Comments: THIS IS A VERY DURABLE HELMET I GOT CHECKED TWICE HEAD FIRST AND I AM CONCUSSION FREE!
From: Raja
Comments: Nice looking helmet and well constructed, but check the fit. I purchased a Mens Medium, which I have worn for the last 25 years (CCM), and found this helmet sits deep. It actually was at about my eyebrow line in the front and was too low to wear. Adjusting the size helped little before it became too tight. I switched back to my old helmet for now. A friend with a larger head purchased a Small after meeting with the Easton rep locally. That seemed to fit me better. This is my first Easton helmet and maybe they run large.

Comments: This is an awesome helmet at a great price. I've played with in outdoors in both 45 degree weather and 16 degree weather and it has been comfortable over the entire range. I really recommend it.
From: Joe, NY
Comments:Not the most comfortable helmet if you have a huge head but once you break it in, it's great. I've played one game of ball hockey in it and my head was cool as a cucumber, albeit really sweaty. However, I can feel it loosening up so a few more games and it should start to feel comfortable. It's already lighter than my old CCM helmet. My suggestion for those of you with a big head like mine or if you're on the border of the sizing, get the bigger helmet and just size it down. If you're a 7 1/2 or around that, definitely get the XL. A CCM will probably offer a better, safer fit but you can't beat how awesome this helmet looks, feels, and performs.
