+Pos Carbon Composite Mask

I am currently using the +Pos Ultra-Lightweight Composite mask that you will have to pry out of my cold dead hands. Anyway, a friend of mine was looking to purchase one as well, but has since discovered that +Pos has since discontinued that mask.

Does anyone know why? And is the Wilson Model Still available somewhere????? This is a great product and I hope it has not been discontinued.

I noticed the discontinuation, too. Used to be you could get it over the winter for 20% off ($88). I have one, and a friend of mine wants one, but POS+ doesn't seem to have it any longer. "Greatest advance in masks in the past 100 years" was how they advertised it. So where is it today?

Or were there some high-liability failures that they don't want us to know about?

I was able to get POS+ all-cotton navy shirts with red and white trim, even though they haven't been listed in their catalog in a while. My favorite shirt by far.

I read a post on McGriffs stating this mask was discontinued due to cracking problems in cool weather.I was looking to buy one this year,only to find +POS doesnt list them in their catalog or website.

just called up to schaumburg, and they say it hasnt been discontinued, but that they couldnt get them into stock this year. They said by the end of Dec. into the beginning of Jan. But some of us know how reliable +pos is. I guess we will see

For months now the POS+ web site has been saying that they're undergoing major changes and will soon be fully operational, etc.

That's what I'd want protecting my face - a product rushed through production to try to catch up with demand!
