Intake of BN 8500

[gp3r 0]

Hi. I'm new to this site and would like to get your opinions on the following topic:

Someone I know, who happens to work for a pro team, has offered me a new helmet. I have to choose between the new Mission Intake or the new BN 8500. Right now, I'm leaning towards the Intake, but I really can't decide which one to choose.

Which one should I get?

Has anyone of you guys ever played with one of them.

IIRC the 8500 is a newly branded 8000 helmet. The difference being the NBH logo instead of strictly the Bauer logo.

Which ever one fits you best...

Yes, I know that. I've already seen the helmets, but have never used them. Right now, I'm playing with a bauer 5000, so I've never tried the 8000. I would like to know if anyone ever played with one of them. If so, did you like it or not?

I've never put on an Intake but I own both a 5000 and 8000. I like the adjustability on the 8000 better, that and the improved ventilation.

they're both top of the line helmets with similar features, if the 5000 fits you well, you might as well go with the 8500, though it might be heavier than the intake.
