Bauer 960 S24 Senior Goalie Mask

 The crown jewel of the BAUER goalie masks has returned. Upgraded to include a KRAIBON® shell and an improved seamless liner, the BAUER 960 Goal Mask was designed to provide the protection, fit, style, and comfort that elite goalies demand from our masks.

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.
 

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.
