flip12 714 Report post Posted July 8, 2019 It looks kind of like a yacht sailing on Chara’s thoughts and dreams. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IPv6Freely 2092 Report post Posted July 8, 2019 Man, that thing looks like a cross between the goofy Warrior bucket and a bicycle helmet. Maybe that's just because Chara's melon is so huge. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
althoma1 574 Report post Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) https://mipsprotection.com/news-room/worlds-first-hockey-helmet-with-mips-brain-protection-system-announceds/ That article says it's called the Dynamic 9 Pro, uses the MIPS brain protection system and is set to launch in November 2019. I read somewhere else that the launch was moved up to October 2019, but either way, it looks like it's a fall launch.

VegasHockey 1280 Report post Posted July 8, 2019 A couple of the ASU players have them. I had a chance to try one on and it's very similar to a more advanced E700. I'm excited for them to be released soon. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It should be extremely interesting. I think it looks like a 5000 Warrior cross.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Curious how well it fits/performs. https://mipsprotection.com/ Performance will be top notch. Fit have to wait and see. Pretty sure it will be dialed in though.. tons of helmet research from that factory. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3797 Report post Posted July 9, 2019 I'm curious to see how similar this will be to Easton's MIPS helmet (which never saw retail; was set to release but they were sold to PSG and it got mothballed.) What I'm not looking forward to is how this helmet will be perceived as safer AND fit everyone at the same time when it's never been that way. 5 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I knew there was someone else who was intending to go with MIPS. I remember hearing that at the CSA meeting. Easton eh.. hummmm. I think it will be the same as all other helmets and only fit a majority not all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oilers97 20 Report post Posted July 11, 2019 Yeah... it looks so weird. I know chara was the model but it seems so low profile. Hard to say how the pro reception would be. The reakt 200 never got time at the NHL level same goes for the Fitlite 500. They really are appealing to the consumer market as a “concussion proof” or ultra safe helmet. That being said the Warrior Alpha Pro was very popular this year. I think I’ll stick with my V08s lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're basing your decision solely based on looks, I'm not sure Warrior is what you're looking for 😆 12 hours ago, Oilers97 said: They really are appealing to the consumer market as a “concussion proof” or ultra safe helmet.
