  • i have a 9900 and it really hurts my head. Do you know if the RE-AKT helmet will be a wider fit?

  • @iiExiiLeD It will have a similar fit, but the Reebok helmets fit wider.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • Would a change from my Nike Bauer 5500 to a 9900 be a big change? Is the fitting different? Which helmet has the best protection?

  • @BruinsCupChampions It wouldn't be a huge change and I think a definite improvement. The 9900 will offer the best protection.

    Casey at IW Hockey

  • This is the best helmet I have ever owned. I upgraded from an Easton and never go back. Obviously with fitting hockey equipment its all a matter of personal preference; however if you enjoy Bauer Helmets or you are in the market for a top notch helmet, This one is the way to go.

  • Is this the best helmet for a defenseman (shots to head) or should i wait for the reakt

  • HI which helmet would you recommend for the best visability through the Cage from the Bauer 9900, the Reebok 11k and the CCM V10. Also which is the best for comfort and protection.

  • @danny99jl It's definitely between the 9900 and the 11K. I would say the 9900 is a bit better because of the lighter cage coloring.

  • I've been looking for a pair of white ear loops for the Reebok 8k and Bauer 9900. Do you ship them to Canada? Also would I need to buy 2 chin straps also or does it come with it?

  • @FlexThatStick Can't ship the Bauer ear loops to Canada, but there are a couple options on the site that we can ship to Canada. Depending on which ear loops you get, you might need to get a chin strap as well.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • @icehockeywarehouse Can you ship the Reebok ones?

  • @FlexThatStick I don't know for sure, but if you put them in your cart and enter your shipping info, the site will tell you if it's a restricted item.

  • Hi,

    I play roller hockey in Spain, and here goalkeepers are using regular ice hockey player helmets.

    Now I'm using CCM 1092 helmet but I want to change it for a new one... What is your recomendation?

    Please take a look at "ok liga" videos on youtube to get a picture what we are doing.

    (I know you're gona say we are crazy... but It worked for 20 years with this kind of helmets for all of us).

    Thank you in advance.

  • @ericmelvin10 I really can't give you a good recommendation as none of the helmets are intended for that use. That being said, the top of the line helmets, like the 9900, will offer the best protection.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • @icehockeywarehouse Thank you Erik, I really apreciate your advice!

  • 9900 or m11

    

  • @stud507 Personally I'd go with the 9900

    Casey at IW Hockey

  • are there any differences between the 2010 and 2011 models? will you guys been getting the white/black color scheme in medium any time soon?

  • @ggcko There's no difference, the model just carried over. It looks like we have the Large in stock and the XL coming in soon. The Small is currently out, but we can order it from Bauer. The medium is out until mid-January.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • I got a concussion recently and wanted to get a helmet with more protection. I like the overall look of the Bauer 9900 and it seems like it has pretty good protection. Is there a big difference between the Cascade M11 and the 9900? Thanks

  • @TheDapantz Between those two I'd go with the 9900. The biggest difference between the two is the fit and the materials used in the foam liners.

    Casey at IW Hockey

  • which helmat do u guys perfer the 9900 or te s19 z shock

  • @cmathockey I like the S19 a little more, but both are really great helmets. The one that fits the best will protect the best.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • im not to sure if im the only one with this problem but i've tried ways to fix it and it won't work. i got the 9900 last season, and every time i wear it, about an half and hour in the sides of my head were the temple padding is in the helmet starts to hurt. can you please tell me a way to fix if you know? it would help out so much!

  • @delightedpantz I don't know of a way to fix that. You could try expanding the helmet a bit to get a little more room, but that probably won't help the width.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • @grillmasterweber Sounds a lot like the 5100. I know they have their hexfoam between the shell and other layers of padding.

  • @OutcastFalcon89 yeah i think it is the 5100. i had never seen that helmet before until i saw it in the pro shop at my rink while i was getting my APX skates haha.

  • I have a 9500, 9900 and 8k. Which earloops would fit on each helmet?

  • @FlexThatStick Earloops are somewhat universal but we have the replacements on our site.

    Casey at IW Hockey

  • @icehockeywarehouse So each type of earloop with fit on each helmet?

  • @FlexThatStick No just go to our website and you can see the different ear loops and it says which helmets they fit on.

    Tyson at IW Hockey

  • @icehockeywarehouse Ok thank you.

  • The limited gear locally in my area prevents me from trying on a 9900. I have put on the 7500 in a large. How close is the fit between the two? I'm on the small end of the large size . Thank you.

  • @493Jester The fit will be very similar. You be on the larger size of a medium.

  • @icehockeywarehouse when will Bauer be coming out with a new helmet???

  • @RegnujNitsua Probably next spring, but not sure.

    Tyson at IW Hockey

  • @RegnujNitsua im watching the lightning game vs Washington game right now (TAMPA FOR LIFE!!!) and i noticed ovechkin is wearing a different helmet. It looks like the 9900 but if you look closely, the bauer logo on the front it just a stamp on it instead of that rubbery sticker thing and also it looks like a hexigonal pattern in the little slits to see inside the helmet like its using something the m11 uses instead of foam. maybe thats the new helmet...?

  • @grillmasterweber Based on the pictures that I could find, it appears as though he is wearing the 9900, but there is definitely a chance he was wearing something else.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • @grillmasterweber it could just be a custom.. pros get everything they want

  • @Zaidr0n Exactly. They usually model them after a product in their line, but the pros will pretty much get any custom feature they want.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • which is the most protective since my concussion i decided im getting the best helmet i can find reebok 11k reebok 8k ccm v10 or v08 easton s19 bauer 9900 7500 or 9500

  • @998uzi All of them are really good, but the one that fits you the best will offer the best protection. If possible, try on several different brands to see what works.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • @icehockeywarehouse thx for the advice i went with the 11k with a 7500 cage i really liked the s19 but it just didnt fit right so for me it was the 11k

  • which is better this or the Easton s19 Z-Shock

  • @6hockey8 About the same level of protection. I personally prefer the S19 because of how light it is.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • 9900 or 11k... Your personal prefrence

  • @35Blackout 9900 mainly because it fits my head better. The 11K looks awesome too though.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • I read another review that this helmet suffered from poor quality control in China and that the new pads inside came loose due to poor glue jobs. Have you noticed any problems with this?

  • @MachoMadness I have heard some rumors of that, but seems like if there was an issues it was been corrected.

    Tyson at IW Hockey

  • Comment removed

  • And which cage is better ?

  • @jasondunbar8 Personal preference, but I prefer the 9900 cage.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • @icewarehouse: how do they differ in weight?

  • @jasondunbar8 I don't have the exact weight, but the 11K is lighter.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • How does it compare to the 11k, both with a cage?

  • @jasondunbar8 Personal preference, it really depends on your head. The Reebok has a wider fit.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • I just got hit in the hard not that hard today at camp and I have a bruise on my jaw and I think I have a concussion too because of my 8k and I've been dizzy the whole day and having headaches and a swore jaw. I really don't want this to happen again and go threw the same pain again. Would this helmet work? It's be twine the 9900, S19 and M11

  • @FlexThatStick Personal preference I would probably go with the 9900.

    Tyson at IW Hockey

  • @icehockeywarehouse Ok thank you.

    Quick question what's more protective the S19 or 9900?

  • @FlexThatStick Both are top of the line helmets and protect really well. I would personally go with the 9900 helmet.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • @icehockeywarehouse Ok thank you very much

  • I have had this helmet for maybe a month and i really like it a lot upgraded from a 4500 playing at a higher level now but the foam on the side really pushes at my head after a while in my game or practice. Is there a way to fix this but also since ive been wearing it, it seems like its fitting better. Does it just need to be broken in ? or can i make it a little wider. other than that i really love this helmet. saved me from a concussion too!

  • @grillmasterweber The padding in certain areas is triple density and the temple area is really thick as well. Those foams will definitely fit better after a few more uses.

    Matt at IW Hockey

  • I had an 8k last year, and got my 9900 last week, feels a little lighter(may just be the balance thanks to the fit).

  • I think the helmet is nice but I'm not really hooked on it to get it. I don't like the look of it from profile view.

  • Comment removed

  • @FlexThatStick Yes I have one and like it.

    Tyson at IW Hockey

  • Comment removed

  • @FlexThatStick I dont know exact weights but it fits me better than the 8K, everyones head is different though.

    Tyson at IW Hockey

  • Comment removed

  • Kk I really need to know cause I wanna buy this this month how much does it cost without a cage

  • @whoraaaaahhh We sell it for 149.99 without cage. Free shipping too.

    Matt at IW Hockey

  • Thank you Matt!

  • (using both with a cage)

  • How does the 9900 compare to the CCM V10?

  • @jasondunbar8 They are both great helmets- awesome ventilation, comfortable, and light. But with a cage I would recommend the 9900. I think the 9900 cage is way better than the V10 cage.

    Matt at IW Hockey

  • @icehockeywarehouse is Bauer coming out with a new helmet this season?

  • @RegnujNitsua Not this fall. Spring 2012 at the earliest we would have a new helmet. Haven't heard anything yet though.

    Matt at IW Hockey

  • would u reccomend this or the s19 z-shock

  • @swaggeneral17 Whatever fits you best. I prefer the fit of the 9900.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • @swaggeneral17 The Z shock is lighter. I would get the helmet that feels best on your head. Both are very protective. I've heard many people say a cage on the Z-Shock feels very heavy and unbalanced. Something to consider if you're rocking a combo.

    Matt at IW Hockey

  • Tyson, I need help picking which Helmet to get, I'm going into my first year of Midget, and trying out for a High School team; should I get the 9900 or the M11

    I need a very good argument, please help!!!

  • @hawksdefence12 my helmet atm is the 9500

  • @hawksdefence12 Get whatever fits your head the best as that is going to give the best protection. I prefer the fit of the 9900.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • Where should the back of the helmet lie on

  • @insanation100 Should lie comfortably under the curve of the back of your head. Covering the area where your spine connects to your skull.

    Matt at IW Hockey

  • Would you say this is a big helmet, like bulky?

  • @SPIDER4362 I would say moderate.

    Tyson at IW Hockey

  • @BauerSniper97 Looks like they are out right now but we are expecting them in beginning of july. They are under the title "Bauer Hockey Helmet Ear Loops (9900/9500/7500).

    Tyson at IW Hockey

  • How does the 9900 compare to the rbk 11k? Also in View of weight.

  • @jasondunbar8 Both are great top of the line helmets, it would come down to personal preference. The 11K is probably a little lighter, but the 9900 has a fit that a lot of people prefer.

    Erik at iW Hockey

  • do you know where to buy the bauer 9900 helmet in plain maroon without grey in it

  • @tljamesfan Looks like Bauer just makes the maroon with the gray.

    Tyson at IW Hockey

  • ok, so the 4500 is comfortable.i have one and it 's very comfortable.but i need a new helmet,is the 9900 uncomfortable? other than the 4500, which bauer helmet is the most comfortable?

  • @wudd2 I think the 9900 is pretty comfortable much better fit than the 9500. I also like the 7500 helmet.

    Tyson at IW Hockey

  • so y do all my friends like the 4500 better wat r the big differences

  • @998uzi The 4500 is a more basic helmet, but a lot of people prefer it because it is pretty comfortable. In fact, there are several NHL players that are still using the 4500 helmet.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • What would be better? A Bauer 7500, Bauer 9500 Reebok 8k or 6k 

  • @HockeyWebCaster91 Personal preference. I would probably go with the 9900 Helmet.

    Tyson at IW Hockey

  • they need to go back to designs like the 4500

  • Hey. i was thinking about getting either the cascade m11 helmet or the baeur 9900 helmet. i play lacrosse and i own the cascade pro7 which shares the same technology as the m11 so i know that it is tried and true. i hear that the cage on the m11 impares vision and is not up to par with the other cages. does anyone know if the baeur 9900 cage fits on the cascade m11 because i will get that cage if it does. plz respond asap cuz i need a new helmet soon. thanks.

  • @0wn4g33 yea you should able to put a Bauer cage on cascade helmet.

    Tyson at IW Hockey

  • @icehockeywarehouse thanks. im gana get the m11 then the bauer cage.

    i cant believe i spelled bauer wrong so many times : (

  • @0wn4g33 all good.

  • @californiahockey99 9900 is definitely an awesome helmet, but for the price the 4500 is a great buy.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • icehockeywarehouse is 10000000000000x better then HockeyUsDotCom!

  • I like the Reebok 8k better.

    What do you think?

  • @FlexThatStick Personal preference. I like the 9900 a bit more, but if you have a wider head, the Reebok may fit better. Fit is the most important aspect with something like a helmet.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • @icehockeywarehouse Alright but the reason manly why I like the 8k better it look's epic and it has more air holes for more ventilation

  • @FlexThatStick Exactly what I mean by personal preference.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • Thank you for your help.

  • Okay so, I ordered this exact helmet from HockeyMonkey same colors and everything but I live in Canada and they don't ship here, Do you guys ship Bauer to Canada, please answer soon, I'm getting this helmet for Christmas and I'm running out of places to go.

  • @YouDarnDirtyApe26 Unfortunately Bauer doesn't allow US retailers to ship outside of the US. If you happen to know someone in the US, we could ship to them and have them forward it to you. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we must abide by these regulations.

    Erik

  • @YouDarnDirtyApe26 Not true, I tried to do this and IW won't let you have the shipping address be different from the billing address, which is really kinda stupid o.O

  • @CradleCath True. If it is a first time order, we do not ship to a different address. This is to protect cardholders and ourselves from potential fraud. You can always use PayPal and have the package shipped to a different address.

    Erik at IW Hockey

  • @icehockeywarehouse Hmm so if I order something that does allow international shipping for my first order, and then later order something like Bauer in my next order, would I be able to get that second order shipped to a different address? Without Paypal I mean. Let me know, thanks!

  • Why doesn't the Bauer allow it, this sucks, the deals on your equipment are half the price of what I have to pay here in Canada

  • @kaid6 We feel the same way! Maybe check out third party shipping companies.

    Tyson at IW Hockey

  • @kaid6 It is half the price but by the time you've paid for shipping to Canada you will end up paying the same amount as buying it here in Canada or even more.

  • Bauer has done a great job with this helmet.

    Sick look on the outside, great comfort on inside, and great protection inside and outside.

    Definetly buy this helmet!!

    Bauer 9900

  • I love the helmet!! Buy it, It wont let you down // SWE

  • this is by far the best helmet ive ever owned. i was trying to decide between this and the easton s19. the s19 didnt seem to fit me as well so i went with the 9900

  • I had the 9500 and it seemed to sit on my head instead of forming to my head

    Is this a better more full fit to the head instead of on the head?

  • @Tbladez56 Yes, Bauer has improved the fit on the 9900 helmet.

    Erik

  • i have this helmet and i love it. at first the foam digs into ur tempale but eventually it kinda molds to your head and its so compfy

  • what protects better? the Bauer 9900 or the cascade M11?

  • im going to be buying anew helmet should i get this or the rbk 8k?

  • @ThaGodFatha826 Get the 8k, you'l like it alot I dont think the extra money isnt really worth it, 8k is also a little more comfortable too but if you dont like the 8k try the 6k people who dont like the comfort in the 8k go to the 6k.

  • @comradecommedy ight thanks i was thinkin of goin 8k too if i got the 9900 i was going to get the ccm fm480 cage anyway should i still buy that for the rbk helmet

  • @ThaGodFatha826 Just get the 5k cage, their the samething as fm480 just that the 5k is silver which I prefer myself.

  • @IIExiiLedII I prefer the Bauer 9900 myself. Bauer helmets usually fit me the best. I would make your decision primarily on fit because if a helmet doesn't fit properly, it won't protect properly.

  • is this the newest one???

  • @jacob12721 Yes, this is Bauer's current top of the line helmet.

  • Erik or Tyson,

    what is the difference between the Bauer 9900 and the Nike Bauer 9500?

  • @xcrossxfadex The biggest difference is that Bauer redesigned the fit, which was one of the biggest complaints about the 9500 helmet. Bauer also enhanced the foams being used on the helmet.

    Erik

  • price?

  • I want this helmet

  • i have this helmet and so far so good, i had the 9500 and suffered a concussion in a tournament and got this on the return.... so much nicer!

  • best helmet ive ever had.  BY FAR

  • price?

  • @pitbullman1995 This helmet is currently $189.99 with a cage and $149.99 without a cage. For up to date pricing and availability, check out our site.

  • Tyson,

    Im thinking about what helmet i should get next, but i heard that Warrior is going to be making a helmet, if not which helmet would you reccomend with a semi-wide fit?

  • @cup250p00nyou I have not heard anything at this point, but that could happen because of the cross over from the lacrosse market. Reebok and CCM helmets generally fit a bit wider than the rest.

    Erik

  • Hi Tyson. Thanks for all the insight.

    I have an eleven year old first year pee wee, who presentlt wears the 8500.

    First im curious as to why the pro's wear such less protective helmets than this one, and in your opinion, out of ALL the helmets made, what is going to be the most preventative regarding concussions?

    Thanks.

  • @goinggoingcaught Most of the time the pros will wear what feels the most comfortable for them, not always using the most protective. The most preventative helmet on the market, in regards to concussions is the Cascade M11 helmet.

    Erik

  • Should i buy the bauer 9900 or the easton s19?

    i think the weight of the easton is something why i would buy the s19

    but the bauer has the proved two piece construction and looks more comfortable.

  • @AdlerMannheim07 That is going to be personal preference. Some helmets fit certain peoples heads better than others. If the S19 fits you right maybe go with that. The 9900 does offer more adjustability than the S19 so if it is not that perfect fit you can adjust it a bit.

  • should i get this or the reebok 8k??

  • should i get this helmet or the reebok 8k?

    

  • hurt the helmet in the start like 5100 ?

  • @vedde007 I am not sure what you are asking. Could you possibly rephrase the question?

    Erik

  • does this fit the same as the 7500?

  • @THEPORNGURUdotCOM No slightly different fit. The 7500 is using the same fit as the 5500 helmet.

    Tyson

  • @Stephens14AK Possible, yes...realistically, not a chance. But you should be protected from getting concussions.

    Tyson

  • so is the fit the same of the 9500 cause this helmet wasnt comfortabe for my head!

  • @maxiking68163 The fit of the 9900 is different than the 9500 they have made some nice improvements.

  • @maxiking68163 hey the same thing happend with me the 9500 fitted akward but i tried the 9900 on at Pro Hockey Life , fit like an 8500 , I bought it!

  • i have the 9500 helmet and its pretty uncomfertable,but its a great helmet if your looking for protection.

  • same

  • i was expecting a little more from bauer but its ok
