Guy Incognito 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2006 I just bought a Mission Intake, but it seems too shallow for my head. I was thinking of putting it on the trading block for a RBK 8K, which seems to have more depth. However, I thought I'd take a shot in the dark to see if there is an adjustment feature I am missing on the Intake. Or even if the Intake will change as it breaks in.

mnitishin 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2006 if your using a helmet that may not fit well in a contact sport such as hockey, i wouldnt take a shot in the dark because if it doesnt fit right it may put your head at risk for injury. i guess if you went to some stick times and break it in there is no risk. IMO, if you dont like the fit, trade it or sell it before you use it so you can get all your money back to buy something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

duch 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2006 Mnitishin is right. If you don't like the fit get rid of it because your just kidding yourself it you think you can wear it in. Don't sacrifice protection for anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gavin 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2006 Question about fit why does Pronger's RBK look like a "lid" (lotsa room widethwise) whereas other guys have new RBKs that look much closed to the head. Did he put some pads in there to made it snug, but keep the skeleton away from his head? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
