stanesq's Full Review: RBK 8K Hockey Helmet
First off, let me say this is a light helmet, there is no doubt about that and it does look good. Thats where the good news stops. I purchased this helmet for $170, which puts it right at the top of the food chain. In my opinion, this helmet is good for someone with an exceptionally wide head. The front to back fit was fine for me, but I found the helmet moving laterally. No amount of adjustment could get it right for me. I also took a couple of checks where my helmet contacted the boards. I felt a total transfer through the helmet and I got nice jolt. While it may have prevent concussions, I certainly felt more of the hit than I ever did in a CCM mid level helmet. This helmet is more hype than anything else in my opinion. Save your money, there are much better buys for the buck.
