Warrior Krown 360 Helmet

Warrior Hockey recently unveiled their new at the Let’s Play Hockey Expo in Las Vegas. Last month we brought you a picture of the Warrior Koretex helmet, but we have not heard much about it since. It appears the Koretex may have just been a prototype name. The Warrior Krown 360, however is the helmet we can definitely expect to hit retail stores in the not too distant future. What makes the Krown 360 helmet unique is it’s ability to further customize the fit to your head shape. Most helmets allow for adjustments to the length of the helmet, but the Warrior Krown 360 will allow you to adjust the width as well.

Most hockey pundits sounding off about the Krown 360 are not very pleased with its aesthetic appeal. Swagger has become an important factor for Warrior Hockey, and while players will pick up the new helmet simply because it is a Warrior product, others will opt for a more traditional looking helmet. Keep in mind, however, that the most important job for a helmet is to protect your melon. If Warrior has made any dramatic improvements in head protection, this may be a good pick up for players with a history of concussion.

Take a look at the new below and let us know what you think!

Warrior Koretex Helmet

Warrior Hockey is on the verge of releasing a new piece of protective equipment, the . In the photo below, you can see Brooks Laich giving the a try. The new helmet looks a bit on the smaller side, but appears to be well ventilated to help keep your head cool during game action. I’m not sure that I really like the look of the Koretex helmet, but protection is what matters most. This helmet has been years in the making, so I’m sure the team over at Warrior Hockey has done an incredible job with R&D to be able to put a new helmet on the heads of NHL players.
