ITECH NHL 4000 Senior Minnesota

Pros: lightweight, strong, looks great
Cons: costs a bit more than a plain one

I picked one of these up afew months ago after my old helmet cracked on a good slapshot. I haven't been so happy with a helmet ever.

These fit like a glove. Easy to slide on, easy to slide off. Very lightweight compared to the older (8 yr old) helmet I had before, plus it looks hot. I've taken afew pucks already to the forehead area, as well as acouple to the mask. Nice and sturdy.

I'm a huge Wild fan and I always said I wouldn't buy any Wild-related stuff for playing gear, but this just looked good in the store. I saw it and it called me like a siren calling the old mariners. I picked it up and felt how sturdy it was. Before, I had only seen roller hockey-type masks painted with the Wild logo. It was nice to see an ice hockey helmet painted up just as nice.
