A complete beginner goalie set is the most cost-effective way for a new keeper to start. Experienced keepers usually buy each piece separately.

Who wears a helmet in field hockey?

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.

Fit and safety

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.
