The Bauer IMS 7.0 Hockey Helmet with Cage offers a solid level of protection that improves on the popular Cascade M11 helmet. The IMS 7.0 utilizes redesigned Seven Technology™ to better manage high and low impacts. With a tool-free shell adjustment feature and a 15 point ProFit™ adjustment tool, this IMS 7.0 will fit a player securely and comfortably.
When Bauer acquired the Cascade helmet company, they also retained the rights to the Patented Seven Technology. This great technology is a cluster of 7 cones that compress when the helmet takes an impact. Bauer bettered this proven protection system by softening the cones so that they will manage low impacts better.
The IMS 7.0 features the ProFit™ 15 point micro adjustment system. This is an excellent protective feature that insures a 360° personalized fit so that the helmet stays properly in place.
