Sportmask Thread


Recommended Posts

So my nephew has found out that the red harness won’t match his new team. 

He was hoping to get a grey or silver harness. Goalieparts is not able to do that  does anybody know where I could look? 

Thanks

After 10 seasons, my hackva mask is finally on its last legs. I have been looking at possible replacements, and the Mage RS caught my eye.

I was curious as to what those of you who've won the mask think about it. I was also curious as to if you think it would be an upgrade over the old hackva, or if you would recommend other options.

For a bit of perspective, I play in low-level beer leagues, and I'm looking to spend around $500 at most.

Sportmasks and Protechsports are the way to go on a lower budget.

While waiting for my new OTNY Combo mask I found a good deal on a used Mage RS 2014 and I’ve used it three times and love it. 
 

It is a bit forward heavy according to some but I don’t mind it.

So after shopping for a goalie mask I've come to a stand still.  I know @TheGoalNet said earlier in this thread that sportmask and protechsport are the best mask on a budget. However up here in Canada the new sportmask Pro3i is 950$ and bauers 960 and VTX are 999$, so the difference is negligible. Are Bauers masks that much better than a sportmask? or is sportmask better than Bauer? I keep hearing mixed reviews as to which one is better.  Hopefully someone can give their input.

You get fanboys from both sides. That being said, both brands are/have been used in the show. Both brands have past the standards imposed by government. Difference I see, if you have an issue with the 3i, you can shoot Tony an email or pm and he is most likely to answer and help you 1 on 1. You have an issue with the Bauer, visit your pro shop and good luck getting direct feedback from the manufacturer.

Sportmask just launched a .ca domain with no mention of custom (still on their .com website) but they now include the option of getting an EcoProFoam kit installed from the factory in a new mask or you can order the kit on it's own (they're owned by Goalieparts I believe). This seems like a nice option for people who prefer Sportmask over OTNY mask but still want the improved foam.

Those are fantastic paint jobs, wow, who did them? Also, any chance you could put the left one in the pic on you and show a side profile? Ive always wanted to know how close a face can get to the bars on that model, thanks for sharing!

I have a friend that has a hydrographics business. I did all the prep work he did the final painting, dipped them and sprayed the clear coat. Here’s a side shot. I just got this one. It’s ready for some time in the blue paint.

Thanks for the pic, really appreciate it. Ive been on the fence for getting one of those for a few years as im in a custom Olympia Composite but its getting narrow in the cheeks lately, lol.  Are you in a chin cup or sling there?

The stock Sportmask chin cup.

What do you have on your dangler there?  That black lining looks custom.  Sound muffling purpose?

Car door edge trim yes I’d deadens the rattling sound quite a bit.  First time I mentioned that I was using it ( on another BB ) about 13 years ago I was told it wouldn’t hold up… been using it ever since.

So I got me a X8 mask (cert. cage). Fit is good but not like a glove of course. Not going the custom route for now.

My issues/concerns are: my nose touches the front bars. Anyone else? And the chin cup is thinner than I expected. Anyone suffer a cut upon impact?

Your nose should not be touching the cage.

Loosen the backplate to see if it improves.  If it doesn't you should get a larger size
