Hmmm... weird, i just put my CP and all of my shirts (navy and powder), and i could not see either the straps or the red W that you claim shows through...

I have cliff keens, so maybe that's different from what you own which would show through.

Hey all,

Black duct tape on the CP straps and black electrical tape on the mask straps. No slippage AND a clean and professional look.

Why put tape, of any color, on mask straps?

[LomUmp]

Hey all,

I adjust the straps, cut to leave about an extra 1-2" and tape down to hold in place and clean the look.

I have been having a miserable afternoon. It's snowing, my basketball game's been postponed, and I'm in a bit of a funk for some reason.

And then the Riddell Power showed up on my doorstep this afternoon.

I've tried it on. Need to adjust the straps, etc. but I can see why people want to get one. It's the perfect balance of a hard shell but lightweight protector.

I have an option to buy it and it looks like I probably will.

Rich, if you are having such a bad day, let me ask: You willing to sell the power so your day can get a little better?

It's not mine to sell. I was promised a "friend price" and if I don't keep it, it goes to someone else or back to the owner.

It's not going back, though. 4 or so basketball checks pay for it.

I went up on ebay and I couldn't find a Riddell Power CP (I never can), but this time, I did come across a rare Riddell Black and Red umpire's mask.

You can buy it now for only $29.00, or make an offer!
