Maple Leaf blue helmet

[danc 4]

Looking for a Reebok 7K helmet in same blue as Toronto has but can only find royal blue on any websites or LHS.

Are Reebok helmets in this colour available to the public. Kid's team needs that colour but all the Bauers sit too high on his head.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

According to the 2014 product catalogues, Reebok, CCM, Easton and Warrior only offer navy and royal blue at the retail level. The Mission Inhaler and all the senior Bauer helmets are available in blue.

You say, "Bauer sits too high on his head", but did you really try on all the Bauer models? They make A LOT of helmets with a variety of fits:

Mission Inhaler

Re-akt 100 (out soon)

Re-akt

IMS 11.0

IMS 7.0

IMS 9.0

7500

5100

4500

2100

I'd give the IMS 7.0 (based on the Cascade M11) a shot and perhaps the Mission Inhaler (looks similar to the old Intake, but I haven't had a chance to try one on). I have an M11 and an IMS 7.0 and find them to be very comfortable if a little warm - they also offer a wider/rounder fit which I believe is similar to the Reebok. I know the IMS 9.0 and 4500 helmets are narrower and didn't fit me well. Just be sure to try on all the models before writing off all Bauer helmets.

I looked at some Pro Stock CCM V08/V10 and Easton Z-19 helmets on a website and all they had was Montreal Canadiens Royal Blue and the standard Royal Blue.

I'm not sure what colour Toronto uses, but if it is indeed the same as the Canadiens, then it appears you can only get it as pro stock.

Also, if you go the pro stock route for the Reebok 7K, it won't be available, but the 8K (which is the better version) would be the option.

Canadiens blue and Maple Leaf blue are different.

Bauer is no longer offering Royal (Canadiens) blue for 2014.
