Also... why the HSM and traditional masks? I like the con-cushion. I haven’t gotten hit up there in a while so I’m not sure how much additional protection it offers. But you don’t really feel it once you get it on. I have noticed if it’s too low/too loose it sits weird on your hat. I bought the HSM once Ump-Attire put them on sale. Figured I’d try it out. The visibility is fantastic and it’s pretty comfortable. I’ve worn it 4 times now and I definitely plan to keep using it throughout the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From left to right: Mizuno Titanium with tan Team Wendy pads and a Belgard harness. Force 3 HSM with Samurai Gears throat guard. Black All-Star magnesium with the deerskin pads. Belgard harness as well. Both traditional masks also have a black Gerry Davis con-cushion. I have another Samurai Gears TG that I put on the traditional masks, depending on which one I'm using. Loving that Mizuno!!!!! That's a neat looking frame! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfe_man Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 1. Adidas with All Star MAG grey pads (I need a new pic as I've added a silver visor now too) 2. Nike Steel/Wilson (your call) with All Star MAG navy pads and Spyder in gunmetal. Markwort rainbow-colored visor (more blue than anything else). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a very good color and looks even better in the sunlight. 4 minutes ago, Scissors said: Thinking of getting my FM25 powdercoated either in that or maybe a royal blue. Would grey pads look weird with a blue frame? It would offer a good contrast. To each their own. If you can match it to a shirt, then it's fair game as far as I'm concerned. Someone on here has a very unique gold frame with tan TW's. You'll get some guys that say they'd never wear it, but it isn't their mask. There are times and places where a unique mask is not only appreciated but almost needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to paint that visor matte black. Krylon spray paint. $6.49 and it'll look a whole lot better on that frame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a buddy that has a royal blue Wilson mask he wears with TOC royal blue shirts in summer ball. I think he posted a pic of it in the equipment section when we talking about Tony's powder-coating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look fine, but see how it could look? Imagine this all blacked out with black pads too. Awesome! Might need a Batman logo on the chin piece then though.

wolfe_man Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Current lineup: Adidas (gunmetal with silver Diamond visor) Nike Steel (gunmetal with gunmetal Spyder and Markwort rainbow visor) AS MAG black matte with stock Spyder Diamond ix3 gloss black (TG will be switched to Spyder if used - probably will sell it) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BT_Blue Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 I found that my Spyder didn't hang properly on my old Diamond until I got it chopped. It would either sit to far back on the inside. Or to far forward on the outside. BYMMV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I worry about Keith, here is a better photo of my MAG w/Shovel and smoke color visor. No spray paint cans in sight. I'm not sure how I would feel about painting it black. As the visor is actually visible with the Cobalt skully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
