dreadlocked1 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 https://goalieparts.com/products/eco-hockey-profoam-chin-sling.html Or something similar. You can get a small piece of leather-like material fir the backside and to help strengthen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckstopper Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Aren't you still in H.S? You may want to check your league's rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwarnar Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I would recommend ecopro as well. I used a sling from Wlzhed, Doug Wager, but the material frayed and got really worn from friction with my face stubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MangoRhinehart Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Ecopro is the way to go for a sling, if you are allowed to use one. Stands up very well to beards too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PadWrap or PadSkinz is great for this, with the added bonus of being able to color coordinate with your gear. The ECO padding has a bit of a stretch to it. You'll definitely want some kind of backing or it'll pull off the mask hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benner33 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 As an old guy returning to the position what are the rules / restrictions for chin slings and the reasons for them? Didn’t know there were any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itis121 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Has anyone tried or made a 1/4" rubatex as a chin sling (i would also back it with pad skins or jenpro)? I have a 1/2" peice that I still have to put together for my one of my HM30 slings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scythe Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Is this about a sling with no cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remove your chin cup that hangs from your mask, you're left with a chin sling, basically. The word "sling" is unfortunate, as nothing is hanging or suspended. A chin cup is more of a "sling" than a chin sling. There is a whole thread with tons of photos on here somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagoal is pretty much correct. A chin cup is technically more of a "sling" than a ching sling in the actual sense of the word. A chin sling is is more like a cradle. Your chin doesn't actually sit in the sling, its just kind of wrapped in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can depending on how the sling is set up. That particular one pictured looks like it is set up closer to the cage than both of my masks.

It just depends on how much material is used to make up the sling. If you have a bigger sling it will sit you closer to the cage. If you have a smaller sling, like I have, it sits you further back.

Well it would depend on how well the mask fits and how tight it is strapped, but most likely, yes. Chin cups typically sit masks higher and more forward than a mask would fit without one.
