No helmet can prevent head, brain, or neck injuries, including paralysis or death, a player might receive while participating in football. Keep your head up. Do not use this helmet to butt, ram, or spear an opposing player. This is in violation of football rules and such use can result in severe head or neck injuries, paralysis, or death to you and possible injury to your opponent. Contact in football may result in CONCUSSION AND OTHER SERIOUS BRAIN INJURIES, which no helmet can prevent. Symptoms include: loss of consciousness (even briefly), inability to recall events prior to or after contact, dizziness, headache, nausea, and/or confusion. If you have any symptoms, immediately stop playing and report them to your coach, trainer, and parents. Do not return to play until all symptoms are gone and you have received medical clearance from a doctor. ENGAGING IN ANY FURTHER CONTACT PRIOR TO THE RESOLUTION OF ALL SUCH SYMPTOMS AND THE RECEIPT OF MEDICAL CLEARANCE MAY LEAD TO ANOTHER CONCUSSION AND OTHER SERIOUS BRAIN INJURIES.
This helmet must be properly fitted to the wearer’s head in accordance with the manufacturer’s fitting instructions. The fit of the helmet and the presence of all pads (jaw pads, front pad, and full liner set) should be checked each time before play. Never wear a helmet that does not fit according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not alter the exterior or interior materials of the ZERO2 helmet to install a communication device. This will damage the structural integrity of the helmet and compromise player safety.
This helmet can be damaged by contact with common substances (i.e., certain solvents, cleaners, and hair treatments). This damage may or may not be visible to the user, and may alter helmet performance. Contact VICIS Customer Support for a list of approved cleaning agents.
DO NOT PAINT OR REPAINT THE VICIS ZERO2
The ZERO2 has a unique outer shell which requires a specific, VICIS approved paint system. Use of non-VICIS approved paint systems may affect helmet safety and performance. Do NOT use a helmet that has been modified, altered, or painted with a non-VICIS approved paint system. Please contact VICIS Customer Support if you have questions or need to arrange for repainting or paint repair.
FAQS
Can I use a third-party add-on with the ZERO2?
VICIS and Certor Sports recommend against the use of any non-approved third party, aftermarket product or accessory that alters the fit, form or function of the helmet or faceguard. Third party, aftermarket products that are used on a Schutt helmet and do not follow manufacturer’s guidelines will void the NOCSAE certification and make the helmet or face mask illegal to use in most organized football leagues, games, or other activities.
Guardian Cap Approved: All VICIS helmets worn in practice or games with a properly installed Guardian Cap remain fully certified and warrantied should the player, parent, or coach choose to do so and if allowable by applicable league regulations.
Will VICIS void my warranty for using an add-on?
VICIS will void the ZERO2 helmet warranty if attachment of a non-approved third-party add-on product requires modification of our helmet (e.g., drilling holes), chemical affixation (e.g., using adhesive to attach the product to our helmet shell), or when the attachment method negatively affects the proper function of the helmet (e.g., attachment of the accessory hinders or restricts movement of the LODE Shell, RFLX Layer, or Facemask).
