New Mission Helmet

Recommended Posts

I'm not entirely sure but last February a independent investor bought Bauer from Nike. In September they bought Mission/Itech Hockey.

here is some links to some article if your interested:

Bauer buys Mission/Itech Hockey

Thanks for the articles and clearing that up for me. I was able to find a good amount of info on the Nike dropping Bauer, which seems to be a good thing as the guy who purchased Bauer considers himself a skate guy. I was just kinda lost as to why Mission was picked up by Bauer considering I thought Mission was doing pretty well.

The only problem I see here is that with Nike leaving the business, and Bauer now owning Mission/Itech, that only leaves two/three major companies competing against each other RBK/CCM and Bauer. Not necessarily a good thing for the consumer... <_<

Theres still easton, at least for brands that make everything, head to toe.

Warrior is now into protective, and I wouldn't bet against them having a back room where someone just so happens to be doodling skate designs and helmet looks...
