Pedantry does not a good community contribution make. And if I’m being honest, not all of your contributions have been gold. It’s not that you’re wrong in principle, it’s just that it could have been put in a much nicer, more helpful way, like “Oh - Looks like this is missing a title” or “hey - this might fit better in another section” and even - “hey mods - could you help out on this?” But maybe it’s just me.

loki1416 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 All I could really find was an ebay description: "Sturdy fiberglass resin type construction". When I looked up the maker (Olie sports), they are either perm closed or sorta open or something else. Was super confusing trying to figure out their status. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Larceny#30 Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 If any one else can help me I would like to find out about an olie 8000 mask what it is made out of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I would suspect that whilst the Olie could be repaired at home using either epoxy or polyester resin, unless I were to look it over, take a chunk and light it aflame, we have no idea what it is made of.

Chenner29 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Changed the subject line and moved the thread to the correct sub, but these things are ancient. The company hasn't been around for at least a decade, maybe two. I doubt anyone has any real tangible info on them. Sorry @Larceny#30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chile57 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Lots of disclaimers here but here goes nonetheless... Piecing together parts from above (and assuming they are accurate) and if I'm recalling these correctly - they were of the more affordable variety (not "cheap" but not trying to compete with Itech/Bauer's 960/961). At that rate - I'd guess they use polyester resin (which degrades over time). If they haven't been in business for at least ten years then whatever mask you have or are looking at is at least that old. Regardless of the construction (all fiberglass or some mix) - the resin would be the limiting factor. All that said - if I had one - I'd retire it. If I was looking to buy one - I'd skip it. Hopefully that's helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MangoRhinehart Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I think the 2000 was full kevlar, 5000 was fiberglass, kevlar reinforced and the 8000 was polycarbonate. How flexible is the mask? Smooth on the inside or bumpy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that's helpful. I think this is pretty much all that needs to be said. All Ollie masks are going to be at least a decade old by now. There are far better affordable options out there these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chile57 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 @Larceny#30 realize this thread is a bit dated but turned up this link from the Mod Squad BB... https://modsquadhockey.com/forums/topic/32796-olie-ma2000-pro-series-goalie-mask/ .. which essentially says - 2000 = fiberglass/carbon fiber (if the user is to be believed). They also talk of cracking and whatnot. I know you were talking 8000 so somewhere else I found the 8000 being a ringette mask (which might loan to the point above with it being polycarbonate). Regardless - I stand by my I'd skip it assessment. Just thought I'd throw this in there in case they next body has the same question and does a search.
