Helmet with fit similar to Itech HC100?

[santiclaws 0]

I have an HC100 which fits me well, but is getting a bit old. I'd prefer to buy locally, but the closest "local" shops to me with any kind of selection are... HockeyGiant and HockeyMonkey. They're both a good 2-hour drive away, and I just don't have a half a day to kill to get a helmet, not to mention that with today's gas prices, it'll probably be cheaper to have the helmet shipped. So I'm reduced to buying online. Suggestions?

Mission Intake should have a very similar if not identical fit seeing as they are the same helmet (from the exterior anyhow)

I'm also interested in this, as my HC100s are getting closer to the end of their life...

intake isnt the same from the exterior... i think they share a common back half, but the front was redone.

The fit is very close between the HC100 and the intake. Mission bought Itech, made the vents a little bigger, changed the LD foam padding a bit (I think it's gel now) and added the "Mission Head Lock", a small piece of EPP hanging from the back of the helmet with elastic.

Call me crazy, but my intake felt a touch heavier than my HC100 (in my hand, doesn't make a difference when on my head).

I think my Intake fits better because of the back adjustment and the foam sits better on my head

+1, a medium Intake weighs more than a medium HC100.

+1 on the Intake sharing a back half with the HC100. My Intake and HC100 both have "HC100" molded into the plastic in the same spot.

I went from an Itech HC95, to an HC100, and now a RBK 8K. Give it a try.
