Football Protective Gear & Accessory FAQs
Who can save on select football accessories?
**Alpha and Alpha Ultra members**. Join from this page to unlock savings up to 30% on select football accessories, including certain **Back Plates** and **Compression Sleeves**, plus year-round savings.
What is the most important piece of **Football Protective Gear**?
A **Mouthguard** is non-negotiable for safety. After that, a quality **Back Plate** is critical for players taking hits, especially linemen and linebackers, protecting the spine and ribs.
Do I need a **Football Girdle** if my pants have pads?
Most modern pants require a **Football Girdle** because they only provide hip pockets for the pads. A girdle keeps the thigh, hip, and tailbone pads securely in place and offers essential compression.
Can I buy the accessory after the trial?
Yes—keep what you love. Your **Alpha Ultra** membership gives **Members Save Big Everyday** pricing and **Access to Alpha Ultra Member Exclusive Deals** at checkout.
Are helmet visors legal for high school football?
Most leagues require a **clear helmet shield** (visor) for practice and games. Tinted visors are generally restricted to players with a specific doctor's note, so check your league's rules before buying a colored visor.
