i'm looking for the best light weight mask i can find.
thanks for any recommendations.

I am trying to start a new trend. Can anyone tell me who sells one of those cast iron models like Lee Weyer used to wear, you know, the 3-bar design?:p

i want the mask that Gil Renard (Robert DeNiro) wore in The Fan when he was the umpire at the end.

I still say that this model is the best thing around:

I own the Pro Nine mask and it is very lightweight. I did take a good shot over the left eye bar and it did bend it in a little and it was the first time that I had worn it. I did contact Pro Nine about my mask and they did tell me that they could sell me a new one for $27.00 or something in that price range. They have a dealer that they work with that can sell them for that cheap.

This is being used as my backup mask since I use an Easton Stealth helmet most of the time due to the back stops that I work around.
