Does a Gear Comparison Site Actually Sell or Ship the Equipment?
What GearScore Actually Is
GearScore compares helmets, balls, gloves and bats side by side. For each item it shows a price band, a quality score, the safety certification it carries (such as NOCSAE, CPSC, or USA Bat), ship time, and sources. It is free and does not require a login.
Does GearScore Sell the Equipment?
No. GearScore is a comparison tool. It shows information like price band, ship time and sources so you can compare items, but the material does not say GearScore itself sells the gear.
- GearScore shows a "source" for each item.
- To actually buy the gear, you go to that listed source, not GearScore.
Does GearScore Ship the Equipment?
No. GearScore lists a "ship time" for items, but that is comparison information, not a shipping service run by GearScore. Check the listed source directly for real shipping details, since GearScore itself does not ship anything to you.
What About the Safety Certifications?
GearScore lists the certification each item carries, for example NOCSAE, CPSC, or USA Bat. But GearScore is not the certifying body. This is not official certification information.
- Always confirm the exact certification status directly with the manufacturer.
- Also check with your league before you buy or use the gear, since league rules on equipment and certification can matter for safety.
What About the Quality Score?
The material only describes this as "our quality score," used to compare helmets, balls, gloves and bats side by side. It does not explain the exact scoring method. Treat it as a general comparison, not a technical or certified rating.
Is My Information Stored?
GearScore is described as free and requiring no login. The material does not say anything about storing information you enter. We can't confirm one way or the other beyond what is stated: it is free, and no login is needed.
What to Do Next
This is not legal, medical, or tax advice, and it is not official safety certification information. The free tool can read your own document or numbers, so you can compare gear based on what you actually have in front of you, then confirm certification and equipment rules with your coach, league, or the manufacturer before you buy or use anything.
