Why 2nd Skull is great for soccer players
Our new product, 2nd Skull, offers superior protection for all players in all sports…including soccer!
Soccer is a high-impact sport.
Soccer is a contact sport, and there is no doubt about it. Whether you are fearlessly attempting a header off a corner or tackling a charging opponent, collisions and high impacts are inevitable in the beautiful game.
