Thanks JM, I was going to add my pennys worth by stating that the Fed rule states that any helmet mask combo must have ear protection for the catcher, not an HSM only. Therefore it CAN be a traditional mask with a skull cap type helmet with ear protection that meets NOSCOE. As you pictured here. Nope, not HSM IMHO also. The picture makes it a heck of a lot easier to explain it.. so thanks and yes, I have seen catchers using this style of protection vs. the HSM.
