Other factors that will help in determining the right mask size are the shape of the goalie's head, jaw width and body weight.
Sizing charts vary greatly among companies so it's best to take the aforementioned measurements into consideration when picking a mask.
Of course, no system of measurements will be able to beat the real thing, so it's recommended to try on different masks to expose the goalie to varying mask and cage styles.
Place the mask on the goalie's head so that the top edge of the face opening is approximately
one half of one inch above the eyebrows. The mask should fit snug without movement on the head.
Self-adhesive foam pads are included and can be added to provide a secure fit. The sweatband
must be securely in place while fitting and during use.
The chin cup should be adjusted to be snug so as not to allow movement on the head or allow the mask to be pushed in closer to the jaw. It should be used at all times and should be adjusted so that the mask cannot be displaced during play.
The rear skull plate and straps should be adjusted so as to apply a slight amount of tension to achieve a secure fit.
All adjustments should be checked frequently to assure a proper fit.
