hey does anyone know where i can get a women's colored goalie helmet? Also..what are the best types of goalie sticks out there?

You can custom order a Cascade, Brine, Gait or Warrior helmet through a local lacrosse store. If you dont have a lax store nearby, many places will do them like www.lax.com and www.lacrosseunlimited.com. There are no goalie specific helmets, but you need to buy a throat guard for proper protection if your playing goalie.

define "women's colored goalie helmets"...all goalie helmets are normal field helmets with throat guards installed, they're all 'unisex' so to speak and colors can be custom ordered from just about any online retailer, I got mine from lacrosse unlimited (http://www.lulax.com)

There isnt really a "womans colored" helmet. All men's helmets can go on a womans head for goalie play. You just need to get the sizes right, which isnt difficult for a Cascade CPX, as you can have interchangeable foam inserts to adjust the size to your liking. Just buy a regular helmet such as that, And than you will need a throat guard to make it legal for goalie play. A C2 throat guard installes easily, and fits on most cascade helmets.

On the goalie stick matter, It is all personal preference. For womans lacrosse, something lightweight would probably be preffered. The STX Eclipse and the Warrior Nemisis are the 2 most used goalie heads, for good reasons. The STX eclipse is extremely lightweight, One of the lightest goalie heads you can buy. It is pretty flimsy though, in my expierience, and nonoffset. The nemesis is Offset, meaning it has better handling and ball control, and i find it to be far less flimsy than the eclipse, meaning 5 hole saves and hard shots are easier to handle without your head bending in half. But the Nemisis is also a little bit heavier, but that has never really bothered me. Shafts dont really matter. Something lightweight and cheap will get the job done. A Gait Db803 or a Warrior Kryptolyte are both good, strong and lightweight shafts. THey are also relatively inexpensive.

Go to Cascade's website and you can order directly from them... and a good stick... the one that i use is a STX Gaurdian with 12d monster on a STX Axe c405 goalie shaft

Go to http://www.arccloseouts.com/lacrosse.htm and get a CPX... any colors you want.
for a stick, i like both the eclipse and the nemises with 12D... and a Gait DB803

not to be a jerk, even though i am, didnt you goalies complain abiut not having a forum for this kind of stuff...

[stinisonfire]

Well to answer your question... I'm confused. Are you saying that we need a forum for these kind of questions? Well in that case, we do.

But on the other hand, I think this question should have been in the equipment forum. Or a search could bring up anything on CPro's, helmets, CPX's, whatever.

Theyre mostly used in Box/Indoor leagues, the shape makes it suitable to smother the 5-hole.
