I've always wanted one, and who knows how long Michel will be making them. It's one of those things that I would absolutely kick myself over if I were to lose my chance to have one. I was just in the middle of emailing him about stopping by, but I wanted to come here first and see what the protocol was. Does he work weekends? Does he create molds for customers, or is that something you're supposed to handle yourself? I just don't want to be inconsiderate and write him an email asking if I can come by and have him do a mold if that's not how things work, etc. Please let me know, thanks! Stackem I responded on your Montreal visit thread! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was good with me coming by on a Sunday on my way home from a Montreal trip. But that was just to pick up a cage. Just send him an email.

But that was just to pick up a cage. Just send him an email. Looks like I'm all set to stop by his shop on Sunday for a fitting! I'm pretty excited. I've been drooling over Protechsport masks since I was a kid (whether I knew it or not). I wanted to spring for one back in 2011, but my old mask (an Olie) got absolutely demolished, and I couldn't wait for a Protechsport. So I bought a Hackva instead. But I always wanted a Protechsport, and since I started visiting goalie boards like this one and the GSBB, I've become all too aware that a craftsman like Michel won't go on making masks for ever, and that his masks are (relatively) custom to each buyer, based on the shape/sizing. So I feel like this is my chance to make an investment in my own long-term gear happiness. Edited October 5, 2017 by stackem30 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know about Michel for sure but I do know that both Malerba and Cubberly both do molds, or did in Cubberly’s situation. I’d bet Doganieri does too.

Drew37 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 My Brodeur model. Easily the best gear purchase I have ever made. Thinking of repainting it white with the Cheevers style stiches just so I can move from navy gear. I hate not matching to the point I stiched a Bruins logo onto a St. Louis style jersey just so I could represent my team while matching my gear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew37 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Case in point. Same mask just with some inventive duct tape work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I really wish he had the new CCM shell. I love the aethics of the new shell, but I want to support Michel! He padded my current one, maybe I will send it in for re-pad at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPEA Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Here is my matte white Brodeur shell Protechsport mask. The mask arrived today after long wait, but the waiting was definitely worth of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d bet Doganieri does too. Michel won’t need to do a mold if you visit, he will fit you live using a reference shell. He has a copy of each shell and can size you up pretty quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst not making up for the rust that has occurred over the last 9 weeks, the masque was not a distraction. The mask did not make me play worse; my illness made me play poorly from all the rust!!!!! I could see perfectly out of the masque. It is light and balanced. It fits PERFECTLY. The ONLY drawback is the wait and sometimes the wait does get extended without much notice, but the quality and price makes up for those factors. Or you could say there is no such thing as free lunch. Just have something okay to tide you over for your seven months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew37 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Yeah it's a long wait, but the results speak for themselves. Like I've said before, best purchase I've ever made gear related. I don't have any particular brand loyalty. I've tried many different brands from Vaughn to Bauer to Brian's etc. When anyone asks me to pick my favourite pads or gloves I always have a couple different answers. I only have one answer for best mask. Nothing beats Protechsport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife will kill me, but soon I will be ordering a spare fibreglass masque from Protechsport as I can’t bear to think that my CCM fibreglass helmet may not be the safest thing compared to a Protechsport. Yes- I have abandoned the combo. I should have done that awhile ago when I got pinged in the jaw. If Shawn (Kustom Composite) gets back going, I will probably have him flesh out an experiment we had discussed.

The chin isn't as huge as it shows on that image. You can see the true size of the chin on the first image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
