- Titanium Facemask: Included Ti Guard is 60% lighter than carbon steel, available in multiple styles (F7X EGOP III, F7X ROPO SW II, F7X ROPO DW).
- Quarter-Turn (QT) Facemask Screws: ANKR Locks with QT screws allow rapid facemask attachment or removal with just two turns and a twist of a screwdriver.

Facemask Style Options & Which to Choose

- F7X ROPO SW II: A round-open, single-bar style that balances protection with visibility. Well-suited for linebackers, tight ends, and athletes who want a classic look with modern performance engineering.
- F7X ROPO DW: A round-open, double-bar style offering enhanced face protection for skill players and linemen who want a bit more coverage without sacrificing the open feel of the ROPO design. A great all-position choice.

FAQ
How does the onboard AiR-Lock System work?
The F7 AiR Elite features an integrated inflatable air liner that wraps the back and sides of the head. To inflate, press the black "AiR" button on the back of the helmet - no handheld pump is needed. To deflate and loosen the fit, press the "AiR" button next to the Schutt logo on the back of the helmet. Athletes can adjust their fit on the fly, even between plays, for a secure and personalized feel throughout the game.
What does the Virginia Tech 5-Star rating mean?
The Virginia Tech helmet ratings are one of the most respected independent safety evaluations in football. Helmets are tested across a range of impacts that simulate real game scenarios, and only helmets that perform at the highest level of impact energy reduction earn a 5-Star rating. The F7 AiR Elite is a 5-Star helmet, while competing helmets like the Riddell SpeedFlex have earned only a 3-Star rating in the same testing.
How do I choose the right facemask style?
The F7X EGOP III is an open-vision, high-bar style best suited for skill positions like wide receiver, quarterback, and defensive back. The F7X ROPO SW II is a single-bar round-open style great for linebackers and tight ends wanting a balance of visibility and protection. The F7X ROPO DW is a double-bar round-open style offering slightly more face coverage, ideal for all-position use or players who want extra protection. All three are titanium and attach with quarter-turn screws for easy swapping.
How do I find the right helmet size?
Measure the player's head approximately 1 inch above the brow line, around the widest part of the head. Use that measurement to select: Small (18.5-20"), Medium (20-21.5"), Large (21.5-23"), X-Large (23-24.5"), or 2X-Large (24.5-26"). The onboard AiR-Lock system allows for fine-tuning the fit once the right shell size is selected, but starting with the correct shell size is important for proper protection.
Can I swap the visor for a tinted or specialty Oakley lens?
Yes. The helmet comes pre-installed with an Oakley Clear Switch Shield visor, and Schutt offers additional custom Oakley visor options designed specifically for the F7 AiR platform. Available options include PRIZM 24K, PRIZM Sapphire, Gray, and Clear. Tinted visors may require league approval for game use, so be sure to check with your program or league before swapping to a tinted lens.
Is the F7 AiR Elite backward compatible with older F7 facemasks?
Yes. The F7 AiR Elite shell is backward compatible with legacy F7 style facemasks in addition to the new F7X styles. The new F7X facemasks feature streamlined performance designs and new low-profile quarter-turn clips, but athletes can also use facemasks from previous F7 generations if needed.
