A hockey helmet should not only meet safety requirements – it should also fit properly, feel stable throughout the entire game and perform at the pace you play. Modern helmets are built in multiple layers with different types of impact absorbing materials, ventilation channels and adjustment systems that allow the helmet to adapt to the shape of the head.
Bauer has for a long time developed helmets for everything from junior hockey to senior and elite level. In this guide we go through four popular models – Bauer Re-Akt 3D, Re-Akt 155, Re-Akt 90 and Re-Akt 70 – and explain what sets them apart.

Which Bauer-hockey helmet should I choose?
The choice of a Bauer helmet mainly depends on how much you train and play – and at what level. If you play senior hockey or junior at a high level, greater demands are placed on both impact protection and stable fit, since the pace is higher and the physical play tougher.
For players in senior teams, J20 or similar level, the Re-Akt 3D is one of Bauer’s most advanced options. It is developed to withstand elite or professional level.
Re-Akt 155 is an obvious choice for serious junior and senior players who want modern impact protection in a classically designed hockey helmet. It performs at all levels.
Re-Akt 90 suits players who prioritize how the helmet feels on the head, without needing the most advanced technology. Here, the focus is on the shaping liner and the deeper fit.
Re-Akt 70 is a good choice for youth players and for those who play at entry or recreational level and want a helmet that is easy to adjust and fits securely right away.
