Comments: I got this helmet a while back and out of the box I felt it was a great product. But I quickly realized that it was not very comfortable. I ended up having to take a bunch of bike helmet pads and use Velcro tape inside to make a more comfortable fit. I just feel like the "rubber" type padding on the front (against your forehead) is almost painful at times. I've since tried on other vendor helmets and there are several models that are way more comfortable and have better internal padding. If you are looking for a comfortable helmet, this isn't it. My adjusting clip on the back also popped off one night. Luckily I was able to find the super small screw thingy and after a lot of effort was able to get it back on and working. But now I'm more reluctant to use the clip. I would not recommend this helmet.
Pros: Light. Looks good.
Cons: Not comfortable.

Comments:i like this helmet. it looks sick, but lacks sweat wicking stuff and the adjusting clip on the back is not totally secure meaning that it can be adjusted during the game by itself. other than that, its very light and very comfortable

Comments:i recently bought this helmet, in navy and white. i have to say i have used many helmets such as the rbk 8k helmet,and the ccm vector 10 helmet. none of them come as close to the performance and comfort as the easton s17 helmet. when i first tried it on i knew i was gonna like it. the one difference i saw in this helmet that you wouldn't get from others is that at the end of the game the helmet didn't feal like extra weight sitten on your head.i would recomend it to anyone lookin for a new helmet(s).
