Anyone know why it is so cheap?

Is it less protective, less durable, .... ?

Specifically comparef to the one I originally asked about
Legends Athletic Supply: DIAMOND LIGHTWEIGHT UMP MASK
As stated by Steve, the first is the base line model, and it is very heavy. The second is the ultra light weight one. Both will protect fine, and if you don't care about weight, and want to save some dough, then go for the $30 mask.I have used the heavy mask for about 7 years, and just got the ultra light weight one. Can't wait. Feels like it fits nicer and more comfortable than my first mask.
