Question
NME3 vs NME5?
Comparing the 2 masks and I think they are very simular if not identical with weight, sizing and styling with the only difference being the inside foam. What levels would be approiate for what mask. I would never risk my sons injury for a few more dollars, however I do not want to over buy either and spend the additioal money when not necessary.
Thanks

A couple of considerations:
1) The NME 3 comes in a youth size, the NME 5's smallest size is JR (your son's age is listed as 6-12 - don't know where he'd fall in the sizing of this mask).
2) The LD & HD foams used in the NME 5 offer better protection than that regular EPP foam of the NME 3. If your son is at an advanced level, then the NME 5 may be a better choice.
3) The NME 5 has a flat bar cage (better vision) and the NME 3 has the traditional rounded bar cage.
In the end, both masks are good for the younger guys. If your son is around 12'ish and he's facing some pretty good slapshots at an advanced level, then I'd go with the NME 5.
Feel free to call me tomorrow (anywhere between 8am-5pm CST) and I'll be happy to talk this out with you a little more if you'd like.

The NME5 comes standard with the certified flat bar cage only. However, you can purchase separate "NME" branded replacement cages which will fit this mask, including a certified cat eye and a non-certified cat eye. Links to those items are below:
