I would consider it mid-level and suggest you do better than that. Guessing that's going for around $250ish...if you can go $400. Talk to Dennis @ OTNY and get a certified X1 Kevlar for $400 USD. He will even get your measurements and custom pad it to give you the best fit. Trust me on this, its worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoalieInTheDesertYT Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I talked to the person selling the helmet. He said he played college level hockey. I think the helmet should hold up at my level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoalieInTheDesertYT Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 It’s not a normal 950x it has eco foam and I heard eco foam is just like Maltese. I feel the protection should be better than medium 35 minutes ago, jayluv54 said: I would consider it mid-level and suggest you do better than that.

So just because one dumb ass, who probably had no idea wtf he was talking about, told you he used it in "college" hockey you're just going to assume everything is fine and dandy and roll with it anyway? Don't come crying to us when you get a concussion. Its not a mask for "high level" competition. If you can't afford it then tell mom and dad that your brain is not something to cheap out on. Tell them it is an early Christmas present if that'll get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaveByRichter35 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I don't know, I have no experience with any of Bauer's gear. I would go with what was already suggested to you. If you can't come up with an extra $150 ask your parents and tell them to get you one or two less Christmas presents. You'll be far better off.

How long is the turnout for OTNY? I need my mask ASAP. I’m going to get a job so I can shell out more money and just pay my parents back. I was thinking abt picking up the nme 10 or maybe something 400$ on SidelineSwap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure we even have anyone on the board associated with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieB29 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 @Goalieinneed Masked Marvels is the best of the best. You need a good helmet if you want to keep playing hockey. I suggest you spend more money and get a Masked Marvel, talk to Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found some a wall v8 for 550$ along with what seems like some good sportmask masks for around the same price. update: the wall mask fits close to a Bauer fit 2 which is the size I need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't necessarily need a certified mask once you graduate high school, which if you're 17 is only a year or so away. I would consider as well these: https://www.thegoaliecrease.com/index.php/products/product/2592-sportmask-f-series They are a great deal for the price, which is in CAD, so it would be a steal for you (~300 USD). However, if you were to go this route I would definitely ask them if they have a certified-type cage that would fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely just shoot them an email to ask if they have the certified cages because getting another's brand's cage to fit is usually a lost cause, and at the same time ask which one would fit best for you. Honestly, to me this seems like one of the best deals at the moment. You could also email info@sportmask.com to ask if they make the certified cages for those models.
