CCM Tacks 710 Hockey Helmets
The CCM Tacks 710 hockey helmet prioritizes player safety and comfort. It features an R.E.D. system designed to manage rotational energy, a key factor in head injuries. By incorporating multiple layers of protection, the R.E.D. system helps to reduce the impact of rotational forces on the brain. The 710 also features the I.Q. Shion Memory Foam, which is a high-tech liner that adapts to the shape of the head, creating a custom-like fit while providing comfort and moisture-wicking properties.

| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| The very first time I wore this helmet, I was pushed head-first into the boards and didn’t feel a thing. Perfect protection! |
| The helmet allows adjustment from front to back and side to side, providing a fit snug enough to stay in place while never feeling constricting. |
| The padding inside is the most comfortable I've ever experienced, and channels keep the sweat flowing away from my face and out of my eyes. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| The glue that holds the foam in has given up pretty fast and both cage snap-in points broke within three months of use. |
| The screws are difficult to mount for a shield. It's difficult to put oversized screws and brackets on the top two screw holes. |
| The padding separates from its liner with some use, which creates a pocket between the pad and liner that traps moisture and leads to bad smells. |
The 710 is a solid choice for the player looking for a balance of protection and affordability. It's got the new R.E.D. (Rotational Energy Dampening) system, which manages rotational impact force on your head. The helmet is lightweight and the D30 padding is placed in key impact zones. While not as high-end as CCMs flagship helmet, the Super Tacks X, the 710 is a great option for players at all levels looking for reliable protection at an affordable price.
