| Dec. 11, 2013 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | Question for Mad Dog and others Hey Bob, in the discussion on face masks, you speak highly of the Ripit. Just wondering about your thoughts on the mask from the standpoint that I wear glasses. Is it adjustable enough to accomodate glasses? Others thoughts, as well? Thanks |
| Dec. 11, 2013 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | i have used my sunglasses underneath the rip-it mask with no problem.....mine came with a visor that Velcro's to the top,i didn't care for that as i don't wear a hat when playing.......a few weeks back when we had a cold spell here i even used my stocking/beanie cap underneath it....to me the rip-it has the best vision among the masks...i have used the gameface and the combat faceoff,and both of those cut off some of your down vision at your feet,unless you make a real effort to look down...i also have the worth pitching helmet,which is nice and light but does have a vision prol down low(at your feet)if you happen to not look down completely..... for me its a metal mask or nothing,as i don't trust the plastic ones...... |

The big problem with Game Face is that visibility is somewhat affected on ground balls. I even wear my mask in rec and league play, and so have learned to field grounders by instinct which works until there is a bad hop! =)And of course, any fielding errors I make on ground balls are always "bad hops" (my teammates are gracious). |
| Dec. 15, 2013 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | Thanks, Mad Dog and Omar K, for your thoughts. I was able to find a Ripit in one of the local sportings goods store in Birmingham and believe that it will work out well. I have never worn a mask, but figure that all other associations will soon follow SSUSA, so I will just start wearing it now. God bless and Merry Christmas/Happy New Year. |
