What Players Are Saying.
I don't touch my helmet during games anymore, it's just always in place. Through the entire dodge, through the contact, through the shot. Compared the old chin straps, I never have to worry about my vision changing from my helmet moving or jeopardized my safety by my helmet falling off. Every helmet should have a Jackal for the safety of players.
I started using Jackal Jaw during my senior year '24 at Penn State after sustaining a concussion. Jackal Jaw gave me so much confidence returning to the field knowing I was using a specialized product that would protect my most important asset, my brain. As soon as you put it on, you feel more protected and more comfortable in your helmet. I was so glad a product like Jackal Jaw has hit the market as I know it will help protect the future generations of lacrosse players.
During the '22 season at Delaware, I broke my jaw during a collision. After surgery, I was expecting a 6-8 week recovery. I was given Jackal Jaw's JX1 to help protect my jaw. I returned in week 6 and on the opening play, I had a heavy collision. My jaw and chin felt secure and unscathed. I was able to play at full speed with confidence. I never missed a practice or game after strapping on Jackal Jaw and I couldn't be more thankful.
As a parent, you worry constantly about high-impact checks. This strap completely locks my son’s helmet down so it can't twist or slide up into his eyes when he initiates contact. He loves the professional look, and I love knowing his jaw is fully cushioned by real impact technology.
In lacrosse, the chinstrap has always been neglected and no other options were available until Jackal Jaw came on the scene. Immediately after putting it on, the JX1's material and design provide an intensely comfortable chinstrap. Communicating is easy and the material does not constantly rub and irritate my skin like the traditional leather straps. The JX1 gives extra confidence to my game and I can't imagine not using it.
During my senior season at the University of Vermont, I made the switch to the JX1. It fit effortlessly and kept my helmet secured in place while still allowing all my typical movements. The materials were sturdy and durable, but also elastic and somewhat malleable. It is clear that the JX1 was engineered with the user in mind, and time was taken to consider the specific shape to protect the jaw.
I really enjoyed using Jackal Jaw this season because it offered a ton of support when defending guys who like to initiate contact. The JX1 wouldn't ride up to my mouth or nose area, which was great. It was very comfortable and helped me mentally because I knew I could drop my shoulder and lean into someone without worrying about my helmet shifting.
I used to get horrible chin rashes from standard straps absorbing sweat and rubbing during summer club tournaments. The Jackal material doesn't hold moisture or chafe at all. It stays perfectly clean and comfortable through back-to-back game days.
Defense is all about toughness, grit, and resiliency. Wearing Jackal gives me the ability to leave it all out on the field knowing I am being protected at the highest level. It allows me to go 100% after ground balls and make physical contact while being fully protected. It is also the most comfortable chinstrap I have worn in my entire career.
Jackal Jaw is a product I wish I had my whole life. The combination of the reinforced jaw pad and the texture/material for comfort makes this one of the most important pieces of equipment. The stability and "locked in" feeling is not achieved with regular chin straps. It also protects my face from the inside of the helmet when I get hit. Jackal Jaw is the only chinstrap I use, I'll never go back.
I was introduced to Jackal Jaw because my chin constantly busted open due to contact with typical leather lacrosse chin straps. Jackal Jaw not only protected my chin but was the most comfortable chin strap I have ever worn. Another great part is how easy it is to keep clean — just a little soap and water. I highly recommend Jackal Jaw to anyone who plays lacrosse.
Wearing Jackal Jaw has been the best equipment change I've ever made in my lacrosse career. The JX1 is comfortable, secure and reliable. It gives me the confidence to step in front of shooters and not worry about soaking one on the chin. After wearing this strap, there's no way I could go back to the old leather strap.
The difference in helmet stability is night and day. On fast breaks, my old gear used to ride up and block my line of sight. The JX1 forms perfectly to my jawline and locks the helmet right where it belongs so I can stay locked onto the play.
