bauer helmets

[ladystorm3 0]

i have had a 4000 white, 2 5000 helmets white and red, red 8000.

i like the 8000 th best, boy is it comfy. i love the fact that u can widen it.

I have a quest and like it, no problems, but I have a very "fat head" lol, and the narrowness kills me. An 8000 will be in my future, just for the fact you can widen it :)

ive had both 4000 and 5000, prob. will never get a different helmet type than bauer 5000. the 4000 just isnt very comfortable to me at all.

I'd have to go with the 4000 even though it's a bit too narrow for me. The soft padding in my old 5000 kept falling out and I just got an 8000 for a guy and two pieces of the soft padding were in the bottom of the box.

all of my helmets have held up pretty good. The 8000 is very wide making it great for those with a big head.

I've always loved the 3000, but can't get them anymore from my LHS, they just seem to fit me the best though

yeah, but it's just easier to purchase what fits at the store, they got me into a 4000 and I can run with that. I may just look into Itech again though, as those are still the same as the one I had a yr and a half ago, and they fit relatively well

8000

I have a Bauer 4000 and it's great, very comfortable.

I tried on an 8000 last week and it was terrible, the inside of it was like having a concrete brick on your head, it was very hard. Concussion city was the first thing that came to my mind when I first tried it on, I have no idea how that would be able to protect someones head better than the traditional style foam helmets like the 4000.

I love my Bauer 8000, haven't tried the 5000.. but might get a white 5000 :)

got a concussion with the 5000 so I got an 8000 and its really comfortable, like the 8000 alot better

8000 are the greatest

[SnakeEyes29 0]

what are the big differences between the 3000 and 4000?

looks are the same

[ladystorm3 0]

i agree

[sdcopp 1]

The 3000 has single foam, the 4000 has dual foams. The 3000 is a slightly sleeker look, but there aren't any huge differences. The foam stiffness is the biggest difference, as the 4000 feels a bit stiffer when brand new.

i like my 5000 but i'm going to get and 8000 for my other team.

Despite the fact that I never judge equipment on how it looks, there is an exception in this case. The 8000 might actually be the ugliest thing I have ever seen, I can't bring myself to ever even think of wearing that puppy. 5000 for me.

yeah, its horrible looking, but it still might be one of the most comfortable helmets. i dont really need to adjust my helmet any more than the 5000, so i guess ill just stick with the nice-looking one(unless the 8000 really is that much better, which i doubt it)

[blues_91 0]

Noone on my team until now has had the 8000 besides me so I didn't mind wearing it I sometimes thought I still had the 5000. Now that someone else has it it reminds me how ULGY it is and it pisses me off looking at it. It's still a really comfy helmet tho :D

The Bauer 8000 is the only helmet out there that even comes remotely close to fitting the width of my head, so that's what I wear. It would be nice to be able to play hockey some day and actually have something that felt close to comfortable on my head though.
