Anyhow - some feedback/observations... I would have been totally comfortable wearing it protection-wise but it just didn't seem to fit quite right. Almost like it pinched my melon a bit in the upper dome area. Finish was not immaculate - not necessarily sloppy or anything but just saying for the price point a little bit of you get what you pay for (and why guys like Michel at Protechsport charge so much for a "pro" finish on the interior of the mask: time = money). If the fit would have worked out - I wouldn't have hesitated to wear it or buy another one. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larceny#30 Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 Ok so you didn't get the 962 it is a wider fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chile57 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Right - same construction, padding, etc. and all going from 962 to MMX just slightly different shell sizes (same shapes though). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irbe01 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I used a Fusion 962 for several years. The protection was top-notch. I never had any type of a stinger using it. It fit my head well, but I noticed that the shell itself was very long (I believe I had a large) and would sometimes interfere with my chest protector. Not too much of an issue, but could be a little annoying at times. Like chile57 said above, the fit and finish was not great. Nothing too serious, but it just looked like the interior was kind of slopped on. I ended up replacing it with an OTNY CC from GoalieParts.com. The back edge of the shell started to fray on the 962 after a few years. I thought about trying to get it fixed, but decided to get a new mask instead. The 962 is also a pretty heavy, but it is not really an issue while wearing it. All that being said, I don't know if you are going to find a better mask for that price. I would not hesitate to buy another one someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
