But you can't knock the 10. They're so light and protective, and you have to admit they look pretty good. I've used one on the ice before, and it's a huge departure from anything else out there. It felt like I wasn't using a mask at all.

But like everything Bauer, it's about 20% too expensive.
The NME10 cages were recalled shortly after release. The cages were breaking and stabbed users in the eye causing severe eye damage. You might as well not wear a mask at that point. I'd sacrifice a little bit of weight for added protection.
