TW retrofitted platinum up for grabs. This is the 12 inch version. The padding is in great shape. The plastic plates have some scuffs and smudges but that is just aesthetic and happens to all CP’s over time. I really don’t know how much to ask for this since a market price is not readily accessible so I’ll just try to field offers. I can’t seem to get the pics to load so if you’re interested send me a message and I can email or text pics. I can also answer any question so

Bump. Any offers welcome

Force3 V2 chest protector up for sale. It’s only been used in two games so it’s almost brand new. Looking to get $200 out of it but I’m open to other offers.

This is really interesting. However, Don't most concussions happen when struck around the chin area? I realize that they can happen as a result of sustaining an impact to any part of your mask but I was under the impression that the "kill zone" was around the chin area. So it seems as if this extra pad wouldn't stop the majority of impacts that result in concussions ( just my uninformed opinion)

It sure is

Yep. I have the old gen Wilson that you sold me. I’m pretty sure it’s that same color also but with the “strut less” integrated throat guard still attached

I actually measured the old gen Wilson that I have and then measured a current dyna lite because I was curious why the old gen seemed to have a better view. It was then that I realized the old gen was actually wider. Who knew

An interesting note about the two dyna lite generations: the old gen mask is actually wider than the current gen, thus yielding a better line of sight out of it.

I actually couldn’t wear a 6 stitch with the stock all star top pad, at least not comfortably anyway. I actually replaced the top pad with a black TW pad that I had from another mask so as to create enough standoff distance to get a 6 stitch cap under there (I don’t even own a 4 stitch hat). That is one downside to the mask.

The sight lines are surprisingly good given the thickness of the bars. As @Stk004 illustrated for all of us with his pics in a different thread on here, the bars are somewhat thick, especially if you’re used to wearing titanium. However, All-Star has dang near perfected the art of bar shaping, crafting the bars in a way that improves sight lines when looking through the mask and illuding your brain into thinking that the bars are not so thick. (regarding their experience with I-bar tech). Thus, the sight lines are very good once you get used to this. Additionally, the eye port is perfectly positioned so as to create an optimal sight line. So to answer your question about sight lines, I never had an issue with them. We have all heard about how light the mask is and how comfy the pads are so I’ll just leave those topics be. In conclusion, I was extremely satisfied with the mask and I’m so glad my friend was generous enough to let me try it out in the JV game we worked together. I just wish it wasn’t so gosh darn expensive or I’d buy one in a heartbeat.

There’s something about the old gen mask with the strut-less ear guards that looks unique.

I actually got to use it in a game. I umpired a high school JV game with my friend who had one and he let me use it for my game on the plate

I can’t seem to find where replacement mag pads are sold. I can’t find them on All-Star’s website.

I got the chance to test drive the All Star Mag from a buddy of mine. Let me just second the fact that it feels amazing. The price however does not make you feel amazing

Great transaction with @wolfe_man, Fast shipping, great communication. Just a great guy to do business with.

Bump. $100 Shipped

I have a Wilson Gold in the M-L size that I would like to sell. It’s only been used 4 or 5 times so it is basically brand new. Looking for $110 and I’ll split shipping with the buyer (OBO). No harness is included. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll text you pics and answer any questions you have thanks

Anyone else ever had a tailor that look at you like you're crazy when you walk into the shop with shin guards? I walked in with shin guards once and explained the situation and she still looked baffled. It was just a funny situation all around that I still laugh about to this day.

This could be incredibly lucrative for someone who has access to a 3D printer and the skills/experience with CAD programs to make this work.

I am in the same boat as @wolfe_man, depending on the price point i'd definitely be interested in the nike steel platform as well.

However, if you read the product description on this webpage, it says "a padded Y-back", which I assume is referring to the yoke harness of the Schutt

The one in the OP looks like a Wilson due to the angle in the U bar but I’m not sure that those ear guards are Wilson. Seem to be more angled and bigger than the ones on the Wilson catcher masks

Thanks Guys!

Hey guys, one more quick question.. does anyone who has a 13 inch Douglas know what the width of the bottom plate is? I’ve heard that the 12/13 inch models aren’t as wide as the 15 inch model. I think the 15 inch model’s middle plate is about 15 inches in width.

Yeah I have been looking into Champion as well. Only thing that I'm not quite sure about is that neck pad. I'm assuming this could be removed though
