| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| Lightweight, good padding where it matters. The new adjustments for width and length make this a real winner. |
| I love that the Hyperlite is super adjustable. There is a release on top and one on each side that allows for super easy, tool-free adjustment. |
| Way more adjustable than prior Bauer helmets. I don’t feel like I’m wearing a helmet at all. There are no pressure points. It dries fast. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| This helmet was great when we first purchased it, but 6 months later the pads inside the helmet started falling off. |
| The head size adjustments are nice, but the padding is of low quality for such an expensive price tag. |
| The helmet is light, but I expected the green foam to be softer. Instead it feels hard and uncomfortable on my head. |
The Hyperlite is for the elite player looking for every possible edge. This helmet is ridiculously light without sacrificing protection. Bauer’s new Shock Light liner absorbs impacts while offering a snug cradle that feels like it’s custom fit to your head. If you're seeking that pro-level feel and need every ounce of advantage on the ice, the Hyperlite is worth every penny.
