Fig. 20 Recommended and unacceptable hockey goalie protectors. Left: Recommended hockey goalie face mask-helmet combination certified to ASTM F1587 by HECC. Right of divider: Custom made goalie face mask. Note difference in padding thickness when compared to helmet interior (center). Custom masks of this type are not as safe as HECC certified products and are not recommended. Far right: A noncustom product sold in some sporting goods stores that gives a false sense of security while offering essentially no protection. Should be banned. |
