Easton ALPHA Fastpitch Batting Helmet Large/X-Large Black — NOCSAE Protection, Pre-Attached Facemask

The Easton ALPHA Fastpitch Batting Helmet with Facemask is a NOCSAE-compliant, large/x-large protective softball helmet built with an ABS shell, dual-density foam, and an attached facemask for ready-to-play safety.

Built for fastpitch hitters who want a balance of impact protection, comfort, and moisture control, the ALPHA helmet brings features typically found on higher-end models into a game-ready package. Its ABS thermoplastic shell and dual-density foam liner are engineered to reduce and manage impact energy, while the BioDri liner helps wick sweat for longer practice sessions and games. The included facemask arrives attached so players can step into the batter’s box without extra assembly.

How does the ALPHA helmet protect against impacts?

The ALPHA uses a rigid ABS thermoplastic shell paired with a dual-density foam liner to disperse and absorb impact forces. This combination offers a structured outer barrier and energy-managing interior layers to help reduce transmitted force during contact events.

• ABS shell engineered for toughness and consistent deformation characteristics
• Dual-density foam absorbs shocks and cushions the head
• Facemask integrated to protect the face on fastpitch trajectories
• Meets NOCSAE standards for certified protective performance

What comfort features keep players focused at the plate?

Comfort is addressed through the helmet’s internal materials and fit range. The dual-density liner offers a snug, supportive feel without excessive bulk, and the BioDri liner pulls moisture away from skin to minimize slipping and discomfort during play.

• BioDri liner wicks sweat to help maintain a dry interior
• Dual-density foam provides cushioned contact points and secure fit
• Large/X-Large sizing covers 7 1/8"–7 3/4" hat sizes for a broad range of heads
• Facemask attached for immediate use, saving setup time

Is the facemask suitable for fastpitch softball?

The facemask is specifically designed and supplied with the ALPHA helmet to meet the needs of fastpitch hitters. It mounts to the helmet and aligns to the shell geometry so it doesn’t interfere with vision while still adding frontal protection for balls and contact hazards.

• Facemask included and pre-attached for quick on-field readiness
• Engineered to maintain clear sightlines for hitters
• Structured to work with the helmet’s impact-management system
• Durable construction suited to fastpitch play patterns

How do I choose the right size and maintain this helmet?

Choose the ALPHA in Large/X-Large if your measured hat size is between 7 1/8" and 7 3/4". Regularly inspect the shell and facemask for cracks or bent components, and replace padding if it becomes compressed or damaged to preserve protective performance.

• Size range: Large/X-Large fits 7 1/8"–7 3/4" hat sizes
• Clean liner with mild soap and water; air dry away from heat
• Check facemask fasteners and shell integrity before each season
• Replace helmet after significant impacts or visible damage

Who is this for: The Easton ALPHA Fastpitch Batting Helmet is aimed at competitive and recreational fastpitch players who need certified protection with comfortable fit and moisture control. It’s a strong choice for hitters seeking an out-of-the-box solution with a pre-attached facemask, suitable for coaches outfitting teams, individual players upgrading to a NOCSAE-certified shell, and anyone who wants dependable protection without complex adjustments.
