SPORTMASK designed the Mage as an alternative for goalies who find masks restrictive and awkward. Such goalies find that the mask fits too closely to the face to be comfortable, and that the mask’s chin bumps against the C/A and blocks downward vision. The Mage’s open certified style cage allows for improved air flow and better sightlines. The fully-adjustable chin cup and back plate provide a customizable
fit. The absorbent sweat band and the non-degrading XLP padding manage sweat and keep the Mage cool and comfortable. Although the Mage feels more open than a mask, SPORTMASK ensured that the Mage keeps goalies protected. The forehead ridges deflect pucks away from the head, lowering the chances of a concussion. The rigid composite shell with an enclosed ear design protects the head and ears better than any plastic
product can. The high tensile certified style cage safely holds up against and channels energy from impacts. For the 2007 season, SPORTMASK refined the Mage to offer increased functionality. The certified style cage is now bolted directly to the shell so that it does not swing open, stiffening the entire unit and eliminating the need for j-clips. The redesigned chin offers a new cover piece, which can retro-fit SM-90 cages,
and an adjustable, floating chin cup that secures the Mage to the head. The new chin set-up can be tightened by a clip fastener to prevent the Mage from shifting off the head, and since the chin cup does not rest on the certified style cage, there is also a buffer between the certified style cage and the face to lessen the sting of a head shot. The strap buckles are grouped on the back plate to protect them from breakage. Available Sizes: Large & Medium - $399 Cdn |
