Nice collection. So which is your "go to", or in what order do you like them?

Just got the Nike and love it! It’s unbelievable light. (Probably going to put the Wilson Ti up for sale soon.) I have neck issues (herniated discs),  but I’ve been using the Force3 in college games. I use the Wilson Aluminum in most High School games.

I wear a Nike Ti also along with the Zero gravity for the same reason.  I had two ruptured discs. Can't wear the heavy Wilson anchors.

Stk004,

That’s a real nice mask. I especially like the grey pads. I’ve got grey and black Wilson pads on my diamond ix3. Just wondering though, with a mostly grey mask like that, what shirts do you wear with that?

I wore it with Bermuda blue the other day. Would look good with 2016 panel blue as well. What I'm really excited for is to wear it with the 2016 black panel shirt because it'll match the gray panels.

I’m thinking of buying that mask, is it really that good?

I love it. I'm sure there's a handful of posts between @MadMax and myself that go into the specifics of the mask. I don't want to sidetrack this beautiful thread too much but I'd be happy to discuss it someplace else.

Do they show these pads on their site?

Someone (maybe @Thunderheads) posted a picture of the All-Star catalog and these pads were featured. Last I checked they're not listed on the website but you can call and order.

Thanks.  You didn't by chance ask about the availability of the black mask did you?

I didn't. Someone mentioned that All-Star would have them available in the near future, but IIRC they aren't selling them yet.

The guy who handled my order for the mask asked All Star and he told me they said they weren't available yet.

I’m sure it’s just the lighting in the top pic, but  the Velcro straps kind of remind me of this:

@blue32 hahaha the straps are actually lighter than the pads themselves. I'd say the color difference on the bottom pad is how they look in person.

If the straps were black or a really dark grey that would be one of the sexiest masks in existence imho.
