I know this reply is coming in a year late, but thought I'd post for others who might have a similar question.  I tried on a Medium sized T3 in store to test the fit of these masks because I have a wider face so the tall-thin Bauer design didn't fit and the NME and CCM masks were out of stock at the time. The Mask fit me great (even though I went in thinking I needed a Large) and ultimately I purchased a Pro 3i in size Medium.

The fit of the mask was identical between the T3 and Pro 3i except for the backplate.  The T3 had a longer backplate needed to achieve HECC/CSA certification, and when I tilted my head back, it hit my neck and pushed the mask down over my eyes.  I talked this through with SportMask directly when I purchased my Pro 3i from them (with custom color, straps and foam chin cup) and they mentioned that since it is not a certified mask, it comes with a "pro" backplate which is shorter. When I received it, the mask fit was perfect (same as T3) and the pro back plate eliminated the issue just as they said.  

The quality of the Mask is fantastic and the customer service was exemplary. Can't recommend this model or this company highly enough. 

Thanks so much for this insight!  I've been looking for an answer to this question/excuse to drop more money on a mask for months.  Even the manufacturer wouldn't give me a straight answer on how the T3 (which I have and love) compares to the Pro 3i.  If the fit is identical, then I'm pretty much sold. 

I guess my only other issues are the comparison of the mask shapes and weight difference (if any) between the two - is there a noticeable difference between the shapes/weights of the two masks?  I honestly can't tell the difference from photos.  I also like the short chin on the T3 because it doesn't really get caught on my shoulder floaters when I rotate my head.  Any concerns there?

Hi all!  I stumbled across this topic and  figured I might as well introduce myself.  I'm a low-level rec league goalie playing in the Pacific Northwest.  I started playing hockey a few years ago, when I was a spry, young 42 year old (although I've watched hockey religiously since I was 12 or so).  This is the first organized sport I've ever played, and I'm completely hooked.  

Has anyone seen SHIFT replacement steel for the TF9s on sale anywhere?  I'd like to get another set and rotate blades/have a replacement in hand in the unlikely event that I manage to break one.  No one seems to stock it currently, and True customer service has been non-responsive.   TIA!
