That looks great! I'm curious as to what options are available, apart from the head measurements and mask layup. Can you get a longer chin or sides?

London’s Source for Sports has a decent sale on their Sportmasks, including the top end Pro 2i and 3i. Good deal for such new masks if people are in the area and like a stock mask.

Infinity Goalie is shutting down so they're selling equipment and sticks at a discount: https://infinitygoalie.ca/

I'm really liking the ability to custom tailor the height of the neck guard. Often I see neckguards that do not cover the Adam's apple, which is an important area to protect, so have such a tall guard with the ability to easily trim it down looks great.

Looks great! Did Greg do the face mold or yourself? Also, if you've finalized all the details it would be great if you could post them!

I got the gel on my chest protector in the last 7 months and while I haven't opened it up to see, I believe that is likely EcoPROFoam and the 'gel' terminology is left over from when they used Maltese.

Nice to hear that you like the fit of the FT2's so much. Looks like True/VH finally have a serious competitor in the custom-fitted skate marketplace, which means better options for us!

Yeah makes sense. I would have to contact them directly to see what options are available and the current pricing.

Cool, thanks for the info. I would probably prefer going the custom route or at least getting some custom options like lengthening the sides.

Is it custom molded for your face or just a stock version? If so I assume there is an upcharge for custom.

It's also cut and sew instead of printing like Bauer (not sure which one is more expensive), but the base price is very different: JRZ full set is $2150 CAD and Bauer pads alone are $2000 CAD with the full set being $3070 CAD according to Hockey Monkey Canada. Obviously they use different technologies and big companies like Bauer are going to charge more because of all the ancillary stuff (advertising, sponsorships, R&D, warranty, etc.) but the JRZ gear appears to be a very good deal nonetheless.

Here's the reveal of the Fusion FZ-1: https://jrzglobalsports.com/goalie-equipment-fusion-fz-1?fbclid=IwAR1q9k6oy2M8_QZiUOVeVeIAO8jOlCkXSbtY7kw8Rcwt0wyKx6yZb8JrpgM I like the look of this glove a lot more than the PZ-1, but I'm biased so I prefer one piece gloves.

If only I had $1800 USD to drop....

Didn't specify as far as I can see. You'd probably have to contact GolieParts to find out.

Anyone gonna get a new mask from the limited run by Greg Harrison from Goalieparts? https://goalieparts.com/products/custom-harrison-goalie-mask-deposit.html Seems like a pretty rare opportunity, and of course it's a premium price for a premium product.

I can only answer the last question: from what I recall on others' postings, the black foam is more of a comfortable foam than the cream. I too would like to know how many options for cages there are -- can one order any cage available from OTNY (I think they supply him)?

Thanks for the info. I guess the guy in the photo either has a prototype of the second line or has connections...

@TheGoalNet do you have any insider info on whether it is possible to order a different glove from JRZ? For me, the two-piece glove and break is not my preference. (Couldn't edit my original post for some reason) Yeah...

Looks like a different glove than the Prime PZ-1. I assume it's one of the old Bauer models: Normal PZ-1:

No cheek padding in the VX-5; Stalock spec??

Can't see anything playing in Chrome browser.

Great review, this should help a lot of people deciding between these brands.

Yes, you can see it here. Coveted also copied it for their masks though made the cutout a bit wider.

It's interesting that some Sportmask's have the cutout on the backplate so it doesn't dig in as much, and others, like the Pro3i, do not.

I don't yet need a new mask, but man you guys are making it difficult!
