Nope, won't do it. Too easy. Will leave the low-hanging fruit to others :D

Honigs has a sale on a single bar lightweight, available in navy. I bought one recently for $14, equipped it with navy harness and tan doeskins and added it to my rotation of black and red masks, also from Honigs.

i was also in the market for a mask this season. i was looking for the best light weight mask available. i tried out honigs and diamond - both have nice light-weight masks, but nothing compares to the POS zero gravity ultra-lightweight mask. it was on back order for several months (no surprise from POS), but it finally came in. it is significantly lighter than the light weight masks i previously mentioned. i love it. feels like your not wearing a mask at all. you won't believe how light it is when you first pick it up.

my AUL is too dinged up to keep using. i like everything about it except that the bars seem to be pretty weak

I took a shot that dented it the first game I wore it. I called +POS and they told me it was a "normal" thing. I told +POS that I'd never buy anything from them again if that was "normal."

Speaking of dented masks, I use a Wilson "New View" and took a shot last season in an adult league game that put a very small dent in it. Does this weaken the mask? Some have said no and others have said yes... what say you?

It would certainly weaken my trust in the mask!

Thanks for the replies - I've now narrowed my choices down to the Wilson Dyna Lite, the Wilson Chrome Moli, the Honigs, Plus+, and All Star - plus the various UHMs.
