Any pros besides Kessel, Richards and St. Louis using Bauer 7500?

Just curious if anyone besides these guys are using the 7500?

Kunitz

Kessel

Richards

St. Louis?

St. Louis retired, as you know.

Eric Staal's been wearing his Bauer 5000 since... a long time. That's pre 7500, pre 5500!

Is the 7500 a tweaked version of the 5000? Like the fit lite is to the 11k?

[AIREAYE 248]

Tweaked? No 2 whole generations after the 5000, which was released in like 2004 or 2005. Same build style with a shallower narrow fit and an EPP liner with comfort pads. The 5000 was the most advanced helmet on the market when it was released, back when most if not all other helmets still used VN.

I picked one up and it fits better than anything else even though it seems like the 7500 is a has been or a never was

Just FYI, after a while, the 7500 glue will start to break down from your sweat and it will get into your hair/all over you. It happened to me and I've seen it happen to a lot of people. With the suggestions from MSH, I used Liquid Nails to re-glue them and never had a problem after that.

I was told that Bauer fixed the glue problem in the newer 7500 helmets?

Bauer 5000 was a Juggernaut in it's day. Lindros, Forsberg, Borque, are a few supporters off the top of my head.

I think by the time they got to the 7500 evolution, the 5100 / 9900 shell, and now the react series, ate it's lunch in the EPP based helmet category

I've been wearing a 7500 for about 5 years now. Very comfortable, but mine did have issues with the glue.
