    I don’t understand what’s so special about this helmet.  We’ve seen matte black before.  Other teams are doing colored and chromed facemasks.  Is it just because this helmet also has a chromed chin piece?  We’re so desperate for new ideas that this is a big deal?

    Don’t get me wrong.  I like the helmet.  Black and orange are great together. I just don’t see anything here that exciting or new.

      if it were ANY brand but Cascade I could see your point.  But Cascade doesn’t do a TON of custom work, so seeing a matte black top of the line helmet is cool… at least to me.

      I agree with Connor. What makes this special is that taking a Pro7 apart and making it custom has to happen entirely outside of Cascade’s shop. Easton and Warrior both do matte in house, Cascade and Warrior already do chrome facemasks (in limited colors). But this opportunity allows complete customization of a helmet that I personally don’t care to take apart and put back together on my own. It’s an important step forward in customization, no matter how seemingly small.

         I get all that.  Great work by them.  But as a helmet, just based on looks, I think it’s a repeat of an idea that’s been done.  Yes it’s on a cascade.  Yes, it had to be done custom outside of the Cascade factory.  That in itself doesn’t wow me.  Coming up with a completely new look would be more likely to wow me. 

        Again, very cool helmet.  Great look.  Really cool, professionally staged pictures of it.  It just didn’t excite me like it obviously does some of you.  And believe me, I’m not the fashion police.  So I’m not the guy that needs to be impressed.
