# 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.

CPX-R

# Cascade CPX-R Lacrosse Helmets

The Cascade CPX-R Lacrosse Helmet stands as a testament to Cascade's focus on innovation for the developing player. This best-selling helmet bridges the gap between youth and elite models. One of its key selling points is the adjustable SPRfit system, which allows for a perfect fit throughout a player's growth spurts. The CPX-R also incorporates the "tail fin" design, a signature Cascade innovation that enhances weight distribution and balance for young athletes.  This helmet sits within the Cascade legacy as a major advancement from earlier models, offering significant protection and adjustability for the crucial youth and high school lacrosse stages.


### Perfect helmet  for:

all active players between the ages of 11-14 and high school players as well


### Key features include:



* A high-performance liner for absorbing forceful impacts paired with a comfort liner for mitigating low-energy hits
* A personalized and secure fit through the CPX fit system, which integrates an adjustable head pad for optimal comfort and safety. 
* A strategically positioned second vision bar that expands the player's field of view without compromising protection. 
* Maintains airflow and comfort with vents that allow for heat and moisture to escape. 


### Top competitors comparison: the [Warrior Burn Jr](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/warrior/burn-14/l12316) and the [STX Rival Jr](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/stx/rival-5/l7661) 

Despite the Cascade CPX-R's enduring presence, the Warrior Burn Jr and STX Rival Jr offer strong options for young players today. All three meet safety standards, but the CPX-R takes a balanced approach with a traditional design, adjustable fit, and multi-layered impact absorption. The Warrior Burn Jr mirrors this focus on protection through its combination of foams, while the STX Rival Jr prioritizes affordability and adjustability, similar to the adult STX Stallion, making it a great choice for a comfortable, budget-friendly fit for growing athletes.


### Progression:

The Cascade CPX-R wasn't the first iteration in Cascade's lacrosse helmet legacy, but it was a significant step forward in design and functionality. Here's a look at the progression leading up to the CPX-R:

**Pre-CPX-R Era:** Cascade's journey began with its original helmet, a major leap from traditional leather head protection. This helmet offered a more streamlined design and increased facial protection. Subsequent models like the C2 and CLH2 continued to refine the shape and introduce the now-familiar visor design.

**[Cascade CPX-R](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/cascade/cpx-r/l857):** This helmet marked a turning point for Cascade, introducing several key upgrades:



* **Inspired Design:** The CPX-R drew inspiration from the automotive industry, evident in its sleek lines and distinctive "tail fin" design element, which is still used in the most current Cascade models.
* **Enhanced Protection:** The CPX-R boasts a revamped liner system for better impact absorption. Although not the original Seven Technology liner system seen in later models, it represented a step forward in safety.
* **Improved Visibility:** Compared to earlier models, the CPX-R features a downward-sloping face mask. This improves a player's field of view without sacrificing protection.

The CPX-R builds upon the foundation laid by Cascade's earlier helmets, focusing on improved aesthetics, better protection, and enhanced player experience. It paved the way for the introduction of the Cascade R, which further refined the design and incorporated Cascade's innovative Seven Technology liner system for superior impact management.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* My son wore the CPX-R to a game last weekend and loves it. He says he can see better, and it fits better than the helmet we had on loan from our program. He also says he was less "sweaty" in this helmet. Awesome helmet at a great price.
* This helmet is excellent for my 10 year old. It’s comfortable, fits securely, and definitely protects her face and head. Definitely recommend.
* I have a small head. The CPV-R feels smaller than the CPV which I like. Overall, I like the CPV-R better, the fit is more snug, and the peripheral vision is great. 

CONS: 



* A bit expensive for a youth helmet, but all good lacrosse equipment seems to be pricey these days. 
* ⁦The only issue is that Cascade doesn't make a L/XL for kids with bigger heads. They assume only the smaller kids play lacrosse so there is no need to make them?? Other then that the helmet is nice but a little pricey.
* After about a month of owning this helmet, the padding behind my head folded up and fell off.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

The CPX-R is a very light helmet. It has less protection than the higher-end models, especially in head-to-head collisions. An eight-year-old isn't going to get hit by a 200-pounder, so they don't need all the extra materials that adult helmets have. Also, there is no sizing with the CPX-R, as the helmet has a pinch-able adjustment feature at the base of the neck.
