When to Replace Guardian Caps

Over time, Guardian Caps experience natural wear and tear from repeated impacts during practices and games. The longevity of your Cap depends on several factors, including:
- Frequency of Use – Caps worn in every practice and game will experience more wear than those used occasionally.
- Impact Levels – Higher-intensity collisions can cause faster degradation over time.
- Overall Age – Like any protective gear, Guardian Caps have a lifespan and should be replaced when signs of wear appear.

It’s important to look for visible signs of wear, such as material thinning, stretching, or loss of shape.
