gives him a headache
Pros: Quality
Cons: fit
My son plays hockey at the PeeWee level and I recently purchased a Bauer 9900 helmet for him specifically because I believed that the investment in protecting his head was well worth the extra money. My son also tried on the M11 helmet and wore it and the Bauer for a few minutes at the store, but ultimately chose the Bauer. Fine, I said, Bauer is a quality brand.
The first time he wore the helmet, he left the ice with a headache because he said that the helmet was putting pressure on his temples on both sides. I initially thought that the helmet just needed some time to “break the helmet in” or that maybe the cage was squeezing the temples of the helmet too tight.
In an effort to relieve the temple pressure, I ordered a new cage for the helmet. When this didn’t help, I ordered a new combination shield. Neither of these attempts helped at all, and my son consistently had a headache whenever he wore the “top-of-the-line” helmet.
In the meantime, I had several discussions with other hockey parents and was surprised to learn that several other players who owned Bauer 9900 helmets were having exactly the same problem! Pressure at the temple from the 9900. As recently as yesterday and overheard another parent complaining that the 9900 was hurting her son at the temples! This is not an isolated problem.
When I took the helmet back to the store where I purchased it to find out whether they had any suggestions about how to alleviate the problem, they told me that this is a common complaint with this helmet, but that they couldn’t do anything about it. If I had known that fit was a problem, I wouldn’t have purchased the helmet! Now I have a worthless helmet and have had to purchase an M11 to replace it.

Good helmet
Pros: cage oval bar design
Cons: Expensive
It's a good helmet but nearly $200 give me a break. It's only a helmet. I would NOT recommend this helmet because of the price. It's just not worth 190. If it reduced head injuries, or was the lightest helmet on the market then maybe but it's not. Minus the price it's a good helmet.
I do love the cage. The oval bar design works.

Best Helmet on the Market
Pros: Quality, Features, lightweight
Cons: Expensive, rear adjustment
Awesome helmet. Top of the line protection, comfort and technologies make this helmet a no-brainer. Helmet is so light and cage allows good lines of sight. Aero-technology allows for air to flow through helmet, keeping your dome cooler. The rear adjustment is nice , but, needs to be looked at as adjustment pieces do not lock into place. Really though $200? Come on Bauer....

Excellent
Pros: Helped improve my game, Quality, Easy to use, Features
Cons: Expensive
I've had this helmet for a couple of weeks and what made me really buy it was the cage. We have to wear cages in this new league I'm in and I've always been a visor guy. The cage on the helmet is amazing, it's barely even noticeable and the visibility is great. You can tell they spent a lot of time making a strong yet extremely visible cage. Other cages don't even compare to this, they are pathetic and terrible. The helmet is also light and very comfortable, easy to adjust to. Just over time playing a game with this my forehead starts to hurt a little bit but nothing like all the other pour foam helmets I've had before. The memory foam works great on this and breathes pretty well.
The only thing I didn't like about buying this was the price but to me it was worth it, the other ones were to noticeable with the cage.
