Best Overall Cleats

The best overall cleats from me is Nike and I have no doubt in my mind. As I have said in previous blogs Nike cleats perform in all categories from speed, quickness, fit, comfortableness and design. From my experience with cleats there is no cleat that can compete with the Nike Vapor Carbon Elites TD’s. I have talked about how much I love these cleats because they check off all of the boxes of what a good cleat is. They were designed to lower players 40 yard dash time and increase their speed. The cleat has studs in the front of the cleat that allow have a quick first step so that you can reach your maximum speed as fast as possible. On the sides of the cleat there are studs that are specifically designed to give you quicker lateral speed and explosion off of every cut. This cleat will let you run at full speed as well as that break away speed. One of the reasons you can run at such fast speeds in these cleats is also the fit it has on your foot and how comfortable it is. While wearing these cleats I don’t think I ever felt uncomfortable of that they were to restricting or loose on my foot Another aspect that I feel sets it apart from the other cleats is its design. While other shoes are to fancy or bland as can be these cleats have a simple design but still captures the eye. If cleats can catch your eye and they aren’t flashy then you know they have a great design just like these cleats do. The Nike Vapor Carbon Elite TD’s are the most popular cleats among the skill players on my team. Nike also makes outstanding Nike Lineman cleats that have great ankle support. Being a lineman you need great ankle support because of all the pressure you put on them when pushing against the opponent and it can give you a leg up. The ankle support also protects you from getting injured. The sturdiness and how it allows for you to stay stable when engaged in a block so you don’t lose your balance or not grip the turf. Lineman on my team have told me that Nike cleats are great and that many of them have it because it allows them to stay just as light on their feet then any other cleat but it provides more support to their ankles and feet. I would highly recommend that you buy Nike cleats because I have worn them and they have never let me down. If you want to be faster than anyone on the field while still having the best cleat design then pick Nike cleats. Nike Football Cleat

Best Overall Gloves

The best overall gloves to me are the Under Armour gloves. I have played football for many years and have worn many different types of gloves and there is no gloves better than these. There are so many different variations of Under Armour gloves that you will be sure to find the right ones. While there are many different variations, such as gloves that let your wrist breath, gloves that cover your wrist and give you great wrist support and gloves for lineman, they all function to give you peak performance. The gloves for receivers all use their patented GrabTack technology that gives you super sticky grip and you can be sure to catch anything that hits your hands. If you want the Under Armour gloves where the grip covers your whole hand and down to your wrist then get the Under Armour UA 4’s because this gloves literally covers your whole hand and will even come down to your wrist which will also give you great support when making tough catches. If you want to have maximum support for your wrists then these gloves are perfect. Under Armour gloves are also extremely light which gives your hands much more freedom to move and allows for them to open and close so that you will be able to shoot your hands into the defender when blocking or trying to shed a block. Although these gloves will not keep your hands warm, you can always put hand warmers in your gloves, I prefer them over gloves that are heavier because this gives me the best chance at make plays on the field. For the Under Armour lineman gloves they provide a tremendous amount of padding that is perfect because if you are a lineman your hands will be getting hit a lot. The gloves also have breathable holes which if your are a lineman you know your hands can get hot and sweaty especially in an intense game. No other company can compete with Under Armour when you look at the variety they have and the patented grip they use. Under Armour Gloves

 

Best Helmet Overall

The best overall helmet in the market today is the Riddell Speed flex and is now one of the most popular helmets. The Speed flex is the best helmet for many reasons. The first reason is because of how comfortable it is. It has cushioning inside of the helmet and you can easily take air in or out to get a great fit. The Speed flex also has a chinstrap that acts as a ratchet which makes sure that your helmet is secure every play unlike most helps where you have to find the perfect fit which is almost impossible and loosens after almost every hit. The speed flex chinstrap sets it apart from all other helmets and I guarantee you will like how it feels. I love the look of the speed flex especially from the side and how the back looks sleek and is perfectly shaped to the your head. The design is why the Speed flex is one of the more popular helmets and why you will see so many high school and college players wearing these helmets. This helmet is also extremely protective and will keep you safe from some of the most dangerous hits. The Speed flex is a newer helmet so there has been more research put into this helmet to increase player safety. The Speed flex actually reduces head acceleration more than any other helmet. The Speed flex was rated a 5 star by The Virginia Tech Helmet Rating, which makes it one of the top helmets out there today. I strongly suggest that you buy this helmet because this helmet is the future of football and you will not be disappointed. Riddell Speed Flex Helmet
