Cascade XRS Pro Helmet
The Cascade XRS Pro Helmet sits at the pinnacle of Cascade's lacrosse helmet offerings, designed to be the ultimate choice for professional and elite players seeking the most advanced protection and performance available.

Key features include:
| • | Gen4 EPP and NV3 Foam, Cascade’s top-of-the-line impact absorption combination. |
| • | The 360 fit system wraps comfortably and securely around your head, unlike some helmets that sit on top. |
| • | HardTail SPRfit with customizable jaw pads allows for micro-adjustments to achieve a personalized 360-degree secure and comfortable fit. |
| • | A revolutionary second VisionBar angled at 32 degrees, significantly enhancing downward visibility for ground ball plays. |

| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| This helmet feels really snug on my head and neck. Unlike the other XRS, I also really like the quick clip. The magnet only releases when pulled down. It's easy to put on with gloves. |
| This is by far the best yet. Not since the Pro 7 have I had a helmet that protected the back of my head. |
| I am using it as a goalie, and I have no complaints. It fits true to size, feels amazing, and looks great. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Wish they had a size between Youth and Adult. My son has just about outgrown his youth helmet, and this adult helmet says he should fit, but the adult is still too large. |
| Not necessarily for those who are just starting. It is a little difficult to adjust the straps yourself. |
| Pricey, especially if you customize it. |
If you're a serious player demanding top-of-the-line protection without feeling weighed down, the XRS Pro is a great helmet. It has the multi-layered Tri-Liner Plus system to absorb every check and shot, but it also feels ridiculously light. The SuperMono shell distributes weight evenly, so it practically disappears on your head. No more feeling like you're lugging around a brick during practice! The pro model features the BalancePoint Technology, which shifts the center of gravity for a balanced, secure fit that won't wobble around. It's an overall great helmet.
