Was given by a team years ago as a practice bucket. Used for about a year. Apparently my head got fatter, had to upsize to a Large. Shell is in immaculate condition (no cracks or spider cracks around screw holes), foam is still attached, just needs to be worked in a little. Fits all current model side-mount visors.
Finding good condition older white 4500s isn’t easy because people tend to hold on to them for the rounded fit vs the narrower fit of the newer ones.
Perfect helmet for:
Players who prioritize protection and appreciate a classic fit.

The Bauer 4500 is a classic workhorse that dates back 3 decades, spanning brand names like Cooper, Nike, and even Nike Bauer. It's not the flashiest option, but it gets the job done with solid impact protection. The dual-density foam liner shapes to the head and provides reliable comfort and protection for the long haul. This helmet is a great choice for the purist who appreciates the classics, and it’s still widely used in the NHL today.
