What mask do you prefer?

The best mask I ever had seems to have disappeared from the market. It's very light and made of some sort of black resin. My ultra-light (also from +POS) was dented up and knocked out of line after one season.

This year I decided to splurge on the kevlar All-Star helmet. I suspect I'll be the only softball ump in NJ using one.

Those +POS masks are now being sold on E-bay for more than the original price!

I used one for a couple of seasons, like the weight but was never happy with the visibility. I bought a Pro-Nine lightweight with suede pads and really enjoyed it for most of last season. I found a Diamond model DFM-UMP at the umpire store a couple of weeks ago and had to have it. This is the lightest one I've seen yet! Have yet to use it, got rained out this weekend, but it sure feels nice, and visibility is great. The Mrs. wound up with the PRO-NINE, and we both still have the old +POS masks. May put those on E-bay sometime!
