  1. Designed by Jerry Wright and manufactured by both himself and Itech, not Bauer.

  3. Sorry I'm not on here much. No definitely not a short chin, must be the camera angle. I have a fairly long chin and get good coverage from this mask. Here's a side view. This is the Theodore (which is also the Luongo, Fichaud etc.)
  4. That's the Belfour it's just a Harrison copy, not directly copied from either Belfour or Potvin. I asked Michel about it. There are only four Protechport molds.
  5. Haven't read the whole thread, but the shells are friggin' different! If the chin is smooth it's a 960, if it has an indent it's a 950. Seriously you can tell at a glance which one it is. You've hidden the chin behind a dangler in the pics but it will be immediately obvious.
  6. Those are gorgeous! But just FYI, the Thibault and Lalime moulds are the same. Taken from the Protechsport website: There are four models Roy Brodeur Belfour (triangular vent holes) Theodore (identical to Lalime, Jiggy, Thiabult, Garon, Luongo, Fichaud, Aebischer and Brochu)
  7. Yeah it is one of Michel's painters, and while I would like to name names, it looks like I'm in the minority and I haven't read anything else bad about that painter - which is another reason I was so disappointed with his work. It honestly looked like someone who had never painted a mask before had done it. The other work I've seen of his looks great. I can't be bothered with backlash from fanboys and since I don't think it'll make any difference I won't name. I will share a pic of one example, which I found just ridiculous. Basically there was a space (top pic), so I asked the painter what he thought would work there, and the next message I get is the lower picture. No joke. Literally painted in with a brush by hand. Clearly couldn't care. I would have happily paid for more time to get a better result, but didn't even get the option. I loved elements of his work, but some things (like this) were just utter crap. He also ignored specific instructions I gave him despite having plenty of opportunity.
  8. Thanks man, I am definitely happy with it! Yeah it was a shame, I was hoping to have it arrive all painted, but not the end of the world.
  9. Just received my Protechsport from Michel yesterday, bit of a long wait as I ordered and paid on 26 April last year but my mold only arrived with him 4th June. Thankfully I've had no hockey going on so it has made no real difference. Overall I am extremely happy with the result. I mean, it's a Michel Doganieri mask after all! I went for full kevlar and the Theodore mold, which as his website says is the same as the Lalime, Jiggy, Denis, Thibault, Garon, Luongo, Fichaud, Aebischer and Brochu. I've noticed some confusion about this, but I'd put any variances down to adjusting the mold to the individual head mold. Rubatex foam and chin sling. I also asked for Lefebrvre style cage clips and foam, which he hasn't done unfortunately. Reading back our emails I possibly wasn't clear enough about that, and I'll get him to send me some clips. The stock rubatex design is simpler anyway, so will be easier to replace. Unfortunately I had a huge problem with the painter (which Michel was pissed off about too). Basically the guy didn't get in touch despite me repeatedly asking him to in order to discuss my design. Never discussed the design with me, just cracked on and didn't listen. Only got in touch when he was in the middle of the job, and still didn't do specific things I asked for. I rejected the work because it was nothing like what I asked for, and it was really poor quality. It went back to Michel and he put it back to white for me for free. He was very sympathetic about this and angry at the painter. Unfortunately I still need to pay something for the crap work as the painter charged Michel to get the mask back, and of course I don't want him to be out of pocket even though he's told me it's up to me whether I pay for it. So overall a bit of a mixed experience. Really good communication from Michel, but let down by some details missing and the experience with the painter (which wasn't Michel's fault at all). For the price and the quality I would definitely order from him again though.
  10. Check with Michel but goalieparts sell cages for his masks (which are OTNY). But if you're ordering from them you might as well order from Michel instead.
  11. Thanks, it did indeed turn out to be a MA2000 shell, which I believe was a good quality mask - someone kindly sent me a spare cage they had and it fits perfectly. When I get around to it I'm going to refurb and move the side cageclip holes to fit an Eddy cage I think. The top and bottom holes should work just fine (with the top cage clips pointing upwards rather than downards). The Olie cages are just horrible looking.
  12. Bumping this thread for the first time in a couple of months! I've just picked up this old Olie, believe it's a 1999 going by the HECC sticker. I think it's an MA2000, but does anyone know better? Seems like a nice enough mask, at least full fiber, could have kevlar layer, and has a fiberglass backplate. Secondly, what other cages will fit these? I have a feeling Bauer NME might, but Profile cages do not, they are too flat at the bottom and are just in the wrong place for the side cage clip holes. Olie cages just look so crap I want to fit something better after I refurb it.
  13. Ok so I've had a reply from Warrior, can confirm that the G5 snr+ are SINGLE internal break, below the knee obviously where the outer break is. That's cool.
  14. Yeah I think you're right, although these are the pro rather than the snr (which I see are called the snr+). I've messaged Warrior on FB so hopefully we'll know soon!
  15. Yeah I've seen both, by "gr" you mean G4 right? Yeah it was very bendy because it was an internal double break. And I know that the RGT was stiffer. I want to know if the G5 senior is stiffer than the G4 - the G5 in the hockeyreviews.ca video is a pro with custom extra stiff thigh rise.
