Shame ccm won’t make v08’s anymore at retail. Best helmet ever made. I have a bunch but already the foam in some have started to get a bit stiff.

I have a couple Resistance helmets. I love them. I hear the Tacks foam is really good.

I like the helmet itself- it’s really comfortable (PX2 anyway). But there are very few players that can actually pull it off.

Agree- seems like the 3 tiers now are:

1. Pro/VN option ala 4500 and the entry level Tacks bucket.

2. Streamlined helmet with sufficient protection that’s widely used in the show - Reakt/Reakt 100/Tacks 710 and 310

3. NASA moon gear ala Reakt 200/CCM Fitlite


Agreed. I hate the Reakt 200 and the FL500. I really like my V08. Never feel Unsafe in it and it’s vwry comfy. But I’m all honesty a helmet is a helmet. As long as it fits it will protect you.

The helmets are getting too much IMO. If you want to spend 350$ on a bucket, sure do it. You don’t have to. A really good bucket from a couple years ago is still a good investment.

No bucket beats v08 in my opinion. There’s zero reason to spend that kind of money on a helmet anyways, they don’t prevent concussions at a higher price point lol

The CSA certification on helmets last how long again? 10 years? Is whatever expiry on them because the foams and/or plastic break down significantly during that time?

Custom everything.

Probably part of it but I'm sure its also a money thing. They put it on there so that you think you need to buy a new helmet. I'm sure the CSA is in the pockets on the manufacturers on that

HECC in US will expire after 5 years I think.

CSA in Canada doesn't expire and valid until the helmet isn't safe for usage anymore.

Not sure if this has been mentioned --- looks like some players are wearing a new Bauer glove -- possibly a 2X?  Looked like Ghost and Nick Foligno were wearing them in today's game and I've seen Mario Kempe from Coyotes and some others wearing them too.

At least they got rid of the jewel. The placement of the jewel was weird from time to time

I like them. It’s too bad Bauer gloves are only cool for 3 months and then they come out with something new.
