Gear Review      Easton E700 Hockey Helmet
I purchased an E700 helmet a few months ago. Over all this helmet is amazing. It is durable, comfortable, and looks awesome. The colors it is currently offered in is white, black, and matte black(which looks really cool in contrast to the regular polished black).Many people worried about it's durability after the quality of the S19 helmet. Due to the higher quality external shell and newly designed internals, this helmet is much better. I personally broke 2 S19 helmets without getting hit all that hard. The new internals on the E700 make these problems obsolete. The new padding is much more comfortable and is also secured with velcro instead the sticky material used in the S19. The velcro does not pull your hair or get stuck to your head, which makes it way more comfortable. The snap back style securing strip on the back of the S19 was replaced by the elastic band used in Giro bike helmets. All of these features helped make this helmet even lighter than the S19. The light weight, durability, comfort, and looks of this helmet makes it a steal for $149.
