Thoughts on FM25EXT?

[ATXBlue]

Found one at Play it Again for $25, could it be a serviceable backup mask?

It's a good mask. But I would search for the hollow steel over solid steel. The weight difference is actually pretty noticeable.

agree w/ Arik here ....... you just need to be sure that what you found is INDEED an "ext" ....   The hollow steel FM25 is, for all intents and purposes, a light mask! (Pads and all = 21oz)

I bought a FM25 from ebay a few years back on all the great recommendations from on here. It turned out to be the solid steel version. I now have a hollow steel as a super back up (hey it was $10 in great condition from PIAS). The weight difference was quite noticeable.
