I've owned 1 CCM 652, 2 Bauer 4000, 1 NBH 4500 and 1 NBH 8500. The CCM Vector helmet buries, absolutely BURIES, all those in comfort. I have a large diameter head (~8in) so I've historically have had a difficult time finding helmets that fit properly let alone that are comfortable. This helmet resolves both those issues. You have to try one on to truly understand how comfortable this helmet is. Kudos to whoever came up with the memory foam idea.
