I wonder if Brine will come out with a Triumph that has a titanium facemask cause that would be really nice. I mean Warrior's helmets all have a titanium facemask option even on thier new Venom helmet they have a Ti mask option, Gaits Identity IDX has a Titanium Facemask option, so why wouldn't Brine come out with a Titanium facemask option then? Has anybody been wondering the same thing that I have been wondering at all?

titanium is overrated unless you're a goalie. also, the price of a titanium helmet is beyond many customers' willingness to pay. i guess brine didn't see a market for a triumph with a titanium facemask. either that, or there are some logistics problems we don't know about that are hindering brine's development of a triumph ti (supply of raw titanium ore, manufacturing process, cost of production vs. profit, etc). there are too many factors to just say that brine is stupid for not producing a triumph ti. brine has made good decisions with their products in the past, so i trust their decision on this one.
also, with new balance's acquisition of brine, they might be pushing warrior as the "A" brand and brine as the "B" brand, targeting different segments of the market with different prices.

Probably because they have to fix the dial on the back of the helmet first.

Yea really, no need to upgrade the mask untill you're sure the back of the helmet won't completely break on you.

Also, isn't the ti much harder to bend? Like, on the cpx the angles are much sharper because it is not as malleable. The triumph is a very intricate mask, so it may be difficult to mold ti to that design.

i would imagine production costs would be pretty high because of the intricacy of the mask itself. With the curved pieces and everything, they would need to design a new mask.

Well then how do you explain the Venom Ti then? Because that mask is way more intricate than the Triumphs mask is though isn't it?

Whats holding me back fom buying a triumph right now is the weight, so if they came out with a Ti I would definately buy it.
