Bauer RE-AKT 85 Hockey Helmet / Cage Combo

Bauer has been developing their RE-AKT helmets for about a decade now, and the RE-AKT 85 looks to build off the success of the previous RE-AKT 75. The RE-AKT 85 features new Defense Cloud technology, a freeform adjustment system, and an Aerolite 3.0 shell. This performance-level helmet looks to give you the confidence you need in a helmet at a more budget-friendly price point.

Outer Shell Construction
The shell base of the helmet is made of Aerolite 3.0, similar to the Hyperlite protective collection. This shell base supports their new Defense Cloud technology (DCT) in absorbing impact force, and combined with the vinyl nitrile standard material used in most helmets today, you can be sure you are receiving some of Bauer’s best helmet protection at a more affordable price.

Internal Foams & Liner
The RE-AKT 85 uses Bauer’s new Defense Cloud technology, which is an advanced foam that Bauer has been implementing in many of their protectives for the 2022 season. This material is soft, comfy, and form-fitting, in addition to being lightweight. In terms of the liner, the helmet uses Bauer’s Thermocore Zero liner, which is great at both wicking away odour and moisture while additionally keeping you cool throughout the game.

Cage Construction
The cage combo of the RE-AKT 85 helmet features a Profile II facemask, which has a carbon steel construction and uses an oval-style wire, effectively keeping your face protected from impact while still allowing for great vision. The cage is CSA, HECC, and CE certified.

Fit & Sizing Adjustment
A true upgrade from the RE-AKT 75 is the new freeform, tool-free adjustment system that covers both the length and width of the helmet. With new research coming out about head injuries, it is becoming increasingly more important to find a helmet that fits your head shape, which is what the new freeform adjustment system looks to improve on. It is important to note that helmets may decrease your risk for head injury, but no helmet can 100% protect you from concussions.

Certification
The RE-AKT 85 helmet is certified with HECC (Hockey Equipment Certification Council), CSA (Canadian Standards Association), and CE (European Community) certification. These stickers indicate their compliance with the applicable standards in different leagues.

Sizes & Colors
The Bauer RE-AKT 85 Hockey Helmet / Cage Combo comes in Small, Medium, and Large sizes in the following colourways: Black, Blue, Navy, Red, and White.
