Bauer 5100 Hockey Helmet

This helmet literally saved my life. I've used it for playing beer league hockey, and it's been great. Recently, I reffed a 3 on 3 game for mites. While putting the pegs in the goal, a mob of the kids wiped out and slid into me, taking my legs out. My 6'2" frame fell horizontally backwards, hard, and I banged the back of my head on the ice. If not for this bucket, I would have had at least a concussion, maybe a fractured skull. I escaped with a touch of whiplash. It's a life saver. (And Milan Lucic wears one, so...)

I bought this a few years back to replace an old CCM that was falling a part. I tired on almost every helmet from ever manufacturer, and at every price point. The fit, finish, and comfort perfect and didn't come close to breaking the bank. I switched out the cage to an Oakley visor and hadn't looked back. I'm actually thinking of buying another one as a back up and before Bauer decides to stop making them. (Which I hope they don't do)

Love this helmet .. bought the bauer re-akt 2012 model thinking it would fit my head better. i was wrong.. i could fit in the large and medium helmet in both but i use a fish bowl and the re-akt medium would give me a headache just wearing it .. i bought this helment in 2010 and just bought a new one in 2014 pretty sweet deal.. fits bubble perfect..

Insanely comfortable, great product for the price. Even thru on bauer curve clear visor.

Very comfortable helmet. It's light, and the no-tool adjustment feature to customize the fit is nice. I used to wear Bauer 4500, and CCM helmets in the past, and this one fits slightly lower on my head, which I like. To note: if you remove the protective ear pieces, the helmet will fit larger.

Great helmet. It is very durable and protective.

My husband needed a helmet that didn't rub on his ears, and this one was the best fitting one that we tried. Looks good, protects even better!

Great looking helmet at an affordable price. Very comfortable and fits very true to size. Before this helmet I had the OLD Nike/Bauer 1500. Both helmets are medium in size. This helmet is much more comfortable and looks amazing with the clear Bauer HS22 pro straight cut visor. Bottom line GET IT. :-) Long Live Hockey!!!

Helmet fits low on the brow and is snug. I was used to a old school 3000 which fits like a 4500. That sits a little bit higher on the head. This engulfs my head rather then sits atop like a cap. My skull fits deep into the back. Not very light but I feel pretty safe. Helmet could have better ventilation. Inside pads move a little to help with the adjustment but it isn't a problem when on. I don't anticipate it being a problem with wear and tear. Tool free adjustment works great. Happy with my purchase.

great helmet i would advise does not wear quickly and i used to have a bauer 5000 but is a great step up from that and much more comfortable also has the great 9900 helmet design
