Snowman30 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 A tip wih the leather ends is to find some snowseal or other beeswaxed bases leather protector it with soften them up and make them last a long time. I used snowseal and hair dryer on mine when I got them .The heat will melt the wax into the fibres and you don't have to worry about the leather getting damaged from moisture. I only did mine the one time and they still fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagoal Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Look what showed up at work today , just in time for my weekly pickup game tonight. Super impressed with the build and structural rigidity so far. The fiber on the inside is really nice to see and I'm even impressed with the sweatband, which is normally a disappointment out of the box, stock. This cage makes me so happy and the overall shape is great. The backplate clipping for the harness seems very foreign as a lifelong Bauer guy, but I'll adjust soon, I'm sure. Fits great right off the bat too after a minor chin cup adjustment to make it longer. The one disappointment is the pouch it comes in. No handle and very thin. I have an extra padded Bauer bag so that'll be this Sportmask's new home. Now, how should I paint it with these Sharpies?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I have a strap on the back of my chest protector that is for running through the loop of my pants.

itis121 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 WIP everything on the forehead is small so I got to make the eyes and vent graphic a bit larger and thicker. Miller is my favourite goalie, sad reality is that he might retire at the end of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i gave him my basic idea of what I wanted in each area of the mask and he put together a mock up and made a couple adjustments and he made a final mock up and then asked if he was good to go to print the vinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had mine done by SkinFX wraps like a year and a half ago and it's held up great, no issues with edges or anything. The only cosmetic damage so far was from a clapper I took between the eyes that pushed my cage up into the mask, so there's a little bit where the vinyl has been scrunched but it's behind the top of the cage and hasn't gotten any worse since it happened almost a year ago. Other shots off the mask have only left puck marks, nothing else. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what an anchor or floating anchor T is. It's a floating T. I think it just has to do with Brian's patent on the "Anchor T" branding. It's like a standard T but with rigid material to better keep the pocket open i.e. deeper pocket, less pop-outs, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
