Here is another picture i took a couple months ago of a white E700. Love the matte finish of these things.

He looks familiar...

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

The interior is still being tweaked.

They made some good changes to the helmet and will have a slightly downspec'd helmet in the E600.

Matte is only available on the E700.

I'm not sure how I feel about the black matte, but I like the white matte a lot. Not sure that makes since, just seems like black matte would stand out too much.

Is the shell identical to the S19?

This was the helmet Tikhonov was wearing like 10 pages back.

And people called me crazy because I said it wasn't a S19.

there are a lot of people that want to stand out, in any way they can. I really liked the new Easton helmet, it's far more adjustable than the s19 and will fit way more people.

Completely agree. Hockey gear allows people to sport their own style.

So this is to replace the S19? Probably going to need a new lid next season and have always been interested in the S17/19 from the start, but didn't need a new helmet at the time.

I'd love to wear a matte helmet. Would be awesome!

The new adjustment system looks like it works really well, as you can see the helmet clearly doesn't fit Nsegall's head well in the picture i posted above, but he still wore it with ease. Luckly the S19 mold fits me great so i'm hoping it fits me like a glove.

And people called me crazy because I said it wasn't a S19.

That entire thing was just an epic fail. Let me clue some people in, Easton helmets are designed 10 miles from San Jose, it makes sense that R&D would be done close. Now i need to figure out how to get them to let me test product for them!

It fits my head very well, it's very adjustable on the inside. And maybe you'll be able to test out the next one ;P

[Chadd 916]

It fits my head very well, it's very adjustable on the inside.

I also like the fact that the pads are replaceable, as are the plastic adjustment pieces.

Your ear is clearly in the wrong place! Anyone know the price point? 129?

[shoeshine boy 242]

Richard Park using a new patterned set of Eagles tonight...

what's with the bear on the thumb of Cookie's Warriors?

[noodle3872 40]

Shoeshine, look back a couple pages....

No one knows yet..

That's what I was looking for LOL, the S19 didn't sell very well here, perhaps mainly due to the one piece shell design not fitting as many people as it could have when compared to everything else that's adjustable. It looks like Easton learned from that.

I also hope that they did away with the rear adjustment flap. There was a problem with nearly all of our S13s and most of our remaining S17s due to the back flap, not sure if it was widespread or not.

I couldn't wear an S19 no matter how much I wanted to, but the new one is fine. The new one does fit larger than the S19, I strongly suggest that people buy them in a shop and not just blindly order them assuming they will get the correct size.

[MrWizard 0]

Hmm, just bought a 9900, but the E700 is a nice helmet. I had an S19 but returned it because I couldn't get my visor mounted on it, anyone know if it will be easier to do that with this helmet?

[niXon 4]

Really digging the white E700. Might be time to replace the S9.

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

With all due respect to Easton, whose helmet I really like; I suggest you wait and see what other companies have coming out for 2012, in terms of a fit/spec standpoint. Warrior and Bauer also have some really nice helmets coming out as well.

By no means am I dogging the Easton (which I will wear shortly) but just saying that there's going to be a ton of options.

[shoeshine boy 242]

Shoeshine, look back a couple pages....

thanks! posted while I was on vacation which is why I missed it. :)

[letsgocaps61 0]

Is there going to be a replacement of the 9900? I'd love to get a 9900 for less than it is now!

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

Nope. 9900 stays put.

[sharks25 9]

Yeah, the rep I had talked to said that they're just introducing a new helmet. I'm not sue if Im allowed to talk about it at all though.

[BoDangles 0]

I highly doubt these may be anything as far as new, but notice RN-H had different tendon guards compared to retail and other pro stocks I've seen. No colour and one is silver and the other black?

[mwerth 5]

Nope. 9900 stays put.

What about the 5000/5500/7500 line? Thanks.
