Yeah, I've thought about one day inquiring about getting just a sheet of the stuff to cut to my custom dimensions, but the stuff is pretty pricey.

I could easily give them an exact tracing of the shape I need but I’m sure they don’t do that kind of thing. I tried with Maltese also - no luck.

I would definitely try it if I could get it custom shaped to my mask. 

I also see that they sell insoles. I've been waiting forever for Maltese to start selling insoles, but this may be the next best thing.

wich mask is the best ccm ice with d30 or bauer960xpm?

The one that fits you and is comfortable.

The holders actually are different between the player and goalie versions of our skates.

Are they? Everyone has been saying that they're the same holders. Can you tell us how they are different?

I agree, their site is frustrating sometimes. Not being able to link to a specific product sucks.

I have a Protechsport and I have re-done the padding several times over the years with the same padding that it originally shipped with.

This is where I got it from.

Which product on that page?

I wish Bauer sold their new XPM foam as replacement kits... So comfy. Also wish Maltese sold full mask kits and not strips.

Totally agree with both. 

I think the holder looks better as a goalie skate holder than as a player skate holder. 

I also kind of like that I could pop in a player skate runner for public skating and such or even stick times. LOL.

if they’d come up with a removable tendon guard like the Easton Mako then people could seriously use one pair of skates for both positions! Haha

Here are my babies. Both Bauer NME8, both painted by @BMFSdesigns

That's a great point. The foam Michel uses is very soft and molds to you body. It's much different against your face than standard foam. 

Would love to try it. I wonder if he’d send a sample of the foam out.

They offer Rubatex or EVA... Rubatex is the tan stuff while EVA is black

Rubatex might be okay. Ever since the Profile XPM series started I would consider those as well. The Concept was the most comfortable mask I've ever put on, but was out of my price range.

If any of the custom mask makers use something similar that would be awesome. I just can't do the foams the old Profile series used (or any CCM or any Vaughn mask for that matter).

Anyway, I really didn't mean to derail the thread. Back on topic!

Actually- Protechsport does not use VN foam like the traditional. McMaster-Carr sells the softer stuff.

What do they use then?

I feel like that would feel slimy and not hold to your face well once you start sweating.

Nope, it's fantastic. Very very comfortable. I tried Maltese and ended up ripping it out because I found the stock padding more comfortable. 

My player helmet has the same stuff in it (Bauer Re-Akt).

What does the NME use that is so different?

It has some low density stuff that almost feels like a gel. I think it's actually just thin poron pads.

Matte colors, cream foam, and triangular vent holes! 

I'd love to go with another mask maker (especially custom) but I can't stand traditional mask foam. I've tried Maltese and didn't like that either (aside from the chin sling). So, I'm stuck with Bauer NME. *shrug*

Not if you just finished playing.

No, it's just after I finish playing that I feel like I'm 55

Just a generic Leafs design to be raffled off for charity at a fundraiser put on by one of my leagues.

Ah, I miss the old shoulder patch logo.

Pads are beauts!

Glad to see you joined us on this forum. Now start posting videos again! (please

I do whenever I can! Pickup is no problem, but games will all depend on which refs we get. There are two refs in our league that won't let me use it. I've had a couple posted in August I think, one of which was MSH SummerJam

Perhaps a definition of "old" is needed.

I feel like I'm 55. Does that count?

I’ll start this off since I wear a ton of Passau.
