Hey Thugnation, To keep it short and sweet; -The NEW MISSION INHALER HELMET was driven from the iconic MISSION INTAKE. We wanted to give the NEW MISSION INHALER HELMET a refreshed look, so we gave the new helmet an aggressive shell design that was RH focused but recognizable as MISSION. We chose to use the RH preferred VN and VEX foam which is light weight,comfortable and offers great protection. Speaking of protection, we didn't want to limit the players ability to play inline or ice hockey, so we made sure to bring a helmet that was certified in the protective category making this product available to every player. Noticing a lot of players using off color'd loops in the game play today, we decided to give our helmet more style by offering off colored loops as our standard. Our Comfort Catch is a softer more supple type foam that offers great protection and allows for maximum comfort. 3 KEY FOCUS's to designing our NEW MISSION INHALER HELMET Moisture Management (Ventilated Shell Design, SweatHog II Sweatband, Perforated VN Foam Liner w/Vex foam Inserts) Comfort & Fit (SweatHog II Sweatband, Comfort Catch, Single Point Adjustment System) Protection (HECC | CSA | CE) For more info on tech: Read earlier posts.
