The Bauer RE-AKT Hockey Helmet with Cage is the top of the line helmet combo from Bauer. The RE-AKT helmet features Bauer's new innovative suspended liner, advanced foams, and a Titanium cage. A set-up that delivers a new higher level of protection to the game in a very lightweight package, when compared to any other hockey helmet.
Bauer’s Suspend-Tech liner moves independently from the interior liner. During an oblique hit (a hit from an angle, which is common), the suspended liner stays with the head, keeping the pads in the proper place. While the interior liner and shell rotate to absorb and deflect the impact. This process helps protect the brain from excessive movement that can be harmful.
Adding to Bauer’s RE-AKT helmet protection is the use of PORON® XRD™ foam, a super light very pliable and breathable material that dissipates extreme force on impact. A proven gel-like foam used the Bauer 9900 helmet. Bauer uses PORON® XRD™ in the Suspend-Tech liner and in 2 key side impact areas. The rest of the interior liner is constructed of a Vertex foam that offers enhanced impact properties at both high and low energy when compared to the traditional EPP foam. The Vertex foam is also 20% lighter than EPP foam, but just as dense.
For adjustments, Bauer has introduced a single tool-free shell adjustment. Quick and easy, located on the top of the helmet, just lift and slide to adjust the 2-piece shell to the correct circumference. To help snug up the helmet, Bauer has introduced the Occipital Lock 3.0. As seen on the 9900 helmet, but the 3.0 version features a slicker one button adjustment. The occipital lock uses a nice spongy foam to help stabilize and lock the back of the head in for a proper fit with maximum comfort.
The RE-AKT's cage is made out of Titanium making it 46% lighter than traditional face masks. The oval wiring that Bauer used will reduce the visual obstruction by 20% vs. competitors premium models. Bauer used a triple density free floating chin cup and added in a PORON® XRD™ insert to combine comfort and impact management properties.
And of course, the Bauer RE-AKT helmet also looks great on. It features a new sleek look, modeled after the popular, pro-look of the 4500 helmet.
- Heritage: New
- Bauer Sizing Guidelines:
Helmet Size / Hat Size / Head Circumference
*The Bauer RE-AKT helmet sizing guidelines are different from other Bauer helmet guidelines
SM / 6 1/2- 7 1/8 / 20.4" - 22.4" (52 - 57 cm)
MD / 7 - 7 1/2 / 22" - 23.6" (56 - 60 cm)
LG / 7 1/2 - 8 / 23.4" - 25.2" (59.5 - 64 cm)
The IMS 9.0 is the same shell as the RE-AKT (other than that it now has a spring-loaded occipital lock system instead of the tab that is on the RE-AKT,) however, the internals are different. It has their Vertex foam, but doesn't have the Suspend-Tech liner that is found on the RE-AKT. It has a thin layer of VN on top of the Vertex, so at first glance, if you were to flip the helmet around and look into it, it'd look like a VN helmet. It is essentially what a pro VN RE-AKT would look like, if it existed.
One point that has to be made is that every NHLer you saw wearing a RE-AKT was wearing the off-the-shelf version. So, now, they have an option if they like that fit/VN feel and don't want the Suspend-Tech, and so do you. MSRP $139.

Comments: Easily the most comfortable helmet I have ever worn. The Re-akt cage is also extremely light and the combo together is great.
From: Jeff, Carpinteria, CA
Comments: This is the best helmet I have ever gotten. So comfortable, and fantastic handling.
From: Sung, NY
Comments: Some may turn away from this helmet due to the large price tag, but when it comes to protecting your most important asset, price should not be an issue. As a medical school student, I would much rather protect my head than pay $230 for a high end stick. Of course, fit plays the largest role in proper protection, and I found the sizing to be slightly larger than the traditional Bauer helmet (I would recommend trying one on before purchasing). After trying on every high end helmet out there myself, I found this to be the most comfortable, with absolutely zero pressure points, and the occipital adjustment to very helpful in locking the helmet into place. The cage is incredibly light and has great sight lines, definitely the best one on the market at the moment. My only gripe would be that I found sweat dripping down my face while playing, but thats to be expected as the foam in most new helmets is not absorbent. I may have to velcro in a small sweatband in the forehead. I cannot comment on long-term durability, but I haven't found any areas of concern as of yet. Overall, whether you're playing contact AAA or non-contact beer league hockey, buying a good helmet should be a top priority, and this is one I would highly recommend.
From: Tim
Comments: This helmet is straight up great,so comfy and light. I've been hit to the head a few times while wearing it, no dizziness or problems like i would have if i was still wearing my 8K. I'd reccomend to anyone it's worth every cent!
From: Mitch
Comments: very comfortable helmet. The suspend tech solved my headaches caused by pressure points near my temple as I would with my old Bauer 7500. The new re-akt Titanium cage is very light, but I went back with my old Bauer 7500 cage as I find the bars thicker in comparison.
From: Eric
Comments: I like the helmet and agree with the first users comments that it does run a little on the large side.
From: Steve, MI
Comments: A great helmet. Lightweight, comfortable and easily adjustable are some of the characteristics of this helmet. Used a Bauer 5500 then switched to Reebok 11k, but this one is by far hands done the best. The helmet is extremely lightweight even with the RE-AKT cage. I do not get any of the headaches or temple pressure points like I did in my other helmets. The helmet does not retain moisture like my 11k did and dries very easily. I would recommend sizing the helmet first as it seems to run large. I wore large in the 11k and 5500 but I am wearing a medium and it fits perfectly
From: Mike, Texas
Comments: My original helmet was never very comfortable, and I suspected the protection wasn't the greatest either. Decided to upgrade, so I did some research on the Bauer Reakt. It seemed like it had a lot of great features, so I went for it. Now, I'll preface this by saying I've only worn it twice, but WOW - what a difference from my old CCM! So comfortable and a breeze to adjust. I especially like the occipital 3.0 feature. It's so easy, you can do a quick adjust while sitting on the bench, waiting for your next shift! The memory foam is not just marketing hype - it really works! Again, I've only worn it in a couple of games, but I can feel it getting more comfortable with each use. I bought the helmet/cage combo - definitely great sight lines with the cage. I never feel like there's a blind spot and the titanium cage is very light. Overall, a wonderful helmet. They say that skates are the most important equipment, but the helmet has to be a close second place. Highly recommended!
