best umpire mask to buy

Time to turn in my old umpire mask. Any thoughts to which would be my best purchase? I have tried some on that belonged to fellow umpires and they didn't seem to have as much open line of site as my old one. Don't really care to mortgage my house to buy one, but for the money what is the best and where to purchase it? Thanks, Dave

Dave:

I have been using an All Star Ultra Light for about 7 years now, and don't have any complaints about it. It is a medium range priced mask, and has help up well in these hot Texas summers. (The reason that I mention that, is when I am at tournaments during the middle of summer and my gear is left in the truck in this searing heat, I have known of masks where the laminate has checked and cracked really bad. Mine still is holding up.) It is light weight easily adjustable, and provides an excellent field of view.

Sorry...in that last post it should have read "and has held up well..." Again, my apologies.
