How to Fit Your Bauer Hockey Helmet Correctly
Wearing a properly fitted helmet is one of the most important parts of player safety. It ensures not only protection from impacts but also maximum comfort and visibility during play.
Follow this 3-step fitting process to make sure your Bauer helmet fits correctly every time.
Step 1: Start with the Right Position
- Open your helmet to its largest setting (use the adjustment tabs or tool-free mechanism depending on your model).
- Place the helmet squarely on your head — the front should sit just above your eyebrows.
- The ideal position is when the front edge of the helmet is about one finger width above your brows
Step 2: Adjust for a Snug, Secure Fit
- With the helmet on, slide the front and back portions together until the helmet feels comfortably snug all around your head.
- It should be tight enough that it doesn’t wobble when you shake your head — but not so tight that it causes discomfort or pressure points.
- If your helmet uses tool-free side clips or dial systems (like the RE-AKT models), adjust those until you feel secure.
Tip: Try nodding your head up and down — if the helmet shifts or lifts, tighten it slightly more.
Step 3: Lock it in Place
- Once the fit feels good, tighten the rear adjustment mechanism or lock the sizing tabs in place.
- Double check the fit: Chin strap is snug (but not choking), Cage (if attached) lines up with your facial structure, Helmet stays in place with movement.
- The ideal position is when the front edge of the helmet is about one finger width above your brows.
