kerouacknew Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Hi, Im looking at buying a new mask. I was considering buying a Bauer nme 10 (I liked the fit) but have recently found an old Itech Jerry Wright 961 which was used in the OHL. Looks like the goalie it was made for played in 97. So about 20 yrs old. The mask has been refurbished and is in great shape. My question is What are people's thoughts on the old Jerry Wright mask's.? Still considered good compared to the new stuff? Im currently in a Protechsport which I've had for a few years. Just looking to try something new. Would love to hear a few opinions . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chenner29 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Still good masks. Obviously do a full inspection and make sure the shell is still in solid shape. The shell is probably heavier than your Protech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 NME10 will be on closeout in like 4-5 months, NME VTX is coming in 4-5 mo if that changes any decisions anyone have Jerry’s last known contact info for JAW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Messina Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 If you like, check out our Masked Marvel Goalie Helmet line of masks, the Assault model. The fit is unreal, comes with a lifetime warranty and extremely durable. www.maskedmarvelhelmets.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parebele Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Going back to the OP, I wouldn't trust any mask that's 20 years old. I have a bunch of Vaughn and Sherwood shells made by Van Veldon and while I would absolutely love to wear them, even the best resin degrades over time. Ultimately though, it's your brain. Is it worth the risk? Jerry is active on facebook, so your best bet would be to shoot him a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Maybe I misread this, but I thought Jerry has again retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that he's on facebook and still comments on others' posts. I don't know if he's retired or not. A few days ago he posted a comment on a Jamie Storr mask in the Game Used Goalie Masks group. I'm sure if the OP sent him a pm asking if it's safe to use the mask, he'd respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put it into perspective, I ripped out a Maltese kit and put the stock padding back in because it was more comfortable. So that’s my biggest fear about another companies masks - the padding. The NME has low density gel inserts in the padding. Style-wise, I like the shape of the NME/Profile. I find CCM and Vaughn masks to be horrible looking. Obviously fit and protection are more important than looks, but it’s still a consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyBum Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 @Joe Messina What's the difference between the Outlaw 2.0 and the Assault? And are the prices on the website CAD or USD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two masks along with our Assassin model are the pro line masks that we offer. The design, makeup and construction are incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
