# 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.

# 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.

* 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.

* 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

### 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.

### 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.

The CS also incorporates a multi-layer liner system, utilizing foam technology for effective impact absorption. This focus on protection aligns with Cascade's commitment to player safety. The CS bridges the gap between the entry-level helmets and the top-of-the-line models within the Cascade lineup. It's ideal for developing players who have outgrown the youth helmets but don't need the most advanced features offered in the premium Cascade helmets.

-   Liner System: The CS utilized a multi-layer liner system, featuring foam technology for improved impact absorption compared to some previous models.
    
-   Focus on Value: The CS remained true to Cascade's commitment to providing good value for players. It offered essential protection and functionality at a more accessible price point compared to the top-of-the-line Cascade helmets.
    

  

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

  

PROS:

  

-   For the price, the CS is a great value! It's a significant upgrade from the basic helmets that come in starter kits, and it won't break the bank for parents of young players.
    

  

-   This helmet is nice and lightweight, which is perfect for younger players who are still developing their strength and stamina. It also seems to breathe well, which helps prevent overheating during games.
    

  

-   his helmet seems to fit a wider range of head shapes compared to some other youth options. It was easy to find a good fit for my child, and there's room for adjustment as they grow.
    

  

CONS:

  

-   While the straps are adjustable, it’s still not the most customizable fit, especially for my younger son who has a more narrower head.
    

  

-   A wide adjustment range means the helmet can result in slight looseness, which can be corrected by adding a little foam a the sides. Inserts of this type ought to be standard.
    

  

-   One of my sons complained that the inside padding was moving around.
    

### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround))

  

I like the foam in the CS; it really absorbs impact without feeling bulky. It makes for a lightweight helmet that helps with sprints or quick cuts. The adjustable fit system allows you to personalize the tightness for a secure, locked-in feel. While the CS might not have all the bells and whistles of Cascade's top-of-the-line models, it prioritizes what matters most – keeping you protected and comfortable.

The Warrior Evo appeals to players seeking a balance between cutting-edge protection and adjustability. 


### Progression:

The Warrior Evo Lacrosse helmet is a standalone model that was released in 2018. It is praised for its innovative features, especially the BOA® fit system. This system uses a dial to create a snug and customizable fit, similar to a high-end snowboard boot.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* This helmet is super lightweight and comfortable, even during intense games. My head never feels weighed down, and the fit is great - no pressure points at all.
* The BOA closure system is a game-changer. Being able to easily adjust the fit on the fly with the dial is awesome. No more messing around with multiple straps to get a secure feeling.
* For the price, the Warrior Evo offers a great balance of features and performance. It's a solid choice for players of all ages and skill levels, especially those looking for a comfortable, lightweight helmet.

CONS:



* The color selection for the Evo seems a bit limited compared to some other helmets on the market.
* The sizing runs a bit small on the Evo. Make sure to take proper measurements and potentially order a size up to ensure a good fit.
* While the Evo offers good protection, it might not be the best option for defensemen or players in very competitive leagues who need the most advanced impact absorption technology.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

Anything Warrior makes is going to be top-of-the-line. My favorite feature of the EVO is the BOA Fit System. It's perfect for in-game adjustments and creates a super secure fit—no more helmet bobblehead action. It also has a high-impact absorption liner. Although the EVO sits at the higher end of the price range for lacrosse helmets, it's worth it if you play competitive lacrosse and need high-end protection features.

# Cascade CPV Lacrosse Helmets


### Product Description:

The Cascade CPV Lacrosse Helmet falls within the brand's tradition of offering high-quality protective equipment at accessible prices. It represents an entry or mid-range option within Cascade's helmet lineup. The CPV prioritizes comfort and a good fit for young, developing players.  It features an adjustable sizing system to accommodate growth spurts and a lightweight design that won't weigh down smaller athletes. While the CPV offers decent protection, it might not be suitable for the highest levels of competitive play. This focus on affordability and adjustability makes the CPV a solid choice for beginners or players in youth leagues, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit at a reasonable price point. It reflects Cascade's understanding that a good helmet is essential for fostering confidence and encouraging participation in the sport.


### Perfect helmet for:

younger players, typically ages 9-13


### Key features include:



* SPRfit™ system for a better 360 degree contoured fit.
* Anatomical EPP / dovetail liner system for high-level protection.
* Slight V-shape, Chevron Mask for increased downward vision.


### Top competitors comparison: the [Cascade CPV-R](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/cascade/cpv-r/l7439) and the [Warrior Burn](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/warrior/burn-14/l12316)

The Cascade CPV prioritizes a secure, personalized fit. It features the 3-point BOA fit system and focuses on comfort through strategically placed pads. This system caters to players who value a precise fit to maximize their performance. The Cascade CPV-R also has a multi-layered liner system for reliable protection but utilizes a traditional lace-up closure system. The Warrior Burn has its own multi-impact liner and a combined BOA dial and adjustable strap system. This combination is similar to the Cascade CPV and CPV-R but might appeal to players who prioritize safety. 


### Progression:

There isn't a confirmed predecessor of the CPV. Cascade's lacrosse helmet history involved earlier models like the C2, which offered a more modern shape with an attached visor compared to even earlier leather styles. Cascade tweaks and improves materials, fit systems, and ventilation across its entire range without necessarily distinguishing between adult and youth models. The focus for the CPV is on maintaining a good value for younger players while incorporating some of the protective features from higher-end Cascade helmets.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* For the price, the CPV is a fantastic option for younger players. It's a significant upgrade from the basic helmets that come in starter kits, and it won't break the bank
* My daughter loves her CPV. It's comfortable to wear and feels much lighter than her old helmet. She says it doesn't rub or cause any pressure points
* The CPV has an adjustable sizing system that's great for growing kids. I can adjust the straps and padding to ensure a snug but comfortable fit as my son grows

CONS: 



* The ventilation in the CPV could be better. Especially on hot days, it causes my head to feel a bit sweaty.
* I​​t’s not the most exciting for younger players who want to personalize their gear.
* This is a great starter helmet, but as your child's skills and competition level increase, they might eventually need a helmet with more advanced protection features.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

The Cascade CPV is an excellent choice if you're a young attacker or midfielder looking for a helmet that won't weigh you down. The CPV sits at a comfortable price point for a lacrosse helmet and delivers a lightweight, sleek design. The shell keeps things cool with its venting system, and the adjustable fit lets you find a sweet spot that won't wobble around during dodges or cuts. It might not have the most advanced padding system, but the CPV is a winner for comfort and value.
