Thanks for the feedback. Going to spend some time emailing and calling a few of these companies tomorrow. My guess is that I will go with a custom that is just as good or better than the retail pro masks and are within my budget. I’ll keep you posted on what we decide on. Thanks again!

18 weeks. Not months.
Correct - thanks.
Just to throw more into the mix - the Otny X1M looks like a really good mask. Any thoughts on this one?

sorry to keep asking so many questions and throwing in different masks thanks again for your patience and willingness to share your thoughts

I really like the protechsport, but there is an 18 month wait to get the mask. The other issue is the HECC cert. I can’t understand why an obviously less protective helmet with a sticker can be played in, but a far superior, custom fit helmet is a no no. Kind of a joke if you ask me.
Sorry for the rant and back on topic. I guess as you all help me answer more questions I am starting to figure things out. Of course that means I am finding more to confuse myself with as well!

@goalie - I am not anti Sportmask at all, but he asked about the X8 and not the T3. There's better options than the X8 at a very similar price point
Yes - the original question was about the X8, but if the T3 is that much better?

Thanks for the information! Budget - as much as I would like to say it's his head and it shouldn't matter the cost.... I'm not in a position to spend more than $700, and even that's gonna hurt. As far as the coveted, protechsport, and marvel, I'll look into those as well. Do they have "stock" masks or is this something that will take time to get? Thanks again!

Sportmask X8 is a mid level mask as apposed to pro level. For mid level it is as good as any. Tends to fit a wider head than Bauer. An upgrade from Hackva.
Thanks for the response. How do think the sport mask T3 compares as far as protection to a Bauer or his Hackva? If I’m looking at it right, the T3 is kind of the entry level pro mask? Whereas the X8 would be too end intermediate model? Thanks again for any input - so many different ideas on what makes a safe helmet.

Time for a new helmet for my son and for another helmet question....
He will be playing high school hockey this winter, he is currently in a Hackva which is starting to show its age. My question is about the Sportmask X8 and how it compares to the Bauer helmets in terms of protection (is it like an NME 5 or the 960 etc.). I understand a helmets fit is the most crucial aspect, so that will obviously play a role in the decision. Any information is appreciated! Thanks!

So after looking around and checking out the suggested masks and makers I think I am starting to narrow down my list.
Masked Marvel Bandit - Elite built special addition
Sportmask T3
Otny X1M
Coveted - their site is under construction and they have not returned emails. I would like to know more about their masks and prices
i feel like these would be better than anything Bauer has to offer from the shelf - NME 10?
Maybe this shouldn’t be attached to this thread, no problem if it gets moved! Thanks again to everyone for the advice
