 |
|
I'm 13 and I need a new helmet. Ive heard that OLIE is great. I am considering a plain white OLIE with a CERT-Cat-Eye. If I like it I will get it painted to a vesa toskala mask with orange instead of blue.

I wouldn't do Cert. Cat-eye. Either go straight bars or non-cert cat eye. Visibility is typically pretty poor on cert. cat eye masks.

This is also true. I wouldn't bother and just get a standard certified cage.

I got kicked out of a game because I have an Olie 9900 with Cats Eye. The ref said it was illegal so I switched to an Itech.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm looking at new masks/cages and stumbled upon olie. They make decently priced stuff but not sure on the quality.

Someone on this board plays with an Olie... who was it that put the car door trim around the edging of their mask?

Which model olie do you have? I'm trying to get an idea. I have a 23" measurement on my head but wide cheek bones. My profile 2500 works well and has plenty of room. I tried an envy 7 fit 3 and it was way too tight for me.
I ask because I'm looking at the Sr. Small MA2000 or Sr Small MA7000. The MA7000 is suppose to be a wider fit but the small is 24-26" circumference. The small in the MA2000 is 22-24".

You're playing with the MA9900? People have been classifying that mask as a "Widowmaker," as in poor protection and can break easily. If it's working for you then it must be a decent mask. Don't worry about it though. I ordered a Vaughn VM7500 since they make a wider mask for those of us with wide heads. I also, went straight bar since the cert. cat eye from Vaughn is also garbage. Thanks anyways for answering my questions.
