Previous Feedback
Comments: I have noticed that this helmet have a wide width which fit great for people with wide head like me. This helmet have a light EPP which offer great shock absorption. It have a very comfortable foam that touch your head when you put it on. It feel kinda like a gel padding / memory foam. The tool less adjustment is very easy to use and adjust. New helmet have removable sticker on the helmet on how to use to like installing cage or shield or how to adjust the helmet. Ventilation on this helmet done a good to keep your head dry from sweating while playing.

Comments: Can't go wrong with this helmet. I purchased it when it came out in early 2011 and two years later I have no complaints. I play on a weekly basis and have never had a problem. I use a Bauer clear shield attached and that was very easy to fit and looks great.
