Like other pro masks on the market, Sportmask spares no expense when producing their T3 Senior Goalie Mask. The mask is created with the market's best composite materials including multiple layers of high quality fiberglass and carbon fiber bonded together by a specially formulated resin. The T3's aggressive forehead and chin shape not only look sharp, but this construction provides structural rigidity to the mask as well create efficient energy transfer away from the head during impact. All Sportmasks are made in Canada with their special multi-component modular mould system to ensure bonding materials are evenly distributed throughout the mask to improve strength and reduce weight. Note that this mask is CSA Certified only, and is not HECC Certified.

How To Pick The Right Size?

Goalie Mask Sizing: 

When purchasing a new mask, it is crucial to ensure that it fits properly. Even entry-level masks with a proper fit will do a better job at protecting the head compared to a superior model that is ill fitted. Unlike other pieces of gear, we usually wouldn’t size for growth as a) it sacrifices protection and b) the mask will expand over time creating more room for a growing head.

The first step is to approximate the size using the sizing charts listed on any individual mask’s product page on our website; usually this is accomplished by matching a head circumference and/or hat size to a given mask size. When measuring your head’s circumference, it is important to measure at approximately 1” above the eyebrows while keeping the tape measure parallel (at the “hat line”) around the entire head. In addition, when using hat sizes should be those of fitted hats that aren’t overly tight or loose.

Once a size has been established there are four parameters the goaltender should be looking for:

1. The top edge of the window (opening inside the cage) is about 1” above the eyebrows and the sweatband inside the mask sits directly on the skin (i.e., there is no gap between the mask and forehead).

2. The backplate hugs the back of the goaltender’s head and its edges don’t extend past the edges of the mask’s shell. Here, we want to reduce the possibility for gaps at the back of the goaltender’s head as well as ensuring the head is secure inside the mask. It should be noted, that if all other parameters are met as far as fitting is concerned, the backplate extending a little too far isn’t of major concern.

3. The chin cup is tightened such that it is worn securely against the chin and prevents the mask from shifting up and down while on the head.

4. The temples and/or cheeks are snug against the foam of the mask such that there are little to no visible gaps on each side of the head and prevents the mask from shifting laterally while on the head.

Once these have been accounted for an indicator of good fit is if the mask shifts on the head. Try grabbing the cage and shaking the mask back and forth – if the mask forces your head to move (rather than the mask moving on your head) you’ve got a great fit!

Lastly, be sure to check your fit every few months or so as compressed foams, dented cages and stretched harnesses will make the mask loose over time.
