Nov 6 (Reuters) - U.S. maker of football helmets and gear Riddell is exploring a sale, the company told Reuters, in a deal that could value it at around $800 million, people familiar with the matter said.

In both the Virginia Tech Helmet Study and the NFLPAÆs Helmet Laboratory Test, the Schutt F7 outperformed the Riddell SpeedFlex. The F7 was the second highest rated helmet in Virginia TechÆs study, scoring 2.54. Only three helmets (Vicis Zero 1, Xenith X2E+) broke 3 on the test.

The Schutt F7 UR1 is one of the most expensive helmets in the game. The F7 UR1 is listed at $1,499 on the Schutt site, but I can't find an option to actually purchase it. Since the custom fit process is so extensive, you likely need to call Schutt to plan a fitting session and to buy the helmet.

Both helmets score incredibly high in impact studies and offer top-quality protection. While both deliver similar results, the choice on which helmet is more comfortable and suits your style is up to you.

The Riddell SpeedFlex - worn by roughly 80% of LB's. The Schutt F7 - worn by roughly 15% of LB's. The Vicis 02 - worn by roughly 3% of LB's. Whichever helmet you choose, just remember, safety is the #1 priority!
