Cascade XRS Pro Helmet
Cascade XRS Pro Helmet
The Cascade XRS Pro Helmet sits at the pinnacle of Cascade's lacrosse helmet offerings, designed to be the ultimate choice for professional and elite players seeking the most advanced protection and performance available. A key feature is the innovative Tri-Liner System, which incorporates three distinct layers of liner technology. This multi-layered approach aims to effectively manage a wide range of impacts, from high-powered checks to glancing blows, for maximum player safety. The XRS Pro also boasts the Pro Vision mask with an angled second vision bar, designed to maximize a player's downward visibility for superior ground ball tracking and overall situational awareness on the field.
Key features include:
| • | Gen4 EPP and NV3 Foam, Cascade’s top-of-the-line impact absorption combination. |
| • | The 360 fit system wraps comfortably and securely around your head, unlike some helmets that sit on top. |
| • | HardTail SPRfit with customizable jaw pads allows for micro-adjustments to achieve a personalized 360-degree secure and comfortable fit. |
| • | A revolutionary second VisionBar angled at 32 degrees, significantly enhancing downward visibility for ground ball plays. |
| • | XFLOW ventilation maximizes breathability with expanded ventilation ports for cool air intake and hot air exhaust. |

| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| This helmet feels snug on my head and neck. I particularly like the quick clip; the magnet only releases when pulled down, making it easy to put on with gloves. |
| Not since the Pro 7 have I had a helmet that feels as though it actually protects the back of my head. This is their best model yet! |
| I have no complaints with this helmet and I'm using it as goalie. It fits totally true to size, feels great, and looks amazing. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Wish there was a size between Youth and Adult. My son has almost outgrown his youth helmet, and the adult helmet is still too large even though it should fit. |
| Not necessarily suitable for beginners; adjusting the straps can be challenging. |
| The cost is high, particularly if you make customizations. |
If you're a serious player demanding top-of-the-line protection without feeling weighed down, the XRS Pro is a great helmet. It has the multi-layered Tri-Liner Plus system to absorb every check and shot, but it also feels ridiculously light. The SuperMono shell distributes weight evenly, so it practically disappears on your head. No more feeling like you're lugging around a brick during practice! The pro model features the BalancePoint Technology, which shifts the center of gravity for a balanced, secure fit that won't wobble around. It's an overall great helmet.
