Ok, let's get down and dirty with the subject of the latest poll.
The CPX-R: Yes or No?

I don't particularly like the look of this helmet. The little protrusion coming out of the back doesn't really please the eye...
I watched part of the Under Armour All-American Classic on ESPNU, and both teams were outfitted with the new CPX-R. The helmet didn't look too bad on the screen, but up close, especially if you're trying to look good, I would imagine that you should stick with a regular CPX or Pro 7 from Cascade, and possibly a Warrior Trojan (which to me looks almost exactly like a CPX).
Anyway, there is a pretty big upside to the new CPX-R. A lot of people that I've talked to like the CPX design a lot better than the Pro 7. I personally like the Pro 7 more, but who cares about my opinion right? The upside to the new helmet is that it brings the CPX's design (more or less), and combines it with the Pro 7 technology which makes the helmet a lot more comfortable and helps protect your head a lot more. The CPX-R is not officially on sale yet, but here's a link to some helmets on Lax.com.
