Cascade Helmets

[Methane 0]

I was trolling through hfboards.com and found mention of Cascade Helmets. http://www.cascadeicehockey.com/

Does anybody have more info on these? There is a bit of discussion in other threads but no real answer about what they are.

cascades are new helmets...is that what you mean?

the big thread about them has some useful info.

im pretty sure this brand makes excellent lacrosse helmets.

On the yellow bar at the top, there is a search button, click it, then search "titles only"

Your search must be at least 4 characters long (avoid words like helmet, skate etc)

I searched Cascade, here are the threads.

Found those and read them. Several turned into pissing contests and the others had no new info. That's what I was interested in.

Pretty sure if there was anything new someone on the boards here would be on it...

[KYHockey3 0]

what specific kind of info are you looking for?

i mean their website has some info.

no one here has the helmet, so i doubt we can give you personal thoughts

Well, one of the other threads mentioned the helmet not having HECC certification yet. But, sure enough it's there on the list now on the updates from today.

The big question is pricing, or comfort if you've had it in your hand as some people have alluded to.

$109 naked/$129 caged.

Not a big fan, I've had it on my head and came away unimpressed. That seems to be the general consensus out there. Feels flimsy and poor fit.

Was this their own brand of cage, or was it some other cage they slapped on there?

[kovalchuk77 0]

those helmets look like the 04 jofa's

[Viking 1]

Is their cage anything different from all the other cages out there, or is it just like a ripoff of someone else's with their logo slapped on it?

[t1tan 19]

I'm assuming the cage is of their own design since they already make all of their Lacrosse helmet cages. I'm curious to know if there is a possibility of a Titanium cage from them as I have a Ti cage on my Cascade and its makes a near 1/2lb difference, and very nice construction/durability. I've taken quite a few cross checks to the face and not a scratch yet.

It's Out.. Perani's has them in their recent ad in USA Hockey Magazine. Gonna call down this afternoon and see what colors they have in stock, and what colors are available for Custom. Stay Tuned.

The long term plan is to have an almost infinite number of color combinations, like their lax product.

[Gummer12 134]

According to their website, their custom colors are, Black, White, Red, Royal, Navy, Orange, Yellow, Forest, Purple, Silver, Carolina, Athletic Gold, Maroon, and Old Gold. Sorry LC, no Pink (yet?)

I wonder if these will be acquired and marketed by a well established brand on the hockey market, like how CCM acquired the Hefter helmets? Or will people be "brave" and willing to try a new brand?

[JR Boucicaut 3809]

Cascade has been a well-known helmet manufacturer, especially in lacrosse. It is not a "new" brand.

Given the quality of the helmet, I don't really see anyone buying it. Either players or manufacturers.

FYI

I'm on the HECC website and the Cascade CHX was just added on Mar 1.

It's fugly, if your in the helmet market for looks (alot of vain hockey players lol) stay clear of it.

Once again, the more you read, the less you know??

The front of the helmet is alrght, but there is something about the back of the helmet that looks sooo 1980s Jofa. I like the custom color options though.
