The only reason to wear a hockey helmet is to keep a player safe. Ever since hockey helmets have been required at the professional level, the thought dominating top hockey players' minds has been to wear a helmet that is light and doesn't weigh them down. However, the game is a fast and dangerous and manufacturers have to provide the safest helmets possible.
Reebok 8K Hockey Helmet
This may be the ideal helmet for the hockey player who is looking for the lightest helmet with maximum protection. The Reebok 8K has a composite subshell that provides protection to the head and skull. Each helmet has a microdial that allows the wearer or the team trainer to adjust the helmet's fit to fit each wearer. It also includes a cage that protects the hockey player's eyes and face from errant stick swinging by opponents. The price as of June 2010 is $159.99.
Easton Stealth S17
The Easton Stealth features a light and strong construction that will protect the user from collisions, falls and the puck. The helmet can be adjusted to each individual and that allows a snug yet comfortable fit that will give the wearer security that he won't suffer a significant injury while wearing it. The mask on the front of the helmet is made of strong carbon steel. The price as of June 2010 is $149.99.
Bauer 9900 Hockey Helmet
The Bauer 9900 has a biomechanical shell that offers the wearer maximum protection and will offer added security to the back of the skull to the wearer who absorbs a full body check and is sent careening backward to the ice. The face mask has an oval wire construction that allows for improved visual acuity while still offering protection to the eyes. The price as of June 2010 is $149.99.
