Reebok 11K Helmet Review

Reebok 11K Helmet
http://www.hockeyprostore.com/

The Reebok 11K Helmet has a thinner profile than the previous model which was the Reebok 8K model. Reebok has done a lot of research about what needs to go into the helmet to make it more protective and they found out that 90% of the hits are low impact hits which could be just as harmful as the big impact hits. So what they did was use the EPP liner but they used a softer version of liner to absorb those low impact hits. They also made the liner a flexible liner so it’s not attached to the shell this will allow a closer fit to the head when the helmet is adjusted to offer better protection.  Also they added the comfort pads which they have used in the past. To improve the fit they have a Microdial II which has a 360⁰ strap that allows it to really pull the helmet together around your head so it will fit a lot of different head shapes. The Reebok 11K Helmet features tool less adjustment with side clips to allow you to expand or contract to fit your desired size. The Reebok 11K Helmet has removable ear pieces and ear loops. The ventilation on the Reebok 11K Helmet consists of vents on top and front and ports in the back to allow maximum airflow. Available in a helmet and cage combo it comes with the Reebok 11K cage. The Reebok 11K Cage features a flat wire design to improve visibility. The chin cup is a floating chin cup with a much thicker padding then before, real dense foam with a gel cushion and moisture channels to get the sweat out. You attach the Reebok 11K Cage to the helmet with clips and can it can be adjusted while clipped on to the helmet to really get the fit needed for maximum protection.

Bauer 7500 Helmet Review

Bauer 7500 Helmet
http://www.hockeyprostore.com/

The Bauer 7500 Helmet is the evolution of the Bauer 5500 Helmet. The Bauer 5500 Helmet has been one of the most popular helmets in Bauer’s line for many years, so when Bauer created the 7500 they didn’t want to take too much away from the 5500. Bauer explained it as they didn’t want a revolution of the 5500 they wanted an evolution. They kept the Bauer 7500 Helmet very similar with the same internal fit and same internal shape. Changed on the helmet was the overall modern appearance and improved was the tool less adjustment which was retooled for easier adjustment of the helmet after hearing that the 5500 was hard to adjust sizing. The EPP liner was replaced with the EPP ½ which means the beads are smaller and place more closely together which allows it to manage more of the impact allowing less energy to transfer through. Overall The Bauer 7500 Helmet has the same fit as the 5500 with better protection and styling.

http://www.hockeyprostore.com/

The Reebok 9K KFS Shoulder Pads offer a good level of mobility and great, advanced level of protection. The front portion of the Reebok 9K KFS Shoulder Pads is similar to some of the other Reebok pads with a two panel design. The front panel uses a couple of different materials for the sternum protection to increase that level of protection. The black portion of the sternum protection is made from a new material Reebok is introducing which will give a great level of protection as well as reduce the wear of the foams which will increase the lifespan of the pad. The back panel of the front portion consists of single density molded foams which gives you a good level of protection and also allows it to contour the body. It also features a removable belly guard and a full comfort neck opening. The top portion of the Reebok 9K KFS Shoulder Pads you have the clavicle guard which they still used that hinge design like some of the other models and added more denser foam which still gives you that great range of motion but increases the protection greatly. For the shoulder cap they are still using the JDP design which Reebok is well known for in their pads for having great impact dispersion. The shoulder cap covers a great portion of the front which will give you a great level of protection from front and side impact. Around back they added a large shoulder blade plastic insert which will give you a lot of protection to the back of the shoulder area. The Bicep guard is still adjustable but has thicker foams then some of the other pads. The back portion of the Reebok 9K KFS Shoulder Pads uses a triple segment back panel which will offer a little better mobility with a little better range of motion without sacrificing any of the protection. The kidney guard has some thicker foam that is nicely molded to increase that level of protection.

CCM U+ Fit 05 Shoulder Pads



The CCM U+ Fit 05 Shoulder Pads are a nice looking shoulder pad from CCM. It offers a good intermediate level of protection. With the CCM U+ Fit 05 Shoulder Pads your going to get enough protection for a little more physical contact that the with the CCM U+ Fit 03 Shoulder Pads but it's still going to have a light weight design. The front portion is a 3 panel design. Both the outer and inner panel consists of single density foams. For the sternum protection they used thicker foams as well as a plastic insert. The outer panel and inner panel are connected as one with the sternum protection sewed at the bottom and attached with nylon webbing instead of elastic at the top. This won’t offer quite as much maneuverability but will offer a little more protection and a little more maneuverability that the CCM U+ Fit 03 Shoulder Pads. The shoulder caps are different than the CCM U+ Fit 03 Shoulder Pads with a little more protection by adding thicker foams underneath the cap with more coverage on the front of the shoulder giving you a little more protection to those front impacts. The bicep guard has thicker foams as well as a plastic insert. It is connected to the shoulder cap with an elastic piece and attached to the body panel with an adjustable elastic piece. This will be limited to how far down it can go but will offer a little bit of adjustability to go with your elbow pads. The back portion of the CCM U+ Fit 05 Shoulder Pads is a single panel design with single density foams in the outer portion, single density foams in the rib wrap and down in the spine area they have some nice segments with thicker foams and thicker plastics for a little more protection. The liner they used is a standard traditional nylon liner which will offer a nice traditional fit. Overall a nice solid shoulder pad from CCM.
