CCM Tacks 920 Helmet - R3FLEX Protection - Elite-level 3-in-1 Dynamic Response Protection

The Tacks 920 features CCM’s advanced 3-in-1 R3Flex liner, providing adaptable, high-performance protection for all impact types. It comfortably cushions small bumps while absorbing high-energy hits, maintaining an optimal compression zone that prevents the foams from bottoming out, a common flaw in traditional liners. CCM states the 920 delivers up to 14% better impact protection than the Tacks 910 too, providing confidence whether you're battling in the corners or taking serious contact in open ice. This liner also conforms around your head for a comfortable, secure feel, ensuring that protection never comes at the cost of comfort.

Forget about overheating during those long shifts or high-stakes overtime battles. The Tacks 920 is engineered with CCM’s AER-TEC system and a fully redesigned shell, allowing maximum air intake through larger front vents while directing heat out with strategically positioned rear and top exhaust vents. Inside, the Nest Tech liner with its 3D lattice structure works with these channels to create continuous airflow around your head, reducing heat and sweat buildup. Players immediately notice the difference, feeling fresher between shifts and more focused when the game’s on the line.

Finding the perfect fit is easy with CCM’s AdaptFit 360 rear adjustment system, which offers a 20% larger fit range compared to previous Tacks helmets. The system adapts to various head shapes, providing a forgiving yet secure fit that eliminates pressure points while without ever sacrificing comfort. Whether you're racing chasing down the puck on a rush or grinding along the boards, the AdaptFit 360 ensures your helmet stays locked in place, so you can focus on your game.

Cage Combo, Colors, and Accessories

The Tacks 920 is available in two options: Helmet Only for players who want to pair it with their own visor, cage, or hybrid shield setup and Caged Combo with FM580 Cage, which is game-ready option with full face protection. The FM580 cage offers optimized bars for improved visibility and a dual-density floating chin cup for added comfort and sweat management.

The 920 Caged Combo is available in black, white, and silver while the helmet-only version is available in a handful of colors to match your team or personal preference. The Tacks 920 fits most certified cages, visors, full shields, and hybrid setups, allowing you to use the face protection you already own.

To keep your helmet fresh season after season, CCM offers 920-specific replacement headbands, sold in packs of two for easy swaps. For players wanting to add a personalized touch, a 920-specific Helmet Logo Kit is available in six different colors, ensuring your helmet looks as good as it performs.
