Bauer Helmet Question

Recommended Posts

I am currently looking at purchasing either the re-akt or the re-akt 100 helmet. Do you guys feel the re-akt 100 is worth the extra money over the original re-akt? I have tried both helmets on and they fit equally well. For those of you that have the original re-akt, has there been any durability issues?

People say that the 100 isn't as protective? I don't know; I use the 100 in a non-checking league so it doesn't matter to me. As for price differences, I bought it through the LHS employee purchase program at the shop I work at so it was significantly cheaper.

I have the Bauer Re-Akt 75 Hockey Helmet Combo with a cage and it's perfectly fine. I think the extra cost for the 100 series is a waste unless you plan to get hit hard all the time. You can also find the IMS 11.0 for a good deal as well and that is a great helmet.

Also, if you like the look of the Re-Akt, but prefer VN foam, the IMS 9.0 is a great bucket with the same shell as the Re-Akt 100 (minus the occipital adjustment) the Re-Akt 75 is an updated 7500.
