Bauer 4500 or CCM Vector V08?

[lkool 1]

Looking for opinions on these two helmets.

can't go wrong with either, i wore the 4500 for a few years and loved it, and my new team got v08's for out team helmet. I didn't think i would like it at first but it is actually really comfortable.

V08 is wider, fits my head much better.

A buddy and I were screwing around with helmets and hats a while back. We're the same hat size, but my Bauer helmet wouldn't fit him at all. It was too long for him front to back. I could squeeze his CCM on, but it had a lot of room side-to-side.

Bauer was long and narrow. The CCM was short and wide. Even though they had roughly the same circumference.

Try them both on if you can.
