Comments: This helmet rocks! Offers great protection at a great price. And it was shipped and at my doorstep in 2 days!!! So fast! It is easy to adjust and the cage is nice as well.
From: Brittany, Chandler, AZ

Comments: Very good for beginner, or bear league, or a kid. Gives enough protection, feels comfortable and can be easily adjusted.
From: Vera, Pittsburgh, PA

Comments: This is a great helmet.  I wear a 7 1/2 hat so I went with the large and it fits perfectly.  VERY easy to adjust to your preference and I don't even notice the cage in game.  I like how it breathes, feels, and the protection it provides.
From: Casey, TX

Comments: Most aspects of this helmet/cage combo are great, including the price. This is probably more of an individual problem but I have an issue with pressure points right around my temples. Seems well made though and is easy to adjust with the appropriate tools.
From: Greg, NC

Comments: I really liked the liner in this helmet as opposed to others with a VN liner that I had tried on. It breathes really well and is easy to size with a simple adjustment. Definitely a great buy for the price.
From: Darren, South Carolina

Comments: Just got this in the mail and right away i love it! great for intermediate play and extremely comfortable. Great for the player on a budget! 
From: Sebastien

Comments: I bought the helmet for myself as I just started learning the game. Much better than I expected - really lightweight, sits tight and protects well enough for my level of play. Great helmet for the money!!!!!!
From: SD

Comments:Breathes well and adjusts to your dome easily with a Phillips screwdriver. The cage protects my beautiful face without obstructing my vision. What more does one need? 
From: Aly

Comments: My dad bought this helmet and has been happy with it. Like another reviewer said the chin strap isnt that great and although he seems to be fine the bauer helmet I bought has more vents on it dont know if that will be a problem or not, but overall it seems to be a good helmet especially for the price.
From: Donald, NV

Comments: Pretty sound helmet. Great value for the price. A little tight around my temples, but that was easily fixed. My only complaint is that the chin strap that comes with it is a little tight and unforgiving. Definitely recommend buying some ear loops with it.
