dstew29 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Finally picked up my old Promasque Classique (circa ‘98) from my parents garage. Was thinking about getting a brand new mask but opted to go the “full refurbishment” route through Matty at Promasque. Just shipped it off today so should have back in a few weeks. Went with white powder coated pro cat eye and white straps. Will post “after”shots when it arrives. Ps - my brother did the paint back in high school! Not bad at the time and free wasn’t bad either!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long did you use it before its slumber? That makes sense. I'd say 6-7 years tops. There is some very minor chipping at the outer edge of the mask near the ear holes but otherwise the shell looks to be very much intact. I opted to get it scraped and go back to a white canvas with white powder coated pro cat eye. I was initially just going to keep the polished stainless steel cage but after seeing a bunch of pro masks with it I really liked that look and changed. Although I'd love to get a brand new lid, I'm just getting back into it so I just went easy path for now. If I went new - I'd probably go Bauer VTX if retail or Warwick if custom.

itis121 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Does anyone know if the liner or shell changes between bauer NME fits? I think this has been asked before but can't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this has been asked before but can't find it. The shell definitely does so I assume the padding does as well. But apparently not the cages. Ever try putting an NME cage onto a Fit 1? It's absolute hell. I bet its really easy on a Fit 3 though. Edited July 27, 2018 by IPv6Freely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagoal Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 My recent Christmas present to myself was my mask paintjob. My team is the Yellow Jackets with all Boston colors. I was pretty pleased with the result. This was the first goalie mask the airbrush artist had painted. It isn't perfect, but I love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not as good as an X-ray, but a decent way to tell what the integrity is. Thanks, will give a once over once I have it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was recently trying masks in a store and fit 2 was too snug for me. The 960xpm med/lrg fit well though. Anyone have an idea if med/lrg 960 or 950 is comparable to NME fit 3?

Getting the cage on is a bitch. I end up using a couple really long screws (one on each side of the temple) to get it started, then put the shorter ones in once those are tight, and then I replace each of the long screws with a short one. I swear its like they make mask screws just one size too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started off with a fit 3 and when down to a fit 2 i wear a 7 3/8 or 7 1/2 fitted and it’s just too wide. Couldn’t make my cheeks touch the padding correctly I probably have more of a “Profile fit” Head, but now have the fit 2 dialed in. It awhile and some trial and error. really loving my VTX now.

cedy01 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Hey guys, so I recently got a concussion in my NME 10 (not sure what happened apart from two junior guys coming full speed smashing right into my my head). So naturally I’m looking for something more protective yet still light and comfortable. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two guys hitting you a full speed can do a lot of damage, sounds like something that could happen with any mask. Does your mask fit you well? That would be where I would start. I'm not that well versed with Bauer equipment, especially their masks, but I don't think the NME10 is a poor quality mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have data to say or prove anything is better or worse than an NME10 at concussion prevention. The NME10 is an NHL level mask worn by Holtby and Bishop. Bauer is also down to one mask factory and NHL guys are using Off Shore masks. There are no more Made in Canada pro department 961s. My advise... Does your mask fit well? If not... Maybe look at getting a custom padded or custom mask like Protechsport, Pro’s Choice, Masked Marvel ( @Joe Messina ) , or Warwick ETC If it fits good and the mask is not is structurally damaged after the hit... you might need to accept it’s the shitty part of the game and make sure to follow your Dr’s order for recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
