Pros & Cons:
Pros-Solid arm protection, fairly comfortable, and good spine protection
Cons-Too Bulky, fits odly, bad rib protection, heavy as crap, and crappy stomach/ chest protection

Uh, Okay. That was an okay review...be more informative and thorough next time. Look at other reviews for structuring. Nice pics and all.

And I have a comment to make on the Itech 4000 mask getting many ringers such that one should switch to a 4600. That doesn't make sense. 4000s are essentially the same to 4600s.

I've been using the 4600 for a while, and I've only had one small ringer on a knuckleball type shot. Elcamino, it sounds like the mask doesn't fit you properly if you're getting headaches and ringers frequently, mine fits me well and I'm not getting anything like that.

I don't know the differences between the 4000 and the 4600, but they're probably pretty similar.

Yeah, it probably is the fit because the mask is loose, my cheeks dont touch the sides, and the top of my head doesnt touch the top of the mask.

Definitely, fit is the most important factor in regards to mask safety (so I'm told).

Agree

I have a 4600 and absolutely no problem with. It's a great mask.

Yeah I've had the mask for 5 years but my parents wont let me get a new one

4600s are 170$ at goaliemonkey now, maybe that will change their minds?

Just got my new skates today, will post pics.

Would all of this gear be okay to wear for peewee A? AA? AAA?

Priority number 1: Get a mask that fits properly.

elcamiino33 · #11 (**permalink**) 07-05-2007, 08:48 AM

I knowbut there are 2 problems: parents, & Im savin up for pads

Hey, its only your head on the line

Why don't you tell your parents that an ill fitted mask can get you a concussion. If they still say no then I suggest you forgot buying pads and buy a mask. Good luck.

yeah but i just made the switch from roller to ice and i have pos roller hockey pads, but i see what you mean

Don't waste your breath.. er fingers typing. This kid says his parents won't let him have a new mask, but he acknowledges it fits VERY poorly, gives him headaches, ringers, etc... but wants to buy new pads to move up to ice.

Good luck playing ice, hope you don't get hit in the head, but if you do, the meds will say "Damn, those are nice pads", as they cut them off you to load you in the ambulance.

LULZ, but not really

Maybe I can "persuede" them to let me get a mask.
