SKLZ Field Shield. Full-Face Protection Mask Sporting goods

First off, I always buy my products for full price and never accept discounted products for reviews. My rating criteria is as follows. If the product works as is advertised and the quality is in line with the price then I give it five stars tentatively, then deduct stars for usability.I purchased this for my daughter in September 2016 (two months ago) for $23.77--looks like the price has gone up since then. At that cheaper price, it was far and away the best value on Amazon. At the current $33, I this is still a good value, but there are a lot of other choices to sift through. I think anyone would be happy if this is the one they chose.My daughter is about 5'5", so we bought the adult size--it fits fine.I give this five stars because it is high quality, comfortable and does the job, with no visible problems or bad workmanship. It fit perfectly, however (she plays catcher) it is easy to remove to catch a pop-fly. We see this providing value for a long time, but if something falls apart I'll update.

We didn't want to take any chances with our daughter's face being smashed with a ball or ruin the thousands of dollars in orthodontia work in her mouth. I like that this mask had more protection than the other name brand metal masks. I was very surprised how light it is, yet the plastic is very strong. It did take a some time to adjust the straps and get the proper fit. Once we figured it out it fits great. She is 9 years old and we purchased the small/medium size. She loves wearing it! She WANTED to wear it. The best part is that it fits perfectly fine with her regular glasses and it still fits with her rec specs. If you're looking for an inexpensive, high quality but very light face mask, this is the one you want. She has yet to be hit in the face with a ball so I'll update when that happens to report how well the mask took the hit.

Fits comfortable on my daughter, does not slide off her face. Not much adjustment needed for it to fit perfectly on her face. I would highly recommend it.

Our 11yr old daughter (1st base) came to practice with this on and a few of the 6th graders and other teammates started poking fun at her saying anyone who wears a mask is afraid of the ball and needs to play outfield. The next week, on the same day at practice, two girls took grounders to the face. They had to stop practice, moms ran out to check on the girls, crying, one was bleeding, etc... The next week three girls came to practice with the mask on.My daughter says the mask does fit well and overall improves her confidence of diving for an overthrown ball. I only give it 4 stars because we can't find a ball cap or visor for her to wear while out on the field. But she seems to me ok with that for now.

Our 8-year-old daughter decided to play machine-pitch softball this Spring, and a friend suggested we purchase a fielding mask for her. This was our first experience with a child in softball, so we purchased the mask that was suggested.We were nervous that it would be uncomfortable and bother her - or that it would impede her view, but it did not! She loved it, and we felt much more comfortable with her wearing it. She can easily put it on and off herself in a hurry after batting and needing to run out onto the field quickly - both with a ponytail and without. She can adjust it how she feels most comfortable herself. Most of the players on her team wore this same one, and we suggested to the parents of girls NOT wearing one that they should get one.She wore this mask all season - and it is still in excellent / like new condition! She will wear it again next year.It really does make us feel more comfortable about her safety when she is wearing it. She is able to perform fully AND is much, much safer.

I decided to order this mask after looking at the reviews and the price was at least 1/2 of what I was seeing in stores. I ordered this product in the Youth S/M for my 8 year old daughter. The metal face masks are less bulky looking but are a bit heavier and at least double the price. Although I was expecting a fight about wearing the mask, my daughter actually really liked it. She said it was comfortable, it fit her really well and she never once complained about having to wear it. Although we have only used it for one season so far, we haven't had any issues with the quality of the product and would definitely order again.

I bought this item for my 11 year old after she got hit in the face with a softball and broke a tooth. The mask does its job-- it protects her face. However, even with all the adjustments it still leaves a dark red spot on her forehead after she wears it. Figuring for games she wears it up to two hours at a time (taking it off after every inning), I would like this item better if it had a better fit on the forehead. That being said, after we adjusted it and she got used to it, she says it's "pretty comfortable" and she wears it without too much complaint.

I bought this in the youth size for my daughter who is 11 (5'2 105 pounds). It fits her great with room to grow. I tried it on just for fun and it fits me as well (5'5 - 150 pounds - female). I am really glad we didn't go with the adult size, it would have been way too big. She did have a chance to see it in action once, a ball bounced up and hit her mask (Would have been her face if not for this mask!) and it took the hit well. The mask did move a bit out of place (it was really easy for her to move it back into place), but I think it could be tightened a bit more, so that is why that happened (in other words, our fault). She said it is easy to see out of as well which is great and it feels comfortable to wear in the game and at practice with no itchy parts or parts that rub her face the wrong way. This is a great mask!
