Previous Feedback
Comments: I am very happy with the purchase of this helmet. It is very comfortable and the tool free adjustment is a nice option. I am coming from a Bauer helmet and ordered the same size, but it is a litle more snug than the Bauer. I wish I had known that as I would have gone a size higher, but hopefully my mention of this in my review will help the next person. I have only had this helmet for a 10 game session, but I expect it will last me a very long time.

Comments: I'm a big fan of this helmet. the foam pads do a really good job of keeping the sweat off my face. I have a wide head and it is a bit tight on the sides but it isn't a deal breaker.

Comments: This helmet is better than any other helmet I have ever used. I have had 2 of them over the last 4 years and they are fantastic. They take blows to the head without any damage to the helmet or to me. I have been hit from behind and gone head first into the boards at full speed, and I still didnt have any damage to me or the helmet. This helmet is light and offers a low price for a great product. It is protective, durable, light, and it allows you to adjust the size for your head. It is the best helmet you can buy. It is also very stylish.

Comments: This helmet is the best helmet I have ever owned. I play with a Bauer 9900, and I got this one for when I officiate. This helmet is way better than the Bauer, lighter, more comfortable, and it has taken sticks and pucks without problems. Buying this helmet is one of the best equipment choices I have ever made

Comments: Using the 7K with the Oakley Pro Straight visor attached. Pros : Moderately priced. Light(15% lighter than the 11K), good fit with easy tool free adjustment. Good ventilation. The memory foam padding makes for a comfy fit. In a nutshell, I am very happy with the purchase. Cons: None that I have experienced yet.
