Force3 Defender V3

I don't see this question yet (or could be that it is just buried in the 3 dozen unread topics in my list), but has anyone gotten their hot little hands on a Defender V3? If you have, thoughts?

Maybe I am wrong. According to the link on their website, it is still a v2. But it mentions using a "chrome alloy construction" and the mask weighing 17 ounces. That would be only 2 ounces more than a fully loaded All Star FM4k MAG.

I seem to remember the v2 coming in at around 21 ounces with the v1 at 24 ounces.

Are they on V3 for the HSM, maybe?

🤷 who knows. But like I said. I thought the v2 standard mask clocked in at around 21oz. If they are saying 17oz now. That should qualify is a whole new version of this rig.

The v2 was 27oz!? If that is the case and website is correct, the new version is almost a full pound lighter!

By the way, what website are you referring to?  I'm on Force3 and don't see anything like that listed

Thought I shared the link earlier but guess I didn't. It is directly from the "traditional mask" page on tge Force3 website.

Ok, I only see info that says 27 oz and zero info on something that's 'coming soon'

Ok... I feel like a dummy. I could swear I saw 17 ounces. Might have been a Facebook post. But good luck to me finding it.
