Bauer 960 Senior Certified Straight Bar Goalie Mask – 2024 Model

Categories: , ,
Since its original design by Jerry Wright over 25 years ago, the Profile mask has defined the look of the modern goalie mask. First mass-distributed by ITECH, the Profile mask remained largely unchanged, quickly becoming a staple in professional hockey with its comfortable fit, improved visibility, and simple yet distinctive look. Part of the Bauer family as of 2008, the Profile mask, now known as the Bauer 960 Goalie Mask, has evolved with Bauer’s advanced design and production resources while preserving its iconic shape.

Timeless Look w/ Modern Construction
Defense Cloud Tech Liner w/ PORON® Cheek Pads: Bauer’s DCT liner has been redesigned to provide a plush, more breathable fit, and retain less water compared to the liners of previous Bauer 960 masks. Chosen for its lightweight, flexibility, and incredible shock-absorbing performance, PORON®, a unique polyurethane foam, has been implemented in the cheek pads to further improve impact absorption and comfort.
KRAIBON® Fiber Composite Shell: New for the 2024 960 mask, a KRAIBON® fiber composite shell offers lightweight, pro-grade protection, with reduced ringing from direct mask contacts. KRAIBON® is a synthetic rubber-like compound used to produce the high-strength, lightweight composites found in orthopedic and high-speed rail manufacturing, where energy-absorbing materials are key. Compared to the more rigid epoxies typically used to produce fiber composites, KRAIBON®’s rubber-like, energy-absorbing properties and splinter-resistant structure are, in a sense, baked into the mask’s shell.
TeXtreme® 24k Carbon Tow Top Layer: Fans of Bauer’s elite goalie and player sticks may be familiar with the distinctive checkered carbon appearance of TeXtreme® 90° spread tow weave. Comprising the TeXtreme® ST weave, strips of a larger, 24,000 carbon filament unspun yarn (tow) offer incredibly high strength with very little weight. For the 960 mask’s new shell, those same ultra-lightweight strips of carbon are laid throughout its top layer, strengthening the overall shell without adding excess weight.
Cage, Comfort & Fit
HECC & CSA Certified Straight Bar Cage: Straight bar 960 masks ship with Bauer’s enhanced puck view Profile wire, certified for play in all leagues by the Hockey Equipment Certification Council and Canadian Standards Association.
IX Molded Ears & Top Crown: Designed to improve ventilation and protect a wider range of goalies, Bauer’s IX molded ears and top crown help to improve ventilation and comfortably fit a wider range of head shapes.
Deep Fit Chin Cup w/ Defense Cloud Tech: This mask features a deep fit chin cup, padded with a plush, moisture-resistant, DCT foam to maintain a comfortable, fully-protective fit.
Thermocomp Backplate w/ Redesigned Occipital Pad: For complete protection, with a more comfortable fit, its rigid thermocomp backplate is padded with breathable, perforated foam that surrounds a Defense Cloud Tech center.
