Mask

Anyone see the Boston/Tampa Bay game 8/13/2007?
HPU had a Steel [looking] traditional style mask with tan leather or suede pads.

Anyone identify this mask?

Looking for a new one and this one looked nice and comfortable.

Thanks...

Could they be deerskin pads, a light colored tanned leather ?
I imagine a lot of mask manufacturers offer them as anoption.

This is close to what he was wearing last night. They are Doe-skin pads. These pictures are from Gerry Davis Sports website.

Thanks guys. Interested in the wire frame actually.
I have suede pads on mine but I like the Stainless Steel look of the wire. Couldn't tell if it was bare or treated steel or just painted grey.

+POS is marketing a silver frame. Nike has a catchers mask that several MLB players are using, but I haven't seen it for sale. I saw one MLB umpire using the Nike mask, but it had the white "swoosh" marked out with a sharpie. I'm sure it had something to do with Wilsons sponsorship of the umpires.

Thanks Kyle, I saw that +POS mask. Looks sharp but it's made of Aluminum alloy. Very lightweight. Anyone use this mask?

I use one from AllStar that isn't much different than the +POS you are asking about.

Works well - and I love the weight
