Any Goalie mask's with good vision and good protection?

I would suggest the Shark 954 from New Image. There are a number of reviews on this site if you look for them. I have one myself and i love it.

I use a sportmask ricochet mask, it's been fantastic for me. I've only had one shot that has even made my ears ring while wearing it. I would highly recommend it.

What level of hockey go you play? How many times per week? The reason I ask is that you've got quite a range of masks listed here. Here are some good ones that I'd recommend. Some may be more expensive than you're looking for, but I don't think you'll have to replace any of these models after only 2 years.

Bauer NME 7: our best seller by a wide margin. Composite shell, great interior padding (including some gel in the main pressure points against your head), and good sight lines with just about any cage.

Eddy GT Ultimate II : snug fit, composite shell, relatively light weight, good sight lines

Hackva - full carbon and Kevlar shell, this mask is a tank. It may be a little on the heavy side, but the shell is one of the best you can buy, regardless of price.

Vaughn 7700 - lexan shell, tested well above North American specifications. Great price point too.

We'll be getting some Sportmasks in stock in the coming weeks and months - the T3 (full composite), X8 (fiberglass version of T3), Razor (composite), Riccochet (fiberglass version of Razor) and Mage RS. Sight lines on the Sportmasks are 2nd to none, IMO, and they've got a great reputation as being a durable, protective mask.

Hope that helps.

the nme7 Bauer, is a helmet thats been around in our rink.. and they crack up after an season..

If you have a "beefy" upper-body and neck, I would go with the Hackva. I have a history of head injuries, and I have yet to have an issue with this mask causing headaches or otherwise triggering symptoms of the concussion syndrome I deal with. The mask is a bit heavier than others, but that is a price I am willing to pay. However if I didn't have as strong of neck and shoulders as I do, I would probably reconsider that.

I've been wearing a Hackva now for about 2 months (on the ice 3/week on average) and quite like it. I play with some guys who have played pro, and so far, it's been excellent in terms of protection, comfort and noise level when you get rung. I've used it with both a cat-eye and CSA approved cage (1 league requires goalies to wear them) and the sightlines are good in both.

I should have noted, I wear a cat-eye cage. It took a bit to get used to the sight-lines, but now I love it.

Promasque XDK, yeah its expenssive but you can take a bullet in that thing (not literally, but almost lol)
