The Bauer Exposed Back Plate Harness is a replacement retention system associated with the S22 Bauer NME ONE goalie mask. Its open-centre layout leaves more of the backplate visible than a traditional one-piece harness while maintaining multiple elastic attachment points around the shell. It is intended for goalies replacing stretched or damaged straps on the compatible NME ONE setup.Bauer exposed-harness features NME ONE application: The harness was developed for the exposed backplate arrangement used on the S22 NME ONE mask. Open-centre appearance: Individual strap sections allow the backplate and graphics to remain more visible. Balanced retention: Multiple attachment points distribute tension around the back of the head. Elastic adjustment: Strap length can be tuned to centre the backplate and maintain consistent shell contact. Replacement purpose: It restores support when original elastic has stretched, frayed or lost tension. Model-specific fit: Mounting layout and strap length should be compared with the original harness before purchase. Installation and fitInstall the harness using the correct Bauer clips and original mounting locations, then adjust each strap evenly. The backplate should remain centred and the mask should not pull upward or forward when the goalie moves. A harness cannot correct an incorrectly sized shell or compressed liner. Replace damaged clips and inspect mounting holes whenever the straps are serviced.Maintain the NME ONE maskUse the harness with the Bauer NME ONE mask, replace worn fasteners with the Bauer goalie-mask hardware kit and protect the mask during travel with the Bauer padded mask bag. The Goalie Crease can help verify the harness generation.
