Anyone have the new Cascade helmet?? Thoughts, doubts, comments. Thanks

is it certified yet?

[EBondo 242]

It is...Otherwise they wouldn't be advertising it in full-page ads in USAhockey or have it on the HockeyWorld website.

Thats actually where I just read about it. Wonder what the weight is like compared to the RBK 8k??

I believe we covered it in the vegas show roundup. I like the concept behind the "cell" padding, but I don't like the helmet at all. The inner lining doesn't allow enough airflow, making it really warm and the sizing is very inconsistent.

Peeped it yesterday at my LHS. They only had kiddie sizes on display, otherwise I would've rocked it to get a feel for it, but my impressions so far are it's bulky, heavy, and looks very much like their lacrosse helmet. I'd be surprised if this sells.

i tried it on at my lhs and it was very hard to get it to fit. when you try to move the back closer to the head you have to unscrew the bolt that you snap your cage too which is a pain because i can see everyone losing the bolts. then when you change the width all of the foam gets out of shape. after 20 minutes i couldnt get it to fit so i just left. the padding feels nice but its just to hard to understand how you can change everything

We just got them in and I personally didn't care for it. The fit didn't agree with the shape of my head, and the padding felt cheap. I will concur with the previous posters who have declared it fugly. The cage seemed ok though.

I don't know anyone who would actually buy this helmet.

yea they made it look too much like their lacrosse helmets

I'm starting to hear a lot of negative opinions from people who have one. Padding is too hard.Adjustment is difficult when used with a cage and of course personal preference issues about fit, but that's normal.

I was thinking about purchasing it. I tried it on at my lhs and I thought it felt great. It was very comfortable but I can relate to the poster who said there is not much air flow and would get very hot. I thought that it looked pretty sweet but like someone said to each is his own.

Oh I thought it was heavy, too. Or at least the way it was built, like the mass was very weighted down in parts to just make it feel the opposite of an 8K.

think it looks like a fancy mylec helmet

Just remember not to submit that for the MSH slogan, I know a few members who would be crushed to hear that.
