New Bauer Helmets

Bauer was busy at the Bauer Hockey World Experience this year introducing not only the APX2 Skates but a new Helmet line in which it partners with it's newest company Cascade.
The Following Statement is what Bauer Hockey released:


The BAUER IMS 11.0, IMS 9.0 and IMS 7.0 were unveiled and are the culmination of combined technologies from Bauer Hockey and Cascade Sports. The IMS 11.0 and IMS 7.0 feature Seven Technology and are designed to more effectively manage high and low direct energy transfers. The BAUER IMS 11.0 also features PORON® XRD™ for additional impact management and enhanced comfort. The IMS 9.0 features Vertex and PORON XRD for greater protection against linear energy impacts and uses the same shell as the BAUER RE-AKT for consumers that prefer a lower profile look with more aggressive styling.

Bauer has released their Re Akt helmet which many people love so is this another reason to switch Helmets?

In my opinion "NO" Bauer has taken the technology from the Re Akt and put it into a Cascade "Style" Helmet but if we receive any new information on these helmets we will let you know!

So will you be switching an old Bucket for a New IMS Bucket?
Will you keep your Re Akt or change to an IMS Helmet?
