Actually isn't the K4 the Titanium-facemasked Revolution?
Oh, and yeah, I would get a CPX over it. Cascades have always been better helmets in my experience. Check around the internet and Google it if you really want to get one though, but I think you would have to get one off the internet.

You can find info at Riddelllacrosse.com and the K4 is an updated version of the regular revolution. They changed the facemask material and design. So its lighter and the bars are slightly different. The K4 has a regular facemask at $180 and a titanium facemask one at $260. The titanium one has been out for almost a year but the regular facemask one is supposively available now but no one knows for sure. So call up Riddell's distributor, Shamrock on Riddell's website. And the Riddell K4 has the most protection of any helmet available, just sucks that it wont vent correctly because the air bladder is in the way of the vents and its heavy. So if you want protection and good fitting then take the K4 if not then get a CPX. Most people say it sucks becuz its ugly and heavy but honestly Cascade C Pros and CPX are not as great as many thinks. Alot of flaws in its design.

there is a K4 and a K4T, they are the same helemt, but one has a ti face. I have the Ti helmet, and its real light not much more than a CPX. The new model that USA is wearing is even lighter than mine. They lightened the padding, but they didnt sacrafice protection. they also changed the mask and visor connection slightly, but its not a major differnce. Honestly, its more comfortable than a CPX, and if you head is bigger thn a M but smaller than a L this helmet is perfect due to the air chamber. I have pics of mine in my webshot. I may put up a review laTER.
