Bauer 4500 Hockey Helmets
Comments: Bought the 4500 in black size medium. I wear a 7 1/8" fitted hat and it is pretty tight fitting. Got a CCM 580 cage size medium which fits pretty well except if you want to use J-hooks to secure the cage even more. Classic look, should last me for a long time.

Comments: This helmet is great. Manny NHL players use them and they have been a classic for
a long time. The thing i love about this helmet is that it can be used for a beginner
recreational player all the way to pro! Overall great helmet highly recommend it anybody
looking for a helmet.

Comments: Decent bucket that is pretty light and fairly comfortable. It
adjusts easily enough on the bench if you keep a Philips screwdriver
nearby. It's angled a bit odd though and has some pressure points for
me, but if you have more of a round head it'd probably fit well. It's
not a big deal anyway since the VN foam isn't overly hard or
uncomfortable.

Comments: This helmet is excellent, and there's a reason why many pros still wear it. Classic look, simple design, and a great price. Plus, the XL fits my size 8 dome, although the padding is a bit stiff. Overall, this is what I think a hockey helmet should look like, and I would hesitate to recommend it to anyone I know! In fact, I just bought my Dad one to replace his wasted Cooper bucket from the early 90's.

Comments: Love this helmet. My small is a little loose, but it's nice and cool, and I really like the profile of it.
From: Chris
Comments: This helmet is perfect for any player. The fit is nice and the price is even better. Any bauer shield will fit on this helmet too!
From: Ryan
Comments: Decent Helmet. I have a huge head so I have to extended the biggest size all the way but the fit is similar to all helmets so no need to size up or down. It offers average protection and for the price you won't find anything better for the price. All these reason are why this helmet has been around and a staple at rinks for years. The only complaint I have is the foam padding is hard so it has little give and can be uncomfortable for some and during long periods of use. This padding keeps it from having great protection but is also what keeps it at a great price, so if you're really worried about protection and have the cash I'd suggest going up to the 7500, 9900, or Cascade M11.

Comments:Great helmet. Fits nice, looks nice, and relatively cheap for what you're getting. I recommend it to anyone from the beginner to intense player, nice and cool while playing too.
