It's probably bc you were over tightening.

IMO, the FT3 Pro and Trigger 5 Pro are both excellent compared to the Flylite in regards to performance, feel, and durability. CCM has really stepped up their game compared to everyone else.

I'll have some demos units in hand Monday to evaluate. I'll do a video.

Maybe I’m missing the point but this seems like 98% benefit to a retailer, and 2% to consumer. realistically how many people want this steel, and also routinely switch skates between brands?

Our saga continues with my son. But I think we are narrowing in on what works best for him. We've tried the Bauer Concept 3 splash guard, CCM Game On mask, and an UnderArmor sports mask. All with a Bauer Concept 3 bubble. For him, the best results are the UA mask. The splash guard fogged on him and made the visor fog more. The CCM mask felt too restrictive (maybe we needed to experiment a bit with adjustments, but didn't) The UA doesn't cause extra fogging and felt less restrictive. He is also used to it, as he's been wearing them for dryland, warm ups, and with his trainer. So he knows what to expect when he is putting effort in with the mask on. Given some states are now requiring a mask while on ice (we've been proactive in reducing his risk of exposure), I am going to pick up a few more UA masks for him so he can always have a fresh dry one, as he does soak them while playing or working out.

That’s the correct fit. Remember: these (and other non-medical grade) masks aren’t meant to necessarily filter the air you breathe in or out so much as just catch droplets. Think of it more as a face shield.

that’s definitely how it’s designed to fit. To me, the level of breathability for any mask is an individual calculated risk. Outside of some sort of ventilator, you can’t have a mask with both great air exchange and maximum coverage/protection. Re “getting comfortable”: To me, the fact that it is thick and in front of my mouth and nose, means that it’s hopefully collecting droplets that leave me. And, because the air is coming in/out from those sides, it’s hopefully minimizing the air that I’m breathing directly from someone else.

That Dallas third looks like it was designed at Hampton Beach. Trust me, the New England guys get it.

Tried my UA mask with my helmet (w/ cage) the other night. It was comfortable, didn't interfere physically or optically, didn't have to adjust the helmet, easy to move out of the way to drink...very pleased. I much prefer the mask staying on my face when I lift the cage. Do note...imho, the UA mask fits a touch small.
