Question

i am trying to get a new hockey helmet. i am thinking about the nike bauer 8500. is that i good helmet? or want other helmets good i get that have a lot of protection? for a low price? where could i get this helmet?

Answer 1

Well, you could check online merchants, such as:

http://www.hockeygiant.com/
http://www.hockeyworld.com/
http://www.hockeymonkey.com/

Or, you could search for one on eBay.

However, the Bauer 8500 is an expensive hat. I wear the Bauer 5500 (it was the Bauer 5000) and it has great gel-padding on the inside and an adjustable fit. It's fantastic! The last time I checked, the 8500 was something like $95, but that was 3 years ago. It may be more today because of inflation. In any way, I would highly recommend the 5500 because of the high quality of the dome itself and the 60-ish dollar price tag. It's worth the money (I have two!)

Answer 2

If you're going to buy a helmet over the internet, make sure you go and try it on in a shop first.

There are a lot of good helmets out there, but you need to see what fits most comfortably first. CCM lids tend to be wide and shallow while Bauer ones (4000 and 5000) are narrower. Of course, all helmets are adjustable but some will feel better than others depending on the shape of your noggin.

Good luck.

Answer 3

listen to me GET AN ICE HOCKEY HELMET YOU WILL GET HURT IF YOU USE A STREET HOCKEY HELMET. An ice hockey helmet has a lot more protection and a street hockey helmet won't do crap. And no offence you'll look dum with a street hockey helmet on the ice

Answer 4

You should get those rbk 8500 helmets, from goaliemonkey.com, always low prices.
