Aaron Rodgers wore the Schutt Air XP Pro Q11 LTD helmet for many years, but it was banned by the NFL for not meeting new safety standards. Starting the 2025 season, he switched to the Schutt Air XP Pro VTD II helmet, which complies with NFL regulations. Rodgers has expressed strong dislike for the new helmet, primarily due to its look and feel, describing it as looking like a "darn spaceship" and saying he "hates it." He is trying to adapt but finds the new helmet much larger and rounder, and the old face mask he uses does not fit well with the new helmet shell.
In summary, Aaron Rodgers currently wears the Schutt Air XP Pro VTD II helmet, having been forced to retire his long-time preferred model, the Schutt Air XP Pro Q11 LTD, due to NFL safety regulations.
