Guardian LOOP (Next Gen) - Soft-Shell Headgear for Flag Football & More
Looking for added head protection in Flag Football, 7v7, or other no-helmet sports—without the bulk of a helmet? The Guardian LOOP (Next Gen) is a lightweight soft-shell headgear designed to help manage incidental contact while staying comfortable, breathable, and easy to wear.
Next Gen update: improved fit at the back of the head

Great for
The Guardian LOOP is widely used in Flag Football and 7v7, and is also a smart option for other limited-contact sports where a helmet is not worn but extra head protection is desired.
Sizes & fit
Available in S / M / L. For the best fit, choose the size that matches your head circumference. If you’re between sizes, many athletes prefer sizing up for comfort and stable coverage—especially if you wear longer hair tied back.
Colors
Available in multiple color options (e.g. Yellow, Pink, White, Black), depending on stock.
Care instructions
Wash cold (or hand wash cold) and air dry. Avoid tumble drying to help protect the materials and padding.
Note: No headgear can eliminate the risk of concussion. The Guardian LOOP is designed to help reduce the impact of incidental contact—proper technique, safe play, and rule enforcement still matter.
