Progression:
The Cascade Pro 7 helmet was Cascade's first attempt to fuse the lacrosse visor to the helmet's shell for a more rigid frame and a streamlined look. This innovation proved to be very successful, and subsequently, all future lacrosse helmets followed this trend of using a solid piece for the shell and visor. The Pro 7 was a significant improvement over its predecessors, such as the Cascade CLH2, in terms of protection and aesthetics.
What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)
- This helmet is a tank. I feel confident and protected on the field and the Seven Technology liner with high-density foam absorb impact like crazy. I haven't had any stingers or headaches since switching to this helmet.
- For a high-protection helmet, the Pro-7 is surprisingly lightweight. It doesn't weigh me down at all, and the fit is fantastic. I can play at full speed without feeling restricted.
- The customization options for the Pro-7 are amazing. I was able to design a helmet that perfectly matches my team colors and even add my own personal touches. It looks awesome on the field.
CONS
- The Pro-7 is definitely more expensive than some other helmets on the market, but it's a high-performance piece of equipment.
- Finding the perfect fit can be a bit of a challenge with the Pro-7. The sizing system might not be exactly what you expect.
- If you're a casual player or just starting out, there are more affordable options available that offer decent protection without all the pro features.
The Cascade Pro-7 is a familiar sight on the lacrosse field, but that's for a reason. Thanks to the shell design, it has a super lightweight feel and distributes weight evenly, so you barely notice you have it on, which is a significant plus during those intense games. While the Cascade Pro-7 offers excellent protection, it's important to remember it's an older model, and newer Cascade helmets might have advancements in padding and ventilation technology.
