I had to run to my car during the game and grab a different mask.

I was told by a friend that since it is a "pro" mask, it is non-refundable, even if the mask was defective. I've worn the thing maybe 10 times and now it is useless.


Has anyone else had problems with this mask? If so, I surely wouldn't reccommend it to anyone else...

If the bar on a mask bends and you are able to "fix" it, that is the right time to throw it away. Simply put, once the material was compromised you made it weaker by bending the material back.

Let this be a warning, if you mask is damaged, don't try to fix it - throw it in the nearest trash can. If you don't have another or your partner can't lend you his, guess what? The game is over for today. Under no circumstances should you put on a defective mask - unless you have a death wish!

I agree, I would think most of us carry a spare mask. I have a day and night mask, the difference, shade on my day mask.

My partner a few nights ago had the same thing happen to him with the same mask. Foul ball bent the lower bar real good. He called POS and they told him that there was nothing they could do.
