Overview

The Bauer 9900 Hockey Helmet with Cage is one of the premier hockey helmets from Bauer. Bauer has taken the 9500 design and taken it to the next level. The Bauer 9900 helmet is 10% lighter than the 9500 helmet, and offers an improved deep, snug, and very comfortable fit right from the box with zero sacrifice in protection.

9900 helmet has an improved fit that sits a little deeper on the head. However, the outer shell has remained the same. This is a dual density two piece shell. Allows for easy adjustability, and great ventilation.

Bauer has also introduced a new type of material they are calling PORON® XRD foam which is used at two spots on each side of the head in the high-impact area. This material is extremely light, breathable, and flexible making it perfect for hockey. According to Bauer the PORON® foam dissipates more than 90% of force on impacts.  This material is used along with FXPP foam, and slow memory comfort foam. The FXPP foam dissipates 20% less energy than standard EPP foams. The slow memory foam offer a great comfortable fit. Basically they have your comfort and protection covered with the combination of these high-end foams.

This version feature the Bauer 9900 cage that offers great protection with exceptional visibility.

Comments: Definitely feels protective, and I've had a lot of impacts that probably could have ended a lot worse if I'd had an inferior helmet. It's fairly light and fairly comfortable, though not surprisingly so. The tool-free adjustment is really convenient, though I honestly could never get it to feel quite right on my head. The straps are sturdy and still snap shut like new after a few years of use. Only a few complaints: this helmet definitely seems a little bulkier than most (not heavy, just large in volume); the chin cup on the cage combo is large, hard, and rough on my chin, although it does seem to stay clean and dry; the springs in the occipital adjustment (back of the head) broke very quickly after buying, simply not designed for frequent impact (not Bauer's smartest design). I'd say try it on somewhere before you buy it and see if it feels right. Try on other models and brands until you find one that really stands out in terms of fit.

Comments:  I wasn't a fan of this helmet. It just never felt comfortable to me, so I sold it and I bought a Reebok 11k. That's how a helmet should feel.

Comments: This helmet is awesome! Incredibly comfortable and protection on the helmet is incredible, as well. Can easily swap the visor for a clear shield in minutes.

Comments: Purchased this helmet to replace my aging CCM lid. I am very limited in terms of fit because I need an X-Lg to get a good fit. I purchased this one w/ the Bauer cage fitted on. My initial impression when I got it was that it was very lightweight. The two-tone cage is an interesting idea. I'm not sure the lighter pain color on the inner surface of the bars helps visibility, but it doesn't hurt either. The padding was noticibly different & more like a bicycle helmet's styrofoam padding but w/ gel (poron) padding glued on top. I've taken a inline puck & an errant stick to the helmet over a few seasons & haven't felt a thing. Tool-less adjustment is very nice. It is a very comfortable helmet. The only issue I have had is that the poron padding is held onto the stiffer styrofoam padding by some sort of glue. After using it a couple of seasons, the padding in the rear (occipital) area has loosened & falls out after i use it. It will stick back on, as the surface remains "tacky" enough, but it always falls back out when I dry my equipment.

Comments: Used Bauer's for years and I LOVE this helmet. Much better fit than the previous NikeBauer 9900, super light weight and extremely ventilated.
