Let me start out by saying...
that I am an equipment junkie. I owned two Wilson Chrome Moliben low profile masks, one black and one gray. I also own a navy blue traditional shape Honig's lightweight mask. I used Amara Suede new wrap-around style pads, traditional style Wilson Doeskin pads, the original black (Pigskin, I think) leather wrap-around pads and I now own the Wilson low profile titanium mask with the doeskin wrap-around pads that it comes with.
I looked at the Ump Attire weight listings. I find it hard to believe that the Titanium is only .4 lbs lighter than the Chrome Moliben and .5 lighter than the traditional view lightweight mask. That near-half/half a pound really makes a difference. It is absolutely unbelievable the difference in weight and feel. I feel completely safe with the mask and would recommend it to anyone. It is that lightweight and comfortable.
My two cents, your mileage may vary.
