The CCM Vector 08 Hockey Helmet with Cage is a traditional style pro-approved helmet. This helmet has many of the same features as the Vector 10 helmet, with the biggest difference being the liner.
The V08 helmet has a mechanically attached dual density pro preferred VN liner, that offers great protection but is known for its comfort. The aerodynamic shell design with maximum ventilation really helps increase airflow and keeps the player cool throughout the game.
This helmet comes with the FM06 cage which has the same basic cage construction as the FM580, but with a single density chin cup. Many players prefer the silver cage because silver does not blend in with the ice or the puck. It also gives the player a flashy "dangle-cage" look.
The shell is designed for an extended field of vision, giving the Vector 08 and 10 the industry's widest field of vision. The lift and lock tool-free side adjustment makes adjusting the size a breeze.

Previous Feedback
Comments: This helmet is extremely comfortable after breaking in. The cages seem to run a bit small. You might want to order this helmet without a cage and use a size larger or possibly a Bauer cage. I recommend trying the combo on before ordering to avoid sizing issues. My chin cup is a little tighter than I'd prefer, but it's not enough for me to change. I love the helmet... No regrets on my purchase.

Comments: comfortable for a round head. Cage is weird, chin cup rests odly, get a bauer cage
