You could begin by buying some punctuation. Sheesh.

I would go with this mask, the west vest one.

http://www.umpirejoewest.com/umpiremasks.htm

or this mask the new titanium one,

http://www.honigs.com/detail.asp?Cat=2&Sub=36&Item=1064

both are super light and very comfortable.

The WV mask is the only one I have used since 1997, and this year I will wear the Titanium one with my new WV Gold and they both feel great on. BTW, I used the same WV mask from the fall spring of 97 until this year. Needless to say it was very durable.

It's not school. It's just common courtesy. If you want to be taken seriously, then post as an adult.

I am constantly amused when we umpires talk about a LIGHT mask. Come on, guys!

The Wilson Titanium weighs 1.10 lbs, the Davis Ice Gray weighs 1.45 lbs., the Wilson New View weight 1.45 lbs., the Wilson Dyna Lite weighs 1.98 lbs., and the Wilson Shock FX helmet weighs 3.50 lbs.

If your neck can't support ANY of these, don't worry about the mask, work on the strength of you neck!

I've been around long enough to remember the days before the lightweight mask. After using my first lightweight mask I couldn't imagine how I ever used the old clunker.

Maybe I can help turn this thread back on subject.

The weights you mentioned are incorrect due to no fault of your own. You are simply quoting the "shipping weight" listed for each mask on Gerry Davis's website.

I can't speak for their calculation of shipping weights, but you can find actual weights of 13 masks and helmets here (click link and scroll to bottom) :

Your link got skewed somewhere in the process of posting it, so for those looking for it, http://www.ump-attire.com/service/bu...pire_mask.html is the correct one. The actual link got truncated with an elipsis in the middle of it.


Not to keep the thread off track, but it was nice to meet you at the NCAA meeting this weekend!

You post is incredibly difficult to read - if you want to be taken seriously (which is a stretch anyway) write like a normal person.

Wilson Dyna-Lite, Honig's Single Bar, or Wilson Titanium (if money is no object). Thats my advice.

jl2207,

I understand Honigs has a special going on where, if you buy their punctuation "starter package", they'll throw in some free capitalization. Man, I would have run out of breath before finishing all that. Oh, and "school" has nothing to do with it.

I use a Wilson DynaLite, which I've been quite happy with.

Guess I missed all the excitement, as I see some items are now missing!
