older but My son and I both use ReAKT 75's top marks from Virginia Tech concussion testing/rankings. $50 on clearance at most places that you can find them as it is an older style. Comfort, safety, style with the color insert vent options, great value.
If people would pay more attention to the Virginia Tech rankings, not only would they be better protected but they'd also save a ton of money. The reality is, though, style and fit are more important to most than protection. Though, the Hyperlite 2 (#18) does rank higher than the Re-Akt 100 (#25) ... whereas the Re-Akt 75 is #4 and the Re-Akt 200 is #2. For Bauer, price to protection, the clear winner is the 75.
Reakt 200 user here. I must admit that it is on a bulkier side with all the padding. I think thermoformable occipital insert is a great idea, helmet feels really locked in on the head. Its a shame they went away from it in newer helmets. Sadly Bauer went all marketing these days and most of their protective, even high end feels expendable and lower quality compared to CCM.
If you call that getting drilled then that’s pretty laughable. He put his shoulder into your chest and you flopped holding your head. That was a little bump, could only imagine what you would do from taking a real hit. You wanna be the 100 goal guy then be prepared to piss people off, especially when you’re playing below your skill level.
Just heads up I have a chronic illness that affects my neck, and regardless if it’s a “sissy hit” it’s still after the play, illegal, and uncalled for. No hit is “laughable” in beer league. There is no hitting
After trying their other hyperlite protective line, there's no way I'd trust their helmet on my head. FWIW, I did smack the shit out of the back of my head using the Reakt 150. I thought I'd die due to the impact, but surprisingly, I didn't feel a thing. I did have a similar issue on the temples in terms of fit for my round head, and so I moved on to the more comfortable Tacks 910, which hopefully I'll never have to test because those fluid pods seem a little sketchy.
yeah the mental health of a lot of hockey players is terrible. lot of it due to head injury, lot of it due to old time hockey players growing up in abusive boomer homes
Damn dude, I didn’t realize that was you at first! Number 2 plays like his boss is mean to him. lol Glad you’re okay! Good video about a helmet I have no intention of buying. lol
Right? Guys an idiot. He plays like that all the time I’ve never seen the guy smile just pissed off at world so this isn’t out of ordinary guy hates his wife and takes it out at hockey or something
the best helmet ive ever iused was the cascade m1. bauer bought the tech and implemented it for one season. it was the best helmet and so protective.. i still use it and ive been rocked a few times and it has dispersed the impact so i barely feel a thing. its great
@@pi6466 according to those immature enough to think hockey in beer league requires drilling someone because feelings are hurt I guess it’s wierd to me too
That’s a shot? I passed it into the boards. Why are people thinking it’s ok to hit someone blind side because their feelings are hurt? Gotta work next day the boards do not
@@beerleaguebumhockeyreviews well… you hit the side of the net so.. no.. but you’re right it’s beer league no one should be giving a shit. But they think it’s “the code” and they’re big bois hahaha
@@SeanSennett yep majour issue in hockey culture. It isn’t the CHEL no need to be a hero for the stands no contract coming because you tough that’s for sure
I rock the re akt 85. I like that I can adjust it sides and top. I had the tacks 910 but it wasn’t very comfy for me. I do feel like the quality of the ccm stuff in general is far superior to Bauer recently, in every category of gear.
I still have 2 Bauer 4500s that are in great shape but upgraded to the re-akt 85 this spring as since I play beer league that's pretty much no contact I didn't see the need to break the bank.
I use the re akt 150 cause I have a bit of a history with concussions (even very unlucky ones) I got one not to long ago where I took a deflected puck right to the front of the helmet and got one. I heard the 150 was very good and I've worn it since 2018

It really does
It's #2 in the VT helmet protection ranking. So, you've got a good one!

I’m with you! The 150 was such an odd ball I think they over tried to improve the100 and failed miserably

It’s sad everyone playing with some chip on their shoulder and doing dumb crap like this when we all just out for a fun time
as a junior player who’s had multiple concussions, i second this HEAVILY

Still rocking the CCM V08!Love everything about this helmet. This is my 3rd one!
Once you find something it’s always better to stick with it!
best helmet out there!
@@kwaldo81 simple and protective. VN FOAM has lasted the test of time.
Just happy I can still find them new!
I just take a look at the number of player using the hyperlite 1&2helemt in the nhl, and no one are using them.
That doesn’t surprise me!
theres a special bauer helmet only given to nhlers and its skinned as the 150 but has blue mesh like the ccm supertacks X
Really that should be retail lol
