Franklin Sports Youth Hockey Goalie Masks -Street Hockey Goalie Mask for Kids - GFM1500 - Perfect for Street and Indoor Hockey

Like any goalie mask, the rear plate attaches to the rest of the mask with cloth straps that snap down to the main mask. This lets you get it on, and adjust sizes. (No different than any other goalie mask.) That being said, the first mask that I received had a snap that had either come free of its rivet, or was never riveted in the first place. I wasn’t pleased, seeing as how this was for a birthday gift, but Amazon was good about sending out another one, even though I wouldn’t get a chance to wrap it. So, the second one arrived, and that one had a different snap with the same problem on a different buckle. It was just floating there. Now that the birthday boy had seen it, he loved how it looked, so I promised him another one. Amazon won’t do a second return on the same item, and I didn’t want to return the first two masks in case they just sent me another, so I bought a third. (I now had three in my possession.) This one came ... with two of the buckles missing. Needless to say, I’ve already returned two of the masks, I’m bringing the third back, today, and I bought a different brand (with a long history of exclusively making hockey products) from an all hockey web site. Amazon has been great, and the packing seemed fine, so these must be coming broken from the factory. It’s a great looking mask, but you’re rolling the dice on whether it will arrive broken and, if not, how long it’ll last before these snaps break. I don’t like to leave negative reviews, but the three masks that I got were all garbage. I bail out of products when they go 0/3. By the way, there’s adhesive foam padding that blocks access from inside the mask (normally a good thing), so if you happen to have a pop riveter to make your own fixes, which you shouldn’t need to, you still can’t do so. Good luck.

My son loves this. Great quality for the price. We have bought cheaper ones from the store and they don't last. This was a great buy for play. I'd like to note that my son is 9, plays travel hockey (so plays pretty aggressive), throws this helmet around, wears it for indoor knee hockey as well as street hockey. He's pretty rough with it and has had it for 3 months now. It had held up nicely with no issues.

Took a chance on an warehouse deal, used/returned item. Never really had luck in the past w/ warehouse deals but this time i could not ignore the price difference. I figure i can return the item if it is not as advertised. I don't think this goalie mask was ever used or sold. I wiped it down with lysol and let my kids play with it. Fun for hours.

Fit well for both my 9 yr-old and 6 yr-old. They love the cool flame pattern on one helmet. The white helmet was really plain in comparison, so I bought Buffalo Sabers stickers for the kids to apply.

The mask I ordered to replace the other returned 2 defective masks was received with all 5 snap fasteners broken. This is unacceptable. I do not recommend purchasing any Franklin Sports Inferno hockey goalie masks. Each one I received has at least one or more broken snap fasteners.

Looks good and my grandson loves it.

Grandson loves this very sharp looking.

My son is going to poop when he opens this up on Christmas morning. It's pretty well made and looks fantastic. He really may poop, it's that cool.
