[@Zack-tx2ex]

They’re definitely going in the right direction with this model. Those stallions were UGLY😭

[@ECDgreg]

This was a big step up for sure.

[@gavindsouza1723]

I’m in my 5th year now, and someone else has had a stallion for like 4 or 5 years and he tried to put cascade decals on it

[@smittywerbenjagermanjensen2738]

Facts

[@eydendeibert8752]

Love the f22 computer backgrounds

[@docnice360]

Looks like a solid option. Nice review 👍🏻

[@ECD]

It definitely creates a new option for teams to explore

[@jackcoleman143]

They kind of went with a copycat version of a cascade R but anyway I think that it still is better than the stallion

[@ECD]

They do look a like however it is way better than the stallion

[@colewilson3223]

Letsssss go fall ball is here keep it up Greg!!!!!!😀

[@ECD]

Super pumped team ECD is ready to play!

[@frostedwheatthins7451]

Take a shot every time Greg says between matte and glossy

[@ECDgreg]

Got a little carried away. But it was between matte and glossy

[@ECD]

You got me lol

[@zachcarson7880]

What’s up with the university of Phoenix men’s lacrosse shirt 😂

[@ECDgreg]

I don't remember how I got it, but its awesome.

[@ECD]

It was a super sweet shirt someone sent me as a gift a few years back.

[@grayson8226]

It looks good I like it

[@williamwozniak11]

thats pretty raw!!

[@tarquintc]

Hey Greg, any plans on reviewing the Warrior Burn helmet? Would love to see that.

[@dylmcmill4643]

Greg lookin fly in the rival

[@ECD]

Thanks Dyl

[@aidanlin5473]

1:33 did he just palm the helmet

[@quinnpenton3555]

My hs team uses warrior helmets and I love it because no one else has them

[@ECD]

That is true not too many teams or payers roll with the Evo helmets

[@bradenwarwick8483]

1:11 yes Greg that box is shut you had to cut it open. 😎

[@carlshaw179]

Can you do like a game of corners and compare like some of the heads that you've reviewed to the ecd rebel and mirage?

[@ECD]

Corners is coming soon!

[@jakescheller2443]

That be nice to wear for fall ball

[@jerryk.8549]

2:49 Mainely Mesh inspiration??

[@5Lax]

This is a cool ad

[@johnwestmoreland2418]

anyone know if the six eclipse throat guard can mount to this without drilling into the helmet like it can with the stallion helmets?

[@turtle_6067]

I would say the top helmets now are the s and the burn. I’m looking to get an s next year

[@hotpocket3631]

So when u pump it up dose the foam fill up will air?

[@ACVRG1]

I love the Stallion

[@ECD]

Not something you hear everyday lol but everyone is titled to their opinion.

[@thezantron]

can you do a similar in depth review on the evo

[@ECD]

We can try to toss in the EVO in the review

[@josephjones9783]

Is there any way to get those rear ECD decals on the Rival?

[@acerock013]

Greg with the powerful beard.

[@ECD]

Nothing powerful about a little scruff lol

[@kguap8538]

Is heavy is the helmet compared to a cascade R?

[@jaynelson9543]

i love it, cascade is too small for my head so this one is great as it’s more customizable to your helmet size

[@ECD]

Totally agree the newer options are great for the game

[@jaynelson9543]

ECD Lacrosse yup, maybe when the new cascade comes out and if it’s made for bigger heads i’ll get it lol

[@Wheatoninak]

Curious how the fit compares with the same size Stallion? The XL Stallion feels tight for me, wondering if they’ve increased the sizing overall.

[@ECD]

I'm not sure. The best thing to do would be to go to your local store and try on the helmet.

[@BigMacJMU72]

Had the same issue Ben. The XL Stallion was too tight front to back, lots of forehead pressure. I'm still in search of a helmet for the bigger biscuits.

[@MrEstacioRiverside]

How’s the weight? One big gripe against the stallion was how heavy it was.

[@ECD]

Its definitely a heavier helmet but I don't think you really notice it playing

[@gabeb4374]

Im gonna have to use the Evo :( not that bad but my huge head fits better in the S than the XL Evo

[@ECD]

When it comes to helmets, having it fit properly is so important

[@tigerhopkins7583]

I would get one I already have an s

[@mason470]

Sick vid again the rival is way better than the stallion

[@ECD]

Agreed! I wonder how many teams will be rocking these in the spring

[@tatetempleton2133]

Man greg looks like peyton manning with the red forehead when he takes the helmet off

[@ECD]

Haha can't say I've ever heard that before.

[@joemoyer7739]

I wore a stallion 500 for 2 years and then changed to the cascade R than S

[@joemoyer7739]

Best decision of my life, your head feels like gravity is crumpling it up like a ball of paper in the stallion 500

[@jayronemartinez3679]

Should of have mentioned Cornell's helmets!!

[@ECD]

Whoops, our bad

[@masongarth4161]

this looks like it could be a football lacrosse helmet do your think a football team could rock these greg ?

[@ECD]

I don't think a football team would rock these but they are made with schutt who is one of the top helmet manufactures in football

[@mitchellbreza6524]

Cpx-r will always be the best

[@ECD]

Agreed!

[@reesele5435]

Its a nice helmet

[@ECD]

It's sweet!

[@andrewbrown7976]

Wasn’t the “old” stx stallion a schutt helmet also?

[@ECD]

Technically yes

[@gavinolvera5124]

Do you guys sell the helmet decals?

[@ECD]

We don't, Pro athletics makes all of our decals

[@gamerbreadbaker]

1:15 hah lol his background is a game.

[@ECD]

Just a cool photo!

[@gamerbreadbaker]

thx for replying but still... looks like a game. Keep making content!

[@MikeCollinsCinemaMercantile]

Ok how do I get one of the crab stickers for my Jeep??

[@ECD]

This would be perfect for the jeep, below is a link to our ECD car decal www.ecdlax.com/store/p54/car-decals.html

[@kevinsullivan5862]

did he really just say it was different from the Rs... theyre almost identical

[@kylesanders2608]

I’m not a fan of the Rival, yet almost any helmet looks good with a white mask in my opinion.

[@ECD]

Really, the white is so sick

[@bwil1000]

Prefer to the Cascade which has gotten to long. Like the more rounded lines. Not sold on the facemask though.

[@ECD]

If somehow they could only combine bits and pieces of each helmet we would be dialed in

[@michaelmorozyuk2761]

I heard Greg is playing in the new league?

[@ECD]

I would love to strap the cleats up for any team will to give me a chance

[@hon4060]

Rivals pretty hot not quite cavalcade though

[@ECD]

Truth the cascade line is tough to top

[@scottmccaig6185]

looks moire Duke blue than Columbia blue

[@datboy36.hotmail]

spell more right next time bud

[@ECD]

I agree but regardless it is a really cool color, I wish their customizer gave you a better picture of the true color.

[@alexheckler931]

I went from the cascade S to the rival and I hate the rival. Not as comfortable

[@ECD]

Really, sounds like something you may want to put the other helmet on sidelineswap

[@alexheckler931]

ECD Lacrosse it’s a school helmet

[@kodakblack6643]

How could I make my cascade S bigger ? Especially in the top back... and yes I’ve loosened it all the way and even took out the velcro pads

[@ECD]

I would contact cascade directly for that matter

[@cooperreed6127]

At least we’re not talking about the boys Latin helmets

[@ECD]

True that is always a bonus, equipment aside these guys can ball

[@donnychambers9405]

Cascade s is the best burn is the second best and this is last

[@robertsmith6269]

He sounds like ikf

[@JBeastGaming-rw6zb]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@gabeb4374]

Also the Rival looks like a cricket helmet, tell me im wrong

[@ECD]

They do!

[@jesseveno422]

No matter what helmet Ohio State uses they always look dope

[@ECD]

That is true, they usually keep it simple which is always a clean look

[@nathanvault1524]

Second

[@jackschull6210]

It looks like a baseball batting helmet

[@ECD]

Another person said it looked like a cricket helmet lol

[@ckauffman]

head on over to paul rabbis channel and he will show how to open boxes

[@ECD]

On it!

[@ShowoutKyle]

my highschool team became an official sponsored school sport this year so we get new jersey’s and team helmets. Buttttttt their making us wear stallions 🤢🤢 i have an S that i wore for the school last year and the guy who runs it says i can’t use it during the season L

[@ECD]

Ouch! But on the other hand you guys can set the bar high for the program. #Hardworkpaysoff

[@craigbrothers3992]

A little tight on my forehead.(forehead is bright red)

[@ECD]

Once we got it adjusted it was better but I really like my S but the burn helmets would be my second pick

[@joeyhilburg3316]

not a fan

[@ECD]

Why so?

[@SWog617]

I wore a Bacharach... it barely protected my melon. No parent nowadays would let their kid wear something so chincy.

[@ECD]

Fun fact, they used to located a few building behind our HQ

[@jondoe1916]

That’s an expensive helmet.

[@ECD]

They are pricey

[@jondoe1916]

I’m new to the sport. I’m actually in a wheelchair and started playing wheelchair lacrosse. So I’m looking into the gear and everything leads me back to ECD! Love this channel and can’t wait to see future videos.

[@declanlarm1591]

The only issue is that helmet UGLY

[@ECD]

I wouldn't call it ugly, but their still room for improvement.

[@declanlarm1591]

@@ECD True it's definitely better than the stallion but nowhere near cascade
