Intro & New Features
Introducing the cutting-edge Bauer Vapor HyperLite 2 hockey helmet, a pinnacle of advanced technology and uncompromising protection. Designed with the best that Bauer has to offer, this exceptional helmet incorporates a range of innovative features to prioritize both comfort and safety, including all-new GX-Cell technology, DCT padding and liner, an Aerolite base, and an adjustable occipital lock.
Outer Shell Construction
The helmet base is made with Aerolite technology, an innovative 3D wrap that offers a contoured fit around the head for a closer fit while still minimizing uncomfortable pressure points. The Aerolite base also excels at mitigating high-energy impacts, providing an added layer of protection to keep players safe during intense gameplay.
Internal Foams & Liner
Bauer’s biggest innovation for this helmet lies in the inside of the helmet along the liner. Strategically positioned GX-Cell pods are 3D-printed pods and meticulously designed to maximize energy absorption in areas most prone to impacts, offering unparalleled protection against head injuries. These advanced pods focus on mitigating the force of rotational impacts for better safety on the ice, in addition to featuring integrated air channels for better ventilation.
Fit & Sizing Adjustment
With the FreeForm Adjustment system, every player can fine-tune the helmet's fit to their unique preferences. This advanced adjustment system has been upgraded from previous models, like the RE-AKT 150 or RE-AKT 85, and is designed to fit every head shape and keep the helmet secure on your head. This system is coupled with an occipital lock, which further ensures an Elite-level fit that keeps the helmet securely in place. It is suggested that the dials on the Freeform Adjustment System be adjusted first before fixing the Occipital Lock in place.
Certification
The Hyperlite 2 helmet is certified with HECC (Hockey Equipment Certification Council), CSA (Canadian Standards Association), UKCA (United Kingdom Conformity Assesed) and CE (European Community) certification. These stickers indicate their compliance with the applicable standards in different leagues.

Hockey Helmet Sizing
Sizing before Purchase
To fit for your proper sized helmet you will need a soft tape measure. Take this tape measure and have another person snugly wrap it around your head at the largest point, usually just above the eyebrows (see left). Record this measurement of circumference and compare it to the available sizing charts in the brand of helmet you are looking at.
Sizing after Purchase
To ensure a good fit after you have received your proper sized helmet, flip open and unlock the helmet clip(s) and slide the helmet to its last and largest setting. Position it on the head so the rim is one finger width above the eyebrow. Gradually begin to downsize the helmet, pressing on the front and back until a comfortable, snug fit is achieved. Lock the helmet into this size by pressing down and closing the locking adjustment(s). Look in a mirror while wearing the helmet to make sure the ear guards are covering at least half of your ear and to make sure the helmet does not appear to be shifting back and forth on your head.
It is recommended to use a mouth guard although not required. It is recommended that players wear HECC and CE Certified helmets and in Hockey Canada sanctioned leagues it is required for helmets to be CSA approved. CSA, HECC and CE Certified stickers are fixed to the helmets indicating their certification.
