Abstract: Methods and systems for customizing wearable equipment such as athletic equipment, including ice skates and protective equipment such as masks. For example, a hockey goaltender mask may comprise a shell a liner attached to the shell, the liner being customized for a face of a user. The liner may be produced using a customized mold. Such customized mold may include a base mold and at least one attachment attached to the base mold; wherein each of the at least one attachment is characterized by at least one feature determined based on computer processing of data representative of the face of the user.

Abstract: Methods and systems for customizing wearable equipment such as athletic equipment, including ice skates. For example, an ice skate may comprise a skate boot and blade holder. The skate boot may be customized, e.g., may be manufactured using a custom last. A method of operating a computing device to customize the skate boot last may comprise: carrying out a 3D modeling application; obtaining a scan of a foot from an image acquisition device; creating a model of the foot; obtaining a model of a customized last based on the model of the foot; creating metadata and associating the metadata with the 3D model data; and generating a production specification for the customized last based on the model of the customized last and the metadata.

Abstract: Hockey goalkeeper leg pads wearable on legs of a hockey goalkeeper to protect the legs, in which the hockey goalkeeper leg pads may be configured to enhance performance, comfort and/or other aspects of goalkeeping of the hockey goalkeeper, including when the hockey goalkeeper leg pads drop onto a playing surface (e.g., ice) to lie substantially horizontally on the playing surface with their front facing play (e.g., as in a “butterfly” position or otherwise).
