Gilbert Octane Junior Headguard Royal Blue/Red/White The Octane Junior is the natural starting point for younger players wearing a headguard for the first time. It carries the same design principles as the adult version, including the larger panel layout for broad coverage and the padded chinstrap, but sized and proportioned for junior heads. The adjustable lace closure and elasticated chinstrap mean it can be fitted properly regardless of head shape, which matters for kids whose heads don't always conform to standard sizing. A well-fitted headguard stays in place during play; one that shifts around is a distraction and offers less protection in practice than it does on paper. Key features: Junior-specific sizing and proportions for a proper fit Larger panel design for maximum coverage in high-impact zones Padded and elasticated chinstrap for a secure, comfortable fit Expandable lace closure system to suit different head shapes and sizes Performance polyester lining for comfort during play Classic Gilbert styling with rear colour block and forehead panel detailing
