I've only worn this helmet for a couple of games, but so far it's fantastic. I really enjoy the extra protection and haven't felt a huge difference in weight or when running with the helmet. The main thing I'm getting used to is working with the helmet when I'm taking line-up changes or notes. The ventilation is excellent and I don't feel a huge temperature difference. It's also a great conversation starter with catchers. I'd also like to applaud Ump Attire's customer service. There was a very small issue with my order and they were quick to address my inquiry after some research. The communication was excellent and the resolution took just a couple of days.

First hockey style helmet I've purchased. I've only used it for a small amount of time but am very happy with it. The hits were absorbed like nothing. The matte black helps with glare if not wearing glasses. Weight may have to get use to it, the transition wasn't so bad since I own a Force3 defender mask. Looking forward to season and seeing how mask preforms during HS/travel/RBI/showcase tourneys and all other leagues. Stay tuned.

I have a big head and heard that this helmet was heavier than most, so I was a little apprehensive but decided to go for it anyway. With the adjustable padding and straps, this helmet is great for people with larger heads like mine (to make my big brain calls lol.) It does conform closer to the head/face than previous helmets I've had; which is going to be difficult if you have glasses that aren't close to your face. The helmet is noticeably heavier than others, but it is very well-balanced and I didn't notice much added stress to the neck the way you might expect. How does it perform, though, I hear you asking... Perfectly! In the first two weeks of the fall ball season, I took two shots off the helmet and didn't flinch. My last helmet would have been fine protection, but I would have felt it. With this, it was as if someone threw a tennis ball at me and not all that hard. Not perfect by any means, but the best helmet I have ever tried. I would definitely buy it again.
