Bauer 960 Chin Cup

The Bauer 960 Chin Cup is a model-specific replacement for compatible Bauer 960 and related pro-mask interiors. The TGC listing identifies PORON XRD padding and elastic stretch straps, while newer Bauer 960 replacement information describes a deeper DCT Ergo shape. Because Bauer has updated the 960 over multiple generations, goalies should match the cup to the original mask and mounting system rather than ordering by model name alone.

Bauer 960 replacement-cup features

• Pro-mask application: The cup is shaped for the secure, deeper chin contact expected from the Bauer 960 family.
• Impact-management padding: The listed version uses PORON XRD material to combine cushioning and a low-profile feel.
• Elastic stretch straps: Flexible retention allows minor movement while helping keep the mask centred.
• Replacement comfort: A new cup can address compressed foam, damaged covering or stretched original straps.
• Eye-position support: Correct chin depth helps maintain consistent alignment through the cage opening.
• Generation-specific fit: Older PORON XRD and newer DCT Ergo versions may not be identical, so original-part comparison is essential.

Confirm the correct 960 generation

Check shell year, existing chin-cup shape, strap routing and mounting hardware before installation. The cup should support the chin without lifting the mask from the cheeks or forehead. Do not drill new holes or force incompatible straps. Inspect the shell and hardware during replacement and have any impact damage evaluated by a qualified technician.
