Game used San Diego Chargers helmet from 1980. The helmet is a Riddell Micro-Fit helmet with the liquid filled padding. The Chargers used many of this model of helmet but very few remain today and none nicer than this one. The helmet is complete and all original has not been altered in any way. The helmet has the micro fit liquid filled padding cells, Pac style Riddell vinyl jawpads, and the original chinstrap. The helmet has a Schutt 80's style NOPO facemask - secured to the helmet using reproduction clips yet retains its original hardware. The helmet has an original manufacturing datecode of 1980 while the facemask does not have any datecode on it. The logos are original to the helmet and are adhered to the helmet well with no lifting. An original navy center stripe was applied to the helmet to protect the valves of the padding - as was the practice for these helmets - done in either clear vinyl or the color of the helmet. The helmet is all original and remains in excellent condition with only light wear to the exterior and interior. A bit of a rare model and certainly a very nice helmet for any Chargers fan or helmet collectors collection.
