and polyvinyl butyral resins. Two 4 inch long x 2 inch wide pieces of hook tape fastener adhered to the inside
crown area provide a means of attaching the impact liner to the shell. Left and Right Hand struts that support
the face guard are mounted to each side of the face opening of the shell. Mounted to the rear of the shell by a
single snap fastener is a headset tension assembly.
