Cascade CPV Lacrosse Helmets
The Cascade CPV Lacrosse Helmet falls within the brand's tradition of offering high-quality protective equipment at accessible prices. It represents an entry or mid-range option within Cascade's helmet lineup. The CPV prioritizes comfort and a good fit for young, developing players. It features an adjustable sizing system to accommodate growth spurts and a lightweight design that won't weigh down smaller athletes. While the CPV offers decent protection, it might not be suitable for the highest levels of competitive play. This focus on affordability and adjustability makes the CPV a solid choice for beginners or players in youth leagues, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit at a reasonable price point.
Key features include:
| • | SPRfit™ system for a better 360 degree contoured fit. |
| • | Anatomical EPP / dovetail liner system for high-level protection. |
| • | Slight V-shape, Chevron Mask for increased downward vision. |

The Cascade CPV prioritizes a secure, personalized fit. It features the 3-point BOA fit system and focuses on comfort through strategically placed pads. This system caters to players who value a precise fit to maximize their performance. The Cascade CPV-R also has a multi-layered liner system for reliable protection but utilizes a traditional lace-up closure system. The Warrior Burn has its own multi-impact liner and a combined BOA dial and adjustable strap system. This combination is similar to the Cascade CPV and CPV-R but might appeal to players who prioritize safety.
Progression of the CPV
There isn't a confirmed predecessor of the CPV. Cascade's lacrosse helmet history involved earlier models like the C2, which offered a more modern shape with an attached visor compared to even earlier leather styles. Cascade tweaks and improves materials, fit systems, and ventilation across its entire range without necessarily distinguishing between adult and youth models. The focus for the CPV is on maintaining a good value for younger players while incorporating some of the protective features from higher-end Cascade helmets.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| Great option for young players. It's a major upgrade from the low quality helmets that come in basic starter kits, but it also won't break the bank. |
| Much more comfortable and lightweight to wear during those long games. My son says it doesnt cause any pressure points or rub in any places. |
| I can easily adjust the straps and padding to make sure the fit is snug but comfortable as my son grows! |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| I think the ventilation in the CPV could be much better. Particularly during games on hot days, it makes my head feel sweaty. |
| For young players who like to personalize their gear, it's not very exciting. |
| The CPV is a fantastic starter helmet, but as their skills increase throughout childhood they'll need more protective gear. |
The Cascade CPV is an excellent choice if you're a young attacker or midfielder looking for a helmet that won't weigh you down. The CPV sits at a comfortable price point for a lacrosse helmet and delivers a lightweight, sleek design. The shell keeps things cool with its venting system, and the adjustable fit lets you find a sweet spot that won't wobble around during dodges or cuts. It might not have the most advanced padding system, but the CPV is a winner for comfort and value.
