All it would require is a denser pattern of wires to reach the certified standard. Even with a full certified pattern, the thinness of the wires could be a distinct visual advantage with no worry about sticks. Also could obviously be a weight saver. This is kind of what I was thinking too. If it's thinner and less likely to rust out that would be a huge upside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that argument plausible as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilyazhito Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I'll be monitoring this thing, because it seems very promising in tests so far. Thin bars that are long lasting will be revolutionary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the threads were to snap from impact, I don't think they would recoil the way we are expecting Paging our resident engineer @maxtm30 I’m guessing the wires would snap like a nylon/cotton thread, so split in two. This structure seems to be more resilient that a standart cage. I do not use a cat eye (I’m not cool I know) but traditional cages loose strength to more they bend. This product looks really promising, first time there is inovation in the goalie cage (except the SAW hardware Bauer put out with the Concept and NME one). The aesthetics are weird, but then again, look how we reacted to the 1s back in the day(or how a certain netminding guy reacted to the hyperlite in the mach thread). The guy from uncage might not be a goalie, but he could fine tune his design with some adjustments I guess. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's one, a failure where the single cord under tension is cut seems like it could be catastrophic as opposed to a single cord. I'm imagining a single cord failing and that whole single cord under tension unraveling and slicing you up pretty good. The wire is made from Dyneema, if I'm reading correctly, which is similar to Kevlar. I know you need some pretty sharp scissors to handle Kevlar. Would this stuff slice you up worse/deeper than a shard of steel? A single thread spreads the impact on a longer thread, so less tension overall when impacted. This might help actually. But it "looks" like multiple to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Boiss Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) The thing for me is that I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing one of these unless it was strung in the same pattern as a certified cage (no reason to use a pro cat-eye style pattern when the wire is that thin). I would also need to see the cage and mask stand up to serious abuse; shots from all angles, hitting every part of the wire and perimeter bar, at speeds well above what we would ever face, for an extended period of time. I'd also want to see how it stands up to getting smashed by sticks and skates; and I'd need to know more about how to inspect these for material fatigue, and what happens during the failure moment. Cost could also be an issue, if these requires regular replacement. Edited July 9, 2022 by CJ Boiss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
