Blue Gauntlet's most basic mask is $48. The BG "Olympic" mask is $55. The Fencing Post's low end mask (probably the same as the BG mask) comes out at $47 when you factor in the 20% e-mail discount. Fencesmart (that's the Stan Bardakh outfit's new budget vendor-- <a href="http://www.fencesmart.com" target="_blank">www.fencesmart.com</a> ) has a $53 mask. Triplette's low-ender is $55.
So around $50 is probably as low as you'll get, unless you want to take that "AMERICA'S BEST!"-mask-on-upsidedown doofus from E-bay up on his 30 year old Castello mask .

Some, as in, you are going to purchase more than one?
I find that Triplette's lowest costing mask is quite the deal for strength and quality. Non-fancy interior and exterior material are not comfortable but hold up over time.

I agree, they hold better up than the BG, Santelli and PC masks that we have. They also fit better to begin with.
