Just got my mask wrapped by JF Aumais. 

Brodeur mold. 

Images are from paintings done by my sister

I know he uses cages from Otny.

Came in today. Theodore mold

How do you like it?

How long did it take from ordering to receiving?

Thanks!

I've overlayed the Sportmask cheater cage in blue over the Otny cheater cage in silver.

Looks like the bars just to the outer side of your eyes are further to the side for the Otny.  Obviously the center bars are wider apart on the Otny.  However, I put up a couple of chopsticks where I suspect the Otny center bars will be and I didn't find it to be in the vision at all.

The lowest horizontal bar for the Otny looks lower as well, providing a less concentrated lower area.

If I don't like it, I'll just buy Sportmask cage and replace.  The Otny cage comes with stainless steel clips and screws, and neoprene washers....so it seems to be great quality.

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I’ll have to send him the cage measurements.

I’m not sure where he gets his cages.

I contacted him.  He uses Otny cages.  I decided to roll with that.

Thanks for the info. I might try to get him to fit a Sportmask cheater cage on it (I like the openings better) and I know that a CCM cage can fit on those (someone on here once showed that), so he could likely make it work.

  Edit: Found the post:

Please let me know how that goes. I'd like to do the same. Do you know where he gets his cheater cages from?

He told me 35 to 38 weeks right now, so I've pulled the trigger fully aware that I won't get it for 8 - 9 months. He's still working full time from the sound of it. 

About a month ago, he said 40-42 weeks for me when I first ordered. Looks like the wait is shrinking for me orders

OceanMon, there’s a short video clip in my first post.

I missed that. Thanks!

Can you make a video of the thing in action?  That would be sweet.

Ok, have to update now that I have a few skates in.  The Roughneck velcro is definitely lacking.  The EPF design is definitely superior there.  

Thanks for your input on this topic!

No real difference to be honest. I converted my G4 from the standard single to a floating T. If you were going to catch the puck in the pocket, it will stay in the pocket either way. I've never had pop outs if I line up the pocket with the puck.

Thanks for the feedback!

Has anybody had experience with playing with a glove before and after floating T?  Any noticeable differences?  Recommended?

Does the foam that comes installed work well or do people recommend replacing with Maltese?

Cool thanks!  Will check it out!

Did you end up figuring out how to remove it?

Any idea what the best foam for masks are these days for protection?

Thanks for all the responses!  So interesting. 

I was using an RBK 9K chest protector tucked into RBK 11k pants. I used the front buckles to pull up the pants and connect to chesty.  I added a buckle in the back to connect the chesty to pants. Worked for me. 

I just got a Vaughn Epic 8800...was messing around with it. Ended up having it over my pants with the pants cinched up as tight as possible.  Felt way more mobile twisting my body from side to side. 

Hi there,

I've been using my internal belt for my pants and also loops that connect it to my chest protector.

I'm looking to potentially move to a new chest protector and pants, but am unsure how things are done these days.

What are people rocking in terms of keep their pants on and up these days?  Thanks for the tips.

Could you wear an Aegis without a dangler and feel that it's enough protection?

I'm also curious about the answer to this. Thanks

I think you are referring to a post I contributed to. Mask padding might influence more the risk of concussion than the weight itself. I was just comparing if all things were equal (padding, geometry, material of the shell), except the weight. Unfortunately, Mask of different weight even from the same brand come with different padding material which makes comparing impossible outside of true impact testing.

The strength of your neck muscle as well as the way you position your head prior to a hit would affect how much your head would get accelerated by a shot. My son was given the advice to tuck his chin more into his chest and it reduce the feel of the impact by a lot. It increase the rigidity of the neck by tensing the anterior muscle of that area.  He would still feel it badly if he gets hit while looking around a screen. 

I am really not sure if the slight advantage of a heavier helmet for impact would be offsetting the disadvantage of the additional strain it could cause on the cervical spine. So there are probably other factors that are maybe more important than the weight your helmet alone.

I hope this help.

Hi Patrick

Thanks for your message. 

I have been contemplating on how I could reduce the chances of concussion....and I could only come up with trying to avoid the puck.   I read somewhere that I should try to get it square in the cage to distribute the impact.  Makes sense, but also seems crazy. 

Your tip of tucking in the chin makes a lot of sense as the head and body would act together as one body of inertia.  Thanks so much for this. 

Anybody have experience with both a Coveted and a Protechsport mask?  How do they compare?
