The Profile Goalie Mask has one of the most distinguishable shapes in mask history and with almost 20 straight years of unedited designs, the Bauer 960 continues to provide that heritage shape and durability.
The shell of the Bauer 960 is designed with a Smacwrap comp shell designed to be highly protective and durable from shots taken off the goaltender’s head while helping reduce vibrations and ringing. The overall design of the 960 helmet not only looks slick but aims to help keep the goaltender protected.
Internally on the Bauer 960, Airflow Liner allows for the goaltender to stay cool when using this helmet by allowing air to flow through the vents through the top of the helmet. Padding includes Poron XRD and IX Foam which has been seen previously in both the NME-VTX and NME-IX helmets and has proven to be highly protective with technology geared toward reducing impacts taken to the head and eliminating ringing.
Wrapping up the internals, a Thermocore sweatband is featured to help the goaltender stay cool on the ice during long sessions where they otherwise start to feel overheated. Down further, an elite chin cup with elastic stretch straps allows the goaltender to comfortably put this helmet on with a chin cup with the elastic helping the goaltender naturally adjust into a comfortable fit.
Finally, around on the back of the Bauer 960 you will find a Thermo-Core backplate with molded occipital support to help the goaltender achieve a comfortable feeling when wearing this mask. Topping it off, a Pro Harness allows the goaltender to make small adjustments on five different attachment points to dial in the exact fit they desire.
If you are an elite-level goaltender looking for a traditional Bauer helmet with years of trusted features and technology that creates a highly protective and comfortable helmet, look no further than the Bauer 960 Senior Certified Straight Goalie Mask.
