  1. Okay, I normally wouldn't post a response to myself eight months later but I think it is important to share information and opinions about gear with each other to help us make intelligent choices. This is especially true for the lesser known brands that don't have many reviews from actual users. So I have had some time to use my Coveted 906 helmet on ice in my men's league hockey game which includes a mixed level of shooters. The helmet is comfortable and fits well and the sweat band is effective at keeping the sweat from my bald head from running down into my eyes. I do find that my Vaughn V8Pro Carbon chestie and the chin clash a bit when trying to turn my head far right and left. Also, I bought the standard cage which can appear in your field of vision from time to time. It's no big deal to someone at my level but higher level goalies might want to check other cage options. But the real question is how does it perform when you get hit, and for that I had to wait a while. Having had some significant head shots over the last few weeks I can now report that the helmet stood up to moderate impact shots without any ill effects giving me full confidence in it's ability to stop the puck and protect my head from injury. And I should probably work on my glove hand....
  2. Just bought a Coveted certified 906 in white with the straight line cage off the shelf at HockeyMonkey today. I recently started playing again after about 15 years and I noticed that my old Itec Profile 2000 didn't fit very well. While looking it over to see what adjustments could be made I found the born on date of the unit was 9 of 1998 so I figured it was time for an upgrade. Can't comment on the on-ice performance yet but it is a great fit and seems pretty comfortable. It feels pretty solid even though it"s a fair amount lighter than my Itech. I was looking at the Bauer 950 as well but Coveted seemed a bit more substantial than the Bauer and it fit better. Once I've had a chance to use it on ice I'll post back with my experiences and impressions as they apply to "beer league" hockey.
