Summary: Great entry level mask.
July 14th, 2003
Of all the entry level (under $75.00) masks out there, I have found this one to be the best. I even prefer its fit and durability to some of the more pricey name brand masks on the

market.



The mask itself has a rounded mesh and head shape that looks a bit different than the more oval masks with a sharp crease in the center. The bib is make of a very tough nylon material and is bright white, almost shiny. The inside padding is very good, almost plush, and mine is a dark blue color. There is also an adjustable forehead pad that that is very useful for getting just the right fit and is a nice surprise on a mask of this price.



The mesh is very durable and springy and resists bents very well. The finish is durable and long lasting, and is also very easy to paint on if you are so inclined.



I only have two real complaints about the mask. The fist is that all that plush padding comes up far enough to cover your ears, and the mask can be hard to hear in if you have a soft-spoken director. The other problem is that the bolts that hold the bib on are not stainless, and will rust with use, discoloring the bib for about an inch around them.



Overall I think this is probably the best mask out there for the money. You could pay more but unless you are dedicated to one brand, or need an FIE mask for competition you would not have to.
