Mike24 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 That’s an awesome piece. What would you think a well used one is worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the cheapest I've seen one go for is high hundreds. i believe that had the foam replaced with rubatex and was far from mint. This one looks unused. Double ear vents too. So, so rare. This mask would top my list for sure. But I don't have $6k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalline Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 i've never really looked this closely at an Armadilla, but this is a really ingenious way to run the chin strap through the mask and as to minimize the hardware needed on the inside of the mask (so that it is as safe as possible). I do recall how he would never/rarely have padding on the ears. pretty interesting. Simple is often the best solution. today's mask makers should take note.

Mike24 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 My cousin’s. He’s been kicking around the idea of selling it. He’s had it since early 00’s I believe. I told him I’d try and do some research on what it’s worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 PM me if hes looking to sell. I probably wouldn't pay a ton considering it looks like only the shell is good. PM though for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aircanuck Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I'm guessing someone is going to grab this as a collector's item, but try finding a goalie that ever received a concussion or any sort of injury while wearing this mask. The guys that wore them never went back to the mainstream style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aircanuck Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Still the safest mask 25 years later, I put my career on it. You going to lower your price if we find a way to get Don to start making them again? Just kiddin', this will always be a collector's piece, regardless.
