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 wouldnt 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 masks 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 heads 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 arent 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 (ie. there is no gap between the mask and forehead).
• 2) The backplate hugs the back of the goaltenders head and its edges dont extend past the edges of the masks shell. Here, we want to reduce the possibility for gaps at the back of the goaltenders 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 isnt 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) youve 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.
