CCM Tacks 710 Hockey Helmet Combo Review

Great helmet and great fit!

This helmet was the best fitting helmet I have ever tried on. I have a more oval head than round and this gives me no temple or forehead pressure. I would recommend it to everyone. I wanted to get a cheaper one but in the end, the fit is what made me go with this one. Plus, its your head, you might want to keep it safe.

Great helmet

I got a baur helmet with a basic kit that I got, I had the biggest pressure headache after getting hot and sweaty. I Laos had a lot of sweat running into my eyes etc. I spoke to a few guys and they recommended a ccm. Best thing ever. Apparently ccm is better for round heads and bait for oval heads. But the memory foam is great and there is nothing like playing with comfort.

Fantastic Helmet

I've been a Jofa and Reebok guy for a while, and recently wore the FitLite series of helmets. It was time for a replacement and I decided to put brand name aside and look at the best helmet I could get with a $200 budget. I tried on the Bauer IMS 5.0 and while I preferred the look of the Bauer, the CCM Tacks 710 fit like an absolute glove. The cage profile also seems to afford… read more better vision for me compared to cages I've used in the past (I miss my half shield, but after a rough high stick to the face I decided to go back to the cage for a while). The adjustment of the helmet is the easiest I have ever used - one switch on the back of the helmet to flip and adjust away, and clamp back down when finished. Finally, there is no sticky garbage inside the helmet like the Reebok/CCM Fitlite series - one warm day in the garage and all of the gel lining is sliding around inside the helmet and eventually sticking to your head during wear. Not so with this one. I highly recommend at least trying this helmet out - CCM got this right.
