RawlingsHI-VIZ Fastpitch Softball Fielders Mask | Youth & Adult

I got this for my 13yo daughter who is a competitive softball player and her league requires facemasks for infielders. She had one which she wore under duress & complained constantly about - couldn't see, was in her way, was uncomfortable, slipped down her brow, etc. We saw this one at Dick's sporting & I immiedly saw it's unique design - the V-bars with no center cross bar and just overall lightness of the frame. She tried it on and loved it. The deal with the bar shaping is that there is no center cross bar to block her vision as her eyes narrow in on a ball into her glove. The mask also has an overall lighter feel with less bars but is still just as protective. She loves how comfortable the fit is - and yes - cool looking. She even wears it in the outfield. She has used it for 4 games now and I can tell she has more confidence when facing hard hit grounders at short and 3rd - keeps her head in and tracks the ball all the way to her glove. Im sure some of the confidence is in the masks function but also a bit is the cool factor - she feels good wearing it so plays with confidence. Also - it is about 40% cheaper on Amazon vs. Dicks. No money better spent on any of her gear to date.

The helmet looks good and fits well its what I wanted I have worn it to batting practice amd no problem

We traded out our RIP-IT mask for this HI-VIZ Rawlings and we are glad that we did.The product does improve visibility, and that was noticed immediately after the first use. In comparison to the RIP-IT, it became common to continually adjust the mask for the best visibility and this was no longer needed with the Rawlings.The mask can fit a variety of face shapes. The product was able to fit an 11 year old as well as an adult male. The straps are designed so you can easily make the fit larger or smaller, and in my opinion, is quite universal. With that said, pay attention to how to straps actually work. If you don't have the straps secured in the clip properly, you may find the mask will loosen unexpectedly. It's not difficult, but pay attention to how they work.The mask appears to have good construction. It is lightweight and has a very professional look to it. The chin pad has a strong Velcro on the back of it that attached to the metal frame. You can remove the pad and position it to your liking. It doesn't come off easily, so you do not have to worry about it falling off our being adjust during normal use.Overall, with the cost of this product falling in the typical range of other masks, I would recommend getting this brand. I believe this product will grow better with a young softball player and it will provide many years of use.

I purchased this for my teenage daughter who is not a fan of wearing a face mask. This is finally a mask that she says doesn’t impede her vision. The adult size was too big for her face but the junior version works well. Her only complain the the strap on top of her head but we were able to use her old strap and now she loves it. Would definitely buy again.

Seems like a good product, but based on this photo I’m not sure what size I received 🤔 (note the size descriptions)

It's not what I was looking for I don't know why they put a photo of a helmet

Fit great, lightweight, good quality & very durable. For the price, you cant beat the protection that this facemask provides. Fits nicely under the helmet as well.

Bars under the eyes are distracting. I got duped by the marketing, as this has less visibility than my old mask. Also, the padding was not as comfortable as I expected. Two stars because it does seem like it has sturdy construction from a protection standpoint, but there are better options for view and fit.
