce of protection for that weight savings. The DLTA pod fit system delivers virtually unlimited customization right out of the box, while an enhanced field of view gives athletes an instant edge. Whether you're suiting up for varsity competition or outfitting a program, the ZERO2 is built to perform where it matters most.
Key Features
- NFL & NFLPA Top-Ranked: ZERO2 named a top-ranked helmet in NFL and NFLPA annual helmet laboratory testing, including two of the top five helmets in 2026.
- Virginia Tech 5-Star Rating: Earned a 5-star independent safety rating with a 0.73 score - compared to the Riddell SpeedFlex's 3-star rating.
- Deformable Outer Shell: Exclusive VICIS flexible shell technology deforms like a car bumper, absorbing impact forces at the point of contact before they reach the head.
- VICIS RFLX 2.0 Interior: Evolved buckling-column structure with interconnected flexible walls delivers greater impact absorption at a lower weight, tuned for key impact locations.
- 15%+ Lighter Than ZERO1: Significant weight reduction compared to the original ZERO1 without compromising on protection or performance.
- DLTA Pod Fit System: Interchangeable comfort pods snap in and out of 6 locations in 5 thicknesses - no air bladders required - for virtually unlimited fit customization out of the box.
- Enhanced Field of View: Extra-wide vertical and horizontal peripherals give athletes improved situational awareness over leading competitor helmets.
- Steel Facemask Included: Comes equipped with a steel facemask - no assembly required.
- Multiple Facemask Styles Available: Choose from SO-212E, SO-212, or SC-223 facemask styles to suit position and preference.
- Lifetime Shell Warranty: All VICIS ZERO2 shells carry a lifetime warranty based on the helmet's 10-year lifespan as mandated by NAERA.
Facemask Style Options & Which to Choose
- SO-212E: A skill-position open cage design offering maximum visibility and ventilation. Best for quarterbacks, wide receivers, defensive backs, and other skill players who prioritize sightlines and breathability.
- SO-212: A versatile open-bar cage style balancing protection and visibility. Ideal for linebackers, tight ends, and two-way players who need a solid all-around option.
- SC-223: A closed-style cage with added bar coverage for increased face protection. Well-suited for linemen and players in high-contact positions who want more facial shielding.

Manuals & Guides
FAQ
What sizes does the VICIS ZERO2 come in?
The ZERO2 is available in Medium, Large, and X-Large. VICIS provides a size guide video and size chart to help you find the right fit. If you're between sizes, we recommend referring to their official sizing resources or contacting us for guidance.
What is the difference between the SO-212E, SO-212, and SC-223 facemasks?
All three are steel facemasks built exclusively for the ZERO2. The SO-212E is an open-style cage ideal for skill players like quarterbacks and wide receivers who prioritize visibility. The SO-212 is a versatile open-bar style suited for linebackers and hybrid players. The SC-223 is a closed-style cage with more bar coverage, preferred by linemen and players in high-contact positions. All come pre-installed - no assembly required.
Is the VICIS ZERO2 certified for varsity high school and college play?
Yes. The ZERO2 is certified for competitive play and meets the standards required for high school and college football. It has also earned top rankings in NFL and NFLPA annual helmet safety testing and a 5-star rating from Virginia Tech's independent helmet rating system.
How does the DLTA pod fit system work?
The DLTA pod system replaces traditional air bladder fit systems with interchangeable foam pads that snap in and out of 6 locations inside the helmet. Each location offers 5 thickness options, giving athletes virtually unlimited customization to dial in comfort and secure fit without needing a pump or professional fitting.
Does the helmet come with a warranty?
Yes. All VICIS ZERO2 shells come with a lifetime warranty, based on the football helmet's current 10-year mandated lifespan as set by NAERA (National Athletic Equipment Reconditioners Association) and the helmet's Initial Season of Play.
Can I add a visor or other accessories to the ZERO2?
Yes. The ZERO2 is compatible with helmet accessories such as the Oakley Edge Visor, available separately. VICIS also offers DLTA replacement pods and other accessories to customize your helmet setup.
Is it safe to buy a used football helmet?
Generally, no. Football helmets are designed to absorb impact through internal structures that may not show visible damage after a hard hit. You have no way of knowing a used helmet's full history of impacts. Most manufacturers, including VICIS, recommend replacing helmets that have taken significant impacts. Buying new ensures the helmet's protective systems are fully intact and under warranty.
