    Default Bauer NME7 or RBK 7K Bucket?

    I think that my mask is reaching the end of its course considering all internal padding is falling out. So, Im looking for something to replace it with. Really not trying to spend a lot of money so I was looking at RBK 7k or the Bauer NME 7.

    Any recommendations on either of the 2?

    Thanks

    Edit - Just looked at planetgoalie and saw some Eddy and Hackva masks for around the same price as the RBK and Bauer so any information on either of the 4 is greatly appreciated

    I vote Hackva. One of the best deals around for what your getting.

    If you need a legal mask, you can't use the Fusion.

    NME7 is a good mask, secondly the Hackva brand is very well recognized. I've never tried on the Reebok masks before so I can't comment.

    1 vote for the NME7. First time I wore it I got hit in the head 5 times, 3 were wristers and 2 big slap shots. It was night and day from my old mask. I doubt it would work for Pro action, but for us rec guys, its amazing.

    I would check out the Shark 994 from New image.
    He's selling them for $500 right now. Half the price of the NME 9 or Bauer pro with the same construction.

    New Image can also refurbish your old mask to like-new conditions if you are interested. I believe the price is $185.

    It will hold up just fine...On Wednesday's I sub in with a bunch of ex pros for their amazingly fast skate and I've been hit numerous times off the mask with no issues. These guys have a fierce rivalry and do not hold back either so the shots come in with some heat behind them. I love it!!! I wish I could do this skate every day of the week...lol

    We will be reviewing these soon.
