The Defender Goalie Mask shell is the definition of advanced composite manufacturing. The pro level Double D is available in 4 sizes and composed of chemically and thermally fused quad-axial / unidirectional polypropylene encased fiberglass, aramid and carbon fiber. Each material layer is utilized for a specific function. The exterior layer is high impact fiberglass, the second layer is catastrophic failure eliminating aramid and the third layer is a bonding layer of fiberglass while the interior layer is rigid carbon fiber. All of these layers will be intersecting and configured in 0 / 45 / 90 / 45 degree lay-up schedule. These materials are bonded by heat fusing the polypropylene under vacuum in a heated chamber. The polypropylene acts as a damp membrane which eliminates harmonic ringing when hit by an impact. Every shell is laid out, cut out and assembled to the customer’s specification.

The foam padding of the mask is made in the USA from Co-Polymer of Ethylene and Vinyl Acetate (PVA). The PVA foam padding is nearly weightless, impervious to sweat, and bacterial growth. This time tested foam padding has proven itself to be concussion reducing from impacts white providing a very high level of comfort and durability. In each goalie masks size, the padding can easily be altered to achieve a perfect custom fit without sacrificing performance. The padding can also be sold in sheets for or installed by Defender as a refurbishing service.
