I'd be nice to have money to speculate like that. But, anyway, I own two different Wilson masks. Both are single bar and both were marketed as "lightweight."

The older one I've had for 7-8 years or so. It has vinyl pads with a suede feeling surface where your face contacts the pads. The pads have always been comfortable enough, and the mask has been serviceable. I never felt like it was too heavy. I don't remember the model number, but you probably don't care anyway.

The newer Wilson is the low-profile design. I've had it for about 3 or so years. I has leather pads. It is noticeably lighter than my older one, and it takes a little practice to get used to the mask when taking it off (so you don't take your hat off, too). I like it a lot. It has taken some shots with good protection and no damage to the mask itself. Vision is somewhat better, but it is not a breakthrough or anything.
