A complete beginner goalie set is the most cost-effective way for a new keeper to start. Experienced keepers usually buy each piece separately.
Only goalkeepers wear helmets. A field hockey goalie helmet has a fixed face cage and should be worn with a throat guard. Field players wear goggles (and corner masks when defending penalty corners) instead.
The helmet should sit snugly without moving when you shake your head, with the cage clear of your nose and chin. Replace any helmet with a cracked shell or a bent cage.
We compare helmets from 6 brands. OBO (5), TK (4), Gryphon (2), Longstreth (1), PG Sports (1) & Lizixin (1). Use the brand filter at the top of the page to compare them side by side, or open a brand page to see everything it makes.
Most players buy helmets together with other essentials. Compare field hockey sticks, field hockey balls, field hockey shin guards, field hockey goggles & face masks, field hockey gloves, field hockey goalie equipment & field hockey shoes & cleats, or start from the FieldHockeyWorld homepage.

Measure your head circumference above the eyebrows and match it to the brand's chart. Junior and senior sizes differ.
Replace it after any serious impact, if the shell cracks or the cage bends, or when it no longer fits snugly.
