###  Product Description:

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. A key feature is the innovative Tri-Liner System, which incorporates three distinct layers of liner technology. This multi-layered approach aims to effectively manage a wide range of impacts, from high-powered checks to glancing blows, for maximum player safety. The XRS Pro also boasts the Pro Vision mask with an angled second vision bar, designed to maximize a player's downward visibility for superior ground ball tracking and overall situational awareness on the field. Cascade equips the XRS Pro with these cutting-edge features to prioritize player safety and performance, aligning with their commitment to being a leader in lacrosse equipment innovation.

serious players who demand the absolute best in protection, comfort, and visual clarity


### 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.

### Top competitors comparison: the [Warrior Burn](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/warrior/burn-14/l12316) and the [STX Rival](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/stx/rival-5/l7661) 

The Cascade XRS Pro lacrosse Helmet stands out for its focus on elite protection and customizable fit. It boasts Cascade’s top-of-the-line impact absorption with Gen4 EPP and NV3 foam. The Warrior Burn Lacrosse Helmet prioritizes protection similar to the XRS Pro, featuring a multi-impact-absorbing shell and a comfortable liner. The STX Rival Lacrosse Helmet is a strong contender for players seeking a balance between affordability and features. 


### Progression:

The XRS Pro builds upon the foundation of the pre-XRS models like the Cascade XRS and the Cascade S while offering advancements in liner technology, vision enhancement, comfort, fit, and weight reduction.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* This helmet is perfect and super comfortable. It feels really snug on my head and neck. I also really like the quick clip, unlike the other xrs. The magnet only releases when pulled down. Easy to put on with gloves.
* I have had most Cascade helmets and 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. Fits true to size, feels amazing, and looks great.

CONS: 



* Love the Cascade helmets, but wish they had a size in 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.
* Considering the price it is better if you are pursuing higher levels and not necessarily for those who are just starting. It is a little difficult to adjust the straps yourself so I would recommend having someone like a coach, teammate, friend, etc help
* Pricey, especially if you customize it.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

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. Its an overall great helmet.

# Cascade XRS Helmet


### Product Description:

The Cascade XRS Helmet positions itself at the pinnacle of Cascade's lacrosse helmet lineup, designed for elite players demanding the most advanced protection and performance. A key feature is the Tri-Liner system, which combines three distinct liner technologies. This innovative approach aims to address a wide range of impact forces, from high-intensity hits to glancing blows. The XRS also boasts the Pro Vision mask with an angled second vision bar, designed to maximize downward visibility for superior ground ball tracking. This focus on cutting-edge protection and enhanced vision aligns with Cascade's commitment to providing players with equipment that maximizes performance and minimizes injury risk. The Cascade XRS Helmet caters to professional and high-level players who require the most innovative technology and top-of-the-line protection available on the lacrosse field.


### Perfect helmet  for:

elite players demanding the most advanced protection and performance


### Key features include:



* Gen4 EPP to absorb high-impact forces in the front of the helmet and NV3 foam for impact absorption across the crown. 
* The Balance Point Technology positions the center of gravity in the middle crown, promoting a balanced feel and reducing neck strain. 
* The HardTail SPRfit system, with customizable jaw pads, allows for a 360-degree secure and comfortable fit with on-the-fly micro-adjustments. 
* PowerPress technology creates a thinner vision bar for better sightlines while maintaining strength. 
* XFLO ventilation allows cool air to flow through the helmet and out the back, maximizing breathability and keeping players cooler during intense games. 


### Top competitors comparison: the [Cascade S](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/cascade/s-61/l855) and the [STX Rival](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/stx/rival-5/l7661) 

The Cascade XRS Lacrosse Helmet features a second angled VisionBar for exceptional downward visibility, ideal for ground ball specialists. The Cascade XRS and Cascade S Lacrosse Helmets both feature the most advanced impact absorption technology. The STX Rival offers a good fit and improved ventilation, while also being affordable. The Cascade XRS caters to players who prioritize top-tier protection and better vision. 


### Progression:

The XRS is an upgraded version of the popular Cascade S helmet. The S helmet features increased vision that sits slightly higher and allows a better up and down field of vision. The Cascade S, introduced the Jawbone, which is a single piece of plastic that extends from the chin back towards the ear and is designed to mitigate impact on the side of the head. The Cascade XRS has doubled down, and added another protective plastic stripe that helps distribute impact force. The XRS has also improved the airflow and weight distribution of the helmet and has upgraded their customization options, allowing for five customizable zones resulting in 9.6 million color combinations. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS: 



* This helmet is a tank. I feel completely confident and protected on the field with the XRS on. The multi-liner system and high-density foam absorb impacts like crazy. Haven't had any stingers or headaches since switching to this helmet.
* For a high-protection helmet, the XRS is surprisingly lightweight and comfortable. It doesn't weigh me down at all, and the 360 fit system ensures a snug but pressure-free feel.
* Being able to personalize your helmet with different shells, visors, and chin straps is a big deal for me. The XRS lets you do just that and create a helmet that reflects your style.

CONS:



* The XRS is definitely on the expensive side compared to some other helmets on the market.
* Finding the perfect fit can be a challenge with the XRS. The sizing system was weird. 
* The base model visor might not be ideal for outdoor games on bright days. Consider the extra cost if you need a visor with more sun protection.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

The XRS helmet features the Tri-Liner system that combines multiple foam densities for impact absorption. This might sound heavy, but the XRS is surprisingly lightweight, thanks to the shell design. It distributes weight evenly, so you'll barely notice you have it on, which is a major plus for those long games. Overall, the XRS is a top performer that feels light and secure, letting you focus on your game without worrying about your helmet.

IIHF PRO STOCK

# Cascade S Lacrosse Helmets

### Product Description: 

The Cascade S lacrosse helmet represents a leap forward in design and technology for Cascade. This helmet is designed for attackers and midfielders who prioritize a balance of protection and comfort. The biggest upgrade is the wide-open visibility. The S sits slightly higher and allows a much better up-and-down field of vision. The Tri-Liner system combined with the Supermono™ S shell creates the ideal protection package. The S is also super lightweight and breathable, thanks to ventilation ports where cool air flows in and out the rear XFLO exhaust. Building on Cascade's legacy of customization, the S allows for a 360° contoured fit that can be micro-adjusted on the fly.


### Perfect helmet for:

advanced players in high school, college, or professional leagues, who prioritize top-of-the-line protection, comfort, and vision on the field. 


### Key features include:



* GEN4 EPP manages variable force impacts specific to the front of the helmet and face mask.
* NV3 foam unites the shell and liner providing protection to the crown of the head.
* Seven Technology compresses on impact to laterally displace energy and resets within seconds. It is placed in key impact zones on the side and rear to manage repeated impacts.
* A one-piece shell and visor design that creates a rigid system to manage frontal impacts.
* A reinforced S-Series jaw that has a dual-material chin piece.
* VisionBar's PowerPress technology enhances sight lines and face mask rigidity.
* Expanded ventilation ports that increase breathability by 2x, allowing cool air to flow through and exit out the rear Xflo exhaust.
* Three customizable jaw pads provide a 360-degree contoured fit that can be micro-adjusted on the fly for ultimate comfort.


### Top competitors comparison: the [Warrior Burn](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/warrior/burn-14/l12316) and the [STX Rival](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/stx/rival-5/l7661)

While the Cascade S is a top contender, both the Warrior Burn and STX Rival offer strong competition. The Warrior Burn prioritizes traditional impact absorption with a focus on key zones, while the STX Rival boasts a budget-friendly price tag and a comfortable, adjustable fit achieved through its Sure-Fit Air System. On the field, all three helmets prioritize safety with certifications from NOCSAE and SEI. Ultimately, choosing between them depends on your budget and whether you prioritize a customizable fit or superior ventilation, a strength of the Cascade S.


### Progression:

The Cascade S helmet wasn't the first chapter in Cascade's line. It succeeded the Cascade R, marking a significant leap in design and functionality. Here's a breakdown of the progression:

**Pre-R Era:** Cascade's journey began with the original Cascade helmet, a major upgrade from traditional leather buckets. It offered a sleek design and more protection for the face. Models like C2 and CLH2 followed, refining the shape and introducing the now-familiar visor design.

**[CPX-R](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/cascade/cpx-r/l857):** This helmet introduced the "tail fin" design element still seen in Cascade helmets today. It also boasted a new liner system and a downward-sloping face mask for better visibility and aesthetics.

**[Cascade R](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/cascade/r/l856):** This helmet was built upon the CPX-R's foundation with several key upgrades, including a seven-technology liner system that effectively disperses impact energy throughout the helmet, a more customizable fit system, and a sleek and streamlined look that became a signature of Cascade helmets.

**[Cascade S](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/cascade/s-61/l855):** Surpassing the R, the Cascade S reigns supreme as one of Cascade's top-of-the-line offerings. It builds upon the R's success with further advancements including:



* An even more refined version of the Seven Technology liner system and introduces SmartShock technology, which strategically manages impact across different areas of the helmet.
* The S takes customization to a new level with an improved fit system that allows for personalized adjustments for optimal comfort and protection.
* A redesigned shell with enhanced ventilation channels for maximum breathability during intense play.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* The Cascade S is the most comfortable helmet I've ever worn. The Tri-Liner system really conforms to my head, and the sizing dial lets me get a nice, snug fit without any pressure points.
* My son plays attack and just switched to the Cascade S this season. It's a night and day difference from his old helmet. He says it feels much lighter, which helps him with dodging and moving around quickly. The padding feels really secure too.
* I've been using the Cascade S for two seasons now, and I can't say enough good things about it. The protection is top-notch. I've taken some pretty good shots to the head over the years, and I've never felt anything. The helmet does a great job of absorbing the impact. 

CONS: 




* The biggest downside to the Cascade S is the price. It's definitely one of the more expensive helmets on the market. However, I do believe you get what you pay for. 
* Sizing can be a bit tricky with the Cascade S. I had to order two different sizes to find the right fit.

     

* It's a bit on the higher end in terms of price, and some younger players might not need all the bells and whistles that this helmet offers.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

The Cascade S is a good helmet for any level. My kid—he's eight—loves his S. One thing to note is that all youth Cascades helmets are slightly smaller than the adults. The one-piece shell and visor create a pretty rigid helmet to manage impacts. They also moved the center of gravity to the middle of the crown, keeping its weight balanced and aligned.

# Cascade R Lacrosse Helmets

The Cascade R Lacrosse Helmet falls right in line with Cascade's commitment to constant improvement. Released before the top-of-the-line Cascade S, the R still offers a significant leap in protection and comfort compared to previous models. A key selling point is the adjustable "R" fit system, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for a wide range of head sizes. It also boasts the innovative "R" design, a sleeker and more aerodynamic evolution of the "tail fin" featured on prior Cascade helmets. The Cascade R represents a stepping stone between previous iterations and the cutting-edge technology of the Cascade S, making it a great choice for players seeking a balance between affordability, advanced features, and the Cascade legacy of excellence.


### Perfect helmet  for:

advanced youth, high school and collegiate players


### Key features include: 



* SevenTechnology liner and Poron XRD foam work together to absorb high and low-energy hits. 
* HardTail SPRfit system and adjustable jaw pads offer a personalized fit. 
* SuperMono R shell provides a lightweight structure for better impact management.
* R-Series chin and mask design expands peripheral vision while maintaining strong frontal protection. 


### Top competitors comparison: the [Warrior Burn](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/warrior/burn-14/l12316) Lacrosse Helmet and the [STX Rival](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/stx/rival-5/l7661)

Stacked against competitors Warrior Burn and STX Rival, the Cascade R holds its own as a mid-range option. While the Warrior Burn boasts advanced padding focused on high-impact areas and the STX Rival offers great value with its adjustable fit system, the Cascade R strikes a balance between protection and affordability. All three helmets meet safety certifications and will perform well on the field. The deciding factor might come down to whether you prioritize a customized fit (STX Rival) or advanced padding technology (Warrior Burn).


### Progression:

The Cascade R helmet wasn't the first in Cascade's line. It succeeded the Cascade CPX-R, marking a significant leap in design and functionality. Here's a breakdown of the progression:

**Pre-R Era:** Cascade's journey began with the original Cascade helmet, a major upgrade from traditional leather buckets. It offered a sleek design and more protection for the face. Models like C2 and CLH2 followed, refining the shape and introducing the now-familiar visor design.

**[CPX-R](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/cascade/cpx-r/l857):** This helmet introduced the "tail fin" design element still seen in Cascade helmets today. It also boasted a new liner system and a downward-sloping face mask for better visibility and aesthetics.

**[Cascade R](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/cascade/r/l856):** Here's where the R takes center stage. It built upon the CPX-R's foundation with several key upgrades:



* **Enhanced Protection:** The R incorporated Cascade's Seven Technology liner system, which effectively disperses impact energy throughout the helmet. It also featured Poron XRD foam, a material known for absorbing high-energy hits.
* **Improved Fit:** The R offered a more customizable fit system compared to its predecessor.
* **Modern Design:** The R sported a sleek and streamlined look that became a signature of Cascade helmets.

While the Cascade S helmet has since surpassed the R as Cascade's top-of-the-line offering, the R remains a popular choice for players seeking a balance between protection, affordability, and a classic Cascade design.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS



* This Cascade R is a tank. I play attack and take a lot of hard hits, but I feel completely confident with this helmet on. The Poron foam is incredible - it absorbs impact like crazy.
* The sizing system is super easy to use, and the liner conforms to your head perfectly. No pressure points, and no sloppy movement…it feels like it was custom-made for me. 
* The moisture-wicking liner does a great job of keeping my head cool and dry, even during the most intense games. Plus, the ear shells are comfortable and don't press down on my ears at all, which is a big deal for me. 

CONS



* The Cascade R is definitely on the heavier side compared to some other helmets i’ve used. It's not a huge deal for me, but some players might find it a little bulky, especially attack or midfielders who need maximum mobility.
* This helmet is a top-of-the-line piece of equipment, and the price reflects that. It's definitely an investment. If you're a casual player or just starting out, there might be more affordable options available that offer a good balance of protection and price.
* The customization options seem a bit limited compared to some other high-end helmets on the market.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

Many kids upgrade to the top-of-the-line Cascade R helmet when they reach JV or Varsity levels. It's a good helmet for any player who wants top-of-the-line protection. The venting system is good and keeps the head cool during intense games. The mask design offers an excellent downward field of view, crucial for scooping up ground balls.

Carving a space in the offensive arena, the ECD Ion Head takes on established contenders like the Maverik Optik 3.0 and STX Surgeon 900, each offering distinct advantages. The Maverik Optik 3.0 champions customization with its interchangeable faceplate technology, allowing players to tailor the pocket to their preferences.

Pros:

* This head has all the best qualities of the Maverik Optik 3.0 with an even tighter release. 

Cons: 



* I like this head - it's light and performs great. But, it's too fragile. I've had two breaks in 8 months at the throat. If it were more durable, it'd be the best ever.
* Used this new lacrosse head in college practice and after 7-8 months it cracked near the throat. Love the color and design but not perfect yet.
* It's been working okay for me. Was not easy at first to string the right pocket.


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

The Ion is ECD’s lightest head on the market and is designed for quick attackmen. ECD features a new design with the Ion, the Diamond Plastic, which is their new see-through durable plastic. The face of this head was designed to be more aerodynamic and the sidewall holes set up the perfect mid-low pocket.

### Bauer Vapor Hyperlite - Similar Models

While the Bauer Vapor Hyperlite is a newly designed, vastly improved stick with all of Bauer's newest features and game-winning technologies, the Vapor Hyperlite is actually quite similar to the Bauer Vapor Flylite. Let's take a look at them side by side:

#### General Overview

The Hyperlite and Flylite are both built for advanced players craving performance. Naturally, as sticks within Bauer's 'Vapor' product line, both sticks are designed with quick puck release and responsiveness in mind.

|Model|Price|Level of Play|Built For
|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:
Bauer Vapor Flylite (2019)|$$$|Advanced|Quick release and responsiveness
Bauer Vapor Hyperlite (2021)|$$$$$|Advanced|Lightweight responsiveness, enhanced durability, quick release shots

#### Hyperlite vs. Flylite - Spec Comparison

Side by side, the Hyperlite and Flylite may look similar, however it’s easily noticeable how substantially lighter the Hyperlite is compared to the Flylite. Additionally, with the Flylite originally released in 2019, the Hyperlite is a more modern stick having 3+ years of technological and design advancements over its predecessor. If you liked the Flylite you’ll love the hyperlite, and even if you aren’t totally familiar with either vapor sticks, you’ll still benefit from the wide array of game-winning technologies Bauer has carefully engineered into the Hyperlite.

Catalyst 9X Pro

Optik 2.0

# Maverik Optik 2.0 Lacrosse Heads

The Maverik Optik 2.0 lacrosse head aims to elevate offensive prowess for elite attackmen and midfielders. At its core, the Optik 2.0 boasts an ultra-lightweight construction that translates to lightning-fast dodges and effortless shots, empowering offensive players to dominate the field. 

The Maverik Optik 2.0 was endorsed by Team USA's Jordan Wolf, who is renowned for his dodging skills, and its design reflects his input for optimal performance. While the Optik 2.0 has since been surpassed by the Optik 3.0, its legacy lives on. It marked a significant step forward in Maverik's offensive offerings, showcasing their ability to blend cutting-edge technology with player-centric design. The Optik 2.0 remains a sought-after head for attackers seeking an edge in speed, accuracy, and power.


**Perfect head for:** attackmen 


### Key Features Include




* Tight face shape to improve control
* Tension lock for enhanced accuracy and control
* Designed for low-mid pocket for quick and accurate release with added power
* X-Rail Technology to distribute stress for durability
* Duratough material for stiffness and consistency in all weather conditions


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [StringKing Mark 2A](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2a/l758) and the [Warrior Burn XP-O](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/burn-xp-o/l174311)

Catering to power-seeking offensive players, the Maverik Optik 2.0 competes with the StringKing Mark 2A and Warrior Burn XP-O, each offering distinct advantages in achieving offensive dominance. The Optik 2.0 boasts a deep pocket and a wide face shape, ideal for cradling the ball tightly during aggressive drives and ripping powerful shots. The StringKing Mark 2A takes a similar approach with a deep pocket and a stiff construction, prioritizing power and hold for forceful shots and plays around the crease. However, the Mark 2A's offset design caters specifically to lefty players. Conversely, the Warrior Burn XP-O leans towards a slightly shallower pocket with a focus on versatility. While still packing enough punch for powerful shots, the Burn XP-O's design allows for more flexibility and finesse in tight offensive maneuvers. 


### Progression:

The Maverik Optik lacrosse head series features three models: Optik, Optik 2.0, and Optik 3.0. Here's a breakdown of their progression: 


**[Maverik Optik](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/optik/l751) (Original)**



* Level 2 bottom rail designed for a low-mid pocket
* Weighing in at 4.5oz, the Optik’s 2-Strut design is built for speed


**[Maverik Optik 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/optik-2-0/l8918)**



* Focused on offensive players, improving control, accuracy, and power
* Tighter face shape 
* Tension Lock technology for a more defined channel 
* X-Rail technology for increased stiffness and durability


**[Maverik Optik 3.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/maverik/optik-3-0/l165698)**



* Emphasizes performance and a modern feel while maintaining the core strengths of the previous models.
* Wider face shape for improved scooping and channeling
* Lighter weight construction for increased agility
* Updated pocket design for optimal hold and release


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* The stick feels great and throws well. Extremely consistent accuracy and a decently quick release. I’ve strung mine up to have a mid-low pocket. 
* Super light with a shape that is made for the crease. Does a good job catching in traffic and gets a nice pop on shots. 
* Beginners looking for an affordable but durable and effective lacrosse head should consider the 2.0

CONS



* The head could benefit from more sidewall holes, particularly for creating mid/high and high pockets.
* The pocket depth is too low 
* My head has some cracking and warping issues after a year of use


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

The second head in the Optik line, the 2.0 has a brand new tighter face shape. This shape helps with ball protection and accuracy when passing and shooting. It has tension lock technology to allow players to string their sticks with a highly defined channel. With changes to the material and structure, this head is durable and stiff and will hold its shape in extreme weather conditions.
