I echo these sentiments.
The pads are actually calfskin/vinyl, and seem lighter and softer on the surface than even the doeskins. I also agree whole-heartedly that the silver bars are easier to see through.
Resiliency: I have been drilled as hard as with any mask, and it's so light, and the pads are so thick and soft, that it shakes it off better than any mask I have ever worn.
When you put this thing on, you actually have to look at it in the mirror to see that it is a full-size mask. It seems smaller than normal when you first wear it, because it just doesn't seem substantial enough at first. It just floats there. Absolutely remarkable piece of gear.
I now welcome LDUB and Mr. Umpire to chime in and automatically disagree as they do with everything certain people say.
