So I wonder, does it really worth dishing out 500$CAD or should I go with a replica. And if I go with a replica, where can I get a good one. I have never seen a team wendy in person so it is hard to guess which ones are good.
Just a side note, I sweat like hell during each game, one reason I am interested in team wendy is their inner plastic padding.

The link that I listed above will be the best option for a budget military/bump helmet. The PT A-Bravo has EN 1385 (Watersports) and EN 12492
(Mountaineering) certification. Meaning that it provides adequate protection for Watersports and Mountaineering only. I have heard of people using
mountaineering helmets for back country skiing, however, the users run the risk of injury because of the different requirements for helmet certification.
I have used the PT A-Bravo for skiing before, however there is always a risk that it may not protect me adequately.
There are plenty of Technical/Outdoor companies that make "Tactical" versions of various helmets such as the Petzel Vertex Vent Mountaineering Helmet.
Team Wendy has a mountaineering helmet for SAR that features a NVG mount.
