Cascade Helmets

$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.

tried on this helmet it is insanely comfortable but the cage they make with it is just awful and a friend of mine on my team used it for a practice

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

LOL are you seriously wondering whose word you would take in this one?

I really like the concept behind the padding but that's about all. The inner liner has little ventilation and is very warm. It's also a very strange fit and a couple fit me while others didn't, even though they were the same size. To sum it up, interesting concept and poor implementation.

these look like a RBK in the front and the side. The helmet looks ugly with different colors in front and back.

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.

I saw one in person, and IMO they are GARBAGE.

I have yet to see it in person, but from pics I think it looks great. Only in one solid color though. If they mismatch it looks terrible.

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?

what ever happened to Hefter Helmets. my coach owned them and then sold the company and then it seemed like it fell of the side of the earth

It was just a concept. CCM bought the shell and made the Vector helmet.

OK, so I went to the LHS yesterday and saw a couple of them. On the Cascade website i found them disgusting, and they reminded me of a turtles shell. But in person they are much better. They look legit, and kind of like an 8K from the front. I was very impressed with the foam, and it seemed very comfortable when i put it on, but the foam was different than the Intake, 8K, 6K, Vector. I would definetley consider getting it, and the foam felt similar to the Cascade CPX lacrosse helmet for all you lacrosse players out there.
