Help with selecting Goalie Mask Fit

[Nikolas90 0]

Hi dear goalie community!

I´m about to start out as a goalie soon and would like to buy a new mask soon as well.

Since i am not 100% familiar with all the different Fits and sizes I would like to have some help.

I already tried out the Bauer 940X at my local Shop. It actually fits pretty good ( skull cap wise and around the head/temples in general).

However it feels a bit too snug, if not tight around the cheeks ( I have pretty big cheekbones..)

Would a NME Style Helmet therefore fit better around the cheeks? Would it feel looser around the head then? I know that they are a bit wider than the Profile masks.

 

Unfortunately my local shop didn´t have one to try out and the shop owner wants me to pay upfront if he should order one for me.

Any tipps or other recommendations would be great!

 

Thanks in advance!
