Nash 5 Point Traditional Mask Harness

The Nash 5 Point Traditional Mask Harness restores the classic connected backplate strap layout used on many goalie masks. Built from thicker pro-quality elastic, the harness is designed to hold adjustment and distribute tension across five attachment points. It is a practical replacement for stretched, frayed or hardened straps and is especially well suited to traditional and older mask designs.

Nash traditional harness features

• Classic five-point layout: Connected straps secure the shell and backplate using the familiar traditional harness pattern.
• Thicker pro-quality elastic: Substantial woven material provides a secure feel and improved resistance to stretching.
• Clips included: The Nash package includes clips for a more complete replacement installation.
• Black or cream variants: The current Shopify options allow goalies to match common mask interiors and graphics.
• Ideal for older mask styles: Nash specifically positions this harness as a classic option for traditional goalie masks.
• Fit still requires inspection: Attachment points, clip width and strap length should be compared with the existing harness before installation.

How to set harness tension

Install all five straps and tighten them gradually so the backplate stays centred without forcing the shell forward. The mask should remain stable during head movement while maintaining proper forehead, cheek and chin contact. Replace damaged clips or posts at the same time, and do not rely on excessive tension to correct poor shell sizing or compressed liner foam.
