Possibly but it looks like there are three layers there, here's the stock ve8 with only two but it could just be the angle of the picture Actually I think you're right it is just the binding and the first layer making it look like two

Interesting mod for shesty, looks like a Vaughn V9/V10 knee pad with dual VE8 thigh caps

Pretty sure Luongo was in some variation of these up until he retired

I still use the koho 589 swiss knee pads with the carbon plate removed because I love the knee padding and the neoprene calf lock so much. Martin Jones used the same setup at one point, not sure if he still does https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/goalie/accessories-other/4817977-martin-jones-custom-knee-pads

This is genius @Chenner29 I didn't even know this was possible but always hated how it looked, going to have to request this on my next set

They're a standard terry cloth. I tried one of my vogel bamboo sweatbands but went back to what came with the mask.

I like the black foam much better, it is much softer than the beige. if I were to order again I would go with the black foam in both.

Hey @WannabeGoalie kind of a hard measurement to get without pulling the cage but it was about 5.08" across the cheekbone pads and my head size is about 22.5", I wore a medium in a 960 and a CCM. I went with the head mold and it came out great but Michel did mention that sometimes it can be tricky. What was off with your last one? Was it too big?

@Hyper180 Absolutely, the first is pretty representative of the texture on the interior. Unless you are really looking for it it looks perfect. Here's the inside of the white mask for reference. I'm extremely happy with these after about 3 months. The paint/clear-coat is holding up great there are no chips at all. I can't recommend these enough I'm sure you'll be very happy. Make sure to post some pics when you get yours.

@chile57 yeah exactly it is navy, that's the one I'll be using the most since it matches my pads and team colors. Probably be looking to get that one wrapped or just a big team vinyl logo and leave the white one as is.

My first protechsport masks, ordered in January and just showed up this weekend. Fichaud mold, full kevlar, chin cup, interior polish, and hidden harness. I'm extremely impressed with the build and the fit is perfect.

Thanks man, I've kept an eye out for cut resistant clothing that would have prevented it. So much of the hockey specific stuff seems to focus on the calf/achilles tendon area, IMO goalie specific cut protection should go the whole length of the calf, back of knee, and up at least half the hamstring. Only stuff that looks like it would work would be speedskating or skiing pants but those have way more than is necessary. I still play without any extra protection, chalk it up to a once-in a lifetime freak accident (that's how statistics works right?) I'd love to see some goalie specific cut protection with a strip of aramid all the way up the back of the leg.

I was in some CCM P2 33+1", here are some side-by-side shots for comparison. They're approximately the same size, I lined up the knee blocks. Hard to do a 1:1 comparison because the boot angle is different and the 20.2s are much straighter.

My worst was 2006 in my first year of juniors someone skated over the back of my leg after I got knocked down to the ice, completely sliced my left hamstring to the bone. Was able to get back on the ice after about 6 months but the muscle has still never fully recovered. More recently, few years ago I tore my left groin then a pretty bad sprain again a year later, I've since started taking my pre-game warm-ups way more seriously, stationary bike, stretching, foam-roller, etc... as well as some of Maria Mountain's off-ice groin strengthening workouts and knock on wood have been injury free for a while.
