TBB Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Does anyone know anything about Fusion Masks? They advertise as NHL level quality but for 499$ I am skeptical. Any knowledge on them would be appreciated. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwarnar Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Never used one... I know @Imperative has 1 or 2. Be very cautious with advertising... I know my Sportmask Pro 3, F Series, is in the same price range but not quite "NHL Level Quality." And how many NHL Level skaters are you going to be facing. The biggest thing when it comes to a mask is build quality and fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wox33 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I've used mine now for close to five years and it seems to be holding up well. I recently replaced the foams with ECOpro and that made it even more comfortable than it was previously. It's definitely a solid mask at the price point and I don't seem to have suffered any adverse effects from shots to the head as I have taken a few over the years. If you like the Itech 960 type mold masks it's worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chenner29 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Pretty sure Fusion was the company that was contracted to do Jerry Wright's 960/961s. Pretty old design, but still good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest thing when it comes to a mask is build quality and fit. I own a fusion 9961 and a 962 they are a really solid mask. The 9961 is a hydro dipped and the 962 has vinyl wrap. The biggest complaints I have seen is guys don’t like the stock paint as it has a tendency to chip and vent holes not a smooth as some guys like. For the money I think it is a good mask, very solid and I feel like my head is very safe wearing them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Had a 9961 for like a year out of desperation between Masks. old school design. Heavy layers of fiberglass. No protection issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayluv54 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I've had 2 fusion and 2 Bauer 961's. Couldn't tell a difference between the two and from what I understand they use same mold, materials, etc... They are legit pro masks. As far as NHL quality...no idea what that means, nor do I think that matters. The NME10 was being worn in the NHL for a while. I had one of those and the chin cracked from a mid-level beer league wrist shot and not just the gel coat...all the way through. The Fusion masks are a great value if you like 961 style masks. Might I also suggest OTNY as long as your in that price range. Better quality, service and custom fitting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doobiesnax Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'm pretty sure Fusion made all of Otny's shells prior to the Sportmask take over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scythe Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) I'm still using my Fusion GM2000 kevlar reinforced mask i got around 2009 that replaced my eddy gt. I wasn't so sure if i really liked it or not when I first got it but completely happy with it since. I like the shape .. and the triangular vent holes. Don't really want a Worf from Star Trek looking mask. Would like to get it refurbished. Will be contacting them soon about it. I know Toylene [may have spelled wrong] but she still works there since 2011 or longer, but they quickly reply Good masks.

The Teal Terror Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) That was my old bucket. Solid mask, I can vouch for them. Might want to adjust the foam to your fit, to all those considering this mask. I kept it standard, but after a few hours of play, headaches started to set it. But then again, it could of been my head scalf knot digging in Edited April 6, 2022 by The Teal Terror Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chile57 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I had a Fusion for a minute. Solid construction, a little sloppier on the finish. As mentioned by others - the foam as pretty stiff (even when it was brand new). Was not comfortable for me (so I jettisoned it) but otherwise I felt it was a good deal for the money.
