Those are PLH helmets by LaxWorld. STX sells a lot through laxworld, yadda yadda, not too exciting.

STX will go into the helmet business by the end of next year..with their own helmet. I guarantee it.
They're not gunna fall behind and have warrior, gait, and brine all with helmets out.

Uhm...STX already has a stake in Gait helmets...AND are operating under far less capital than even Debeer at this point. Look at their limited line this year and their disastrous chain of new head releases. I wouldn't bet on STX developing a new helmet any time soon, not until their revenue increases.

Are you sure about this?
I can't quite figure out why the Gaits would have brought STX along for this ride. Especially considering that the Gait helmet is just a repackaged Itech hockey helmet with a laX facecage. The Gaits could have brought this to life without any help from STX

Which Gait produced them?
Gary Gait of STX
or
Paul Gait of Gait by DeBeer?

Gait, Gait, Gait: that's all I am hearing.
I agree that STX won't be doing anything too extreme until their revenues increase because of the folly releases. We shall see though...

I'm pretty sure that there is some connection between STX and Gait helmets because Maryland is sponsered by STX and wears Gait helmets.

I always thought that PLH was STX's helmet company like styke is to warrior.

I figured that was because Gait coached the women's team there, but that does make sense.
