CCM's Axis XF goalie mask not only debuts a reshaped, modern aesthetic, but stands as the first goalie mask lined entirely with the same 3D-printed, NEST Tech material found in their Super Tacks X helmet. Shell & Lining Exoshell, Redesigned Carbon-composite Shell: Compared to the previous generation Axis Pro goalie mask, the Axis XF mask debuts a more modern shell design, featuring sharp deflection points with aggressive venting through its jaw and crown. Built from a highly-resilient carbon-composite, the Axis XF mask's Exoshell offers an ultra-light feel with improved moblility from its steeper jawline and flared chin. NEST Tech Lining: First introduced to hockey by CCM with their Super Tacks X helmet, the Axis XF is the first goalie mask to implement a full NEST Tech lining. Composed of open, 3D printed lattice structures that vary in geometry and density across the liner, the NEST Tech production process optimizes impact protection down to the millimeter. An evolution in user protection and comfort, the NEST Tech liner provides an elite level of impact protection that conforms to the wearer’s head, offering a softer, more breathable, custom fit feeling. AER-TEC Ventilation System: CCM’s AER-TEC Ventilation System refers the Axis XF goalie mask's combination of heat and moisture-management technologies. The XF goalie mask's aggressive ventilation is complemented by the high-flow nature of its lattice-like NEST Tech lining, allowing excess heat to easily escape through the top of the shell to help draw cool air through the mask's breathable lining. To keep sweat out of the eyes, CCM's AER-TEC sweatband is included and is easily replaceable with Velcro® attachment. Fit & Feel 3-point Elastic Strapping w/ In-shell Mounting: Contributing to the Axis XF mask's modern aesthetic, its NEST Tech occipital pad is secured from three hard-mounted points beneath the crown of its shell, with adjustable strapping crossing at the occipital and snapping-down at the jaw. Not only providing a sleek overall appearance, this cross-strapped design offers even, balanced pressure against the back of the head. Tri-density Chin Cup w/ D3O® Smart Material: The Axis XF goalie mask's featured chin cup is padded with varying density impact foams and D3O® Smart Material, working in combination to soften and decelerate any shock to the chin. D3O® Smart Material's unique molecular structure makes it strain-rate sensitive, meaning the stronger the impact, the more the molecules lock together, further helping to absorb and dissipate impact energies. Offering a unique balance between flexibility and impact protection, D3O® Smart Material's strain-sensitive composition remains soft and pliable at rest.
