I love how Virginia Tech’s safety rating has there top of the line helmet there promoting in this video last on there safety list 💀 She goes, “you should look at our higher priced items for the most advanced protection” ooooooooooookay 🤡
I think a bigger point in the beginning that is being glossed over is comfort. The entry level helmets are terribly uncomfortable. I wear lots of "elite" gear not because I'm playing Pro hockey... but because it's SO much more comfortable, and I want to enjoy being on the ice. The entry level helmet I had before gave me headaches pretty much every time I played, the helmet was super stiff on the inside and my head just literally wasn't shaped right for it. Upgraded to Tacks 910 and it's literally a world of difference.
Which rec-level helmet were you using because the older helmets used to be just single VN foam or EPP foam with a tiny bit of comfort padding. These new entry-level helmets are quite comfy with the dual-density VN liners. Chase at IW Hockey
@@ice.warehouse I believe it was the Bauer 5100, bought it last year. Literally rock hard inside. After a few weeks I knew I needed to replace it. I guess next time I'm in a city that has a pro shop, I'll have to try on a bunch of helmets just to see the difference!
I really like how CCM has consistent looking shells up and down the lineup. What makes the Tacks 70 recreational level and the 210 performance? Both seem to have dual density liners and hdpe shells.
Agreed and it would be the densities of the foam and shell thickness. The 70 is super plush for immediate comfort and rec-level protection, the 210 has higher-density foams for more appropriate performance-level protection! Chase at IW Hockey
Hey Chase i got the new CCM Tacks 70 Helmet and i will be using it next Wednesday for ice hockey and i really like the shell and the comfort inside of the Helmet any way Chase enjoy your day have a good one my friend Bill.
Hey Bill, the new Tacks 70 is such a comfortable helmet and I have a feeling you'll be a big fan of it on the ice! Hope all's well, cheers! Chase at IW Hockey
