I'll post my experince with mask so far. I bought it in August, know that I'd have maybe a hand full of fall ball plates to wear it for. So far I've worn it in 6 plates and have loved every second of it so far. I will admit that I haven't taken a between the eyes shot yet so I don't know how it going to be in that situation. Truthfully, I've been lucky in that I haven't taken a frontal shot in the past two years.
The one shot that I took of of it, hit off the side of my face near the ear flaps. The mask flew off my face and landed a couple of feet away feet away. Other than adjusting my hat and dusting of the mask, I was fine. The main reson for this might have happened is becuase of the way it is suggested that we should wear our mask, nice and loose with the bottom swinging away when we look down.
With the dynalights, I always had it tight to my face. It felt more secure and actually in my mind, lighter. With the titanium you can wear it loose and not even have it bother you, like the dyna-lights seemed to with me. I just seems to float on the brim of the hat and you won't have to work your forhead to keep it in place.
I like the leather on the pads, don't like the wrap-arounds, and the padding seem a little thin. I've never had a pair of the wrap-arounds so I don't know if that is true thickness, but I can deal with them, as I can't find my old style Amara's and the old style tan looks bad IMO (grey frame/tan pads, to light in color.)
Cons: I thought that I'd have to get rid of the metal indicator, but it doesnt hit all that much, but when it does, it makes my teeth hurt. I did have to remove my wedding band as that is also titanium and make a nice metal on metal sound that is bothersome to me. But its probably a good thing to not wear the band behind the plate in case your hand gets hit.
