Cages are all constructed from high grade stainless steel with a low luster finish to reduce glare and blend into the ice surface to increase visibility. The stainless steel will not rust and provides added durability. All attachment hardware is manufactured in stainless steel for strength and durability to increase longevity. Full skull plate harness with heavy duty elastic straps and buckles provides complete adjustment; the chin cup features a quick change Velcro adjustment to allow the goaltender more options on fitting.
