    Comments about RIP-IT Youth Defense Pro Mask with Blackout Technology:

    My daughter is HS age, has used the plastic game face for years at our request. We recently purchased the rip it for an increased field of view. The mask has never been a factor in seeing the ball, a welcome piece of mind for my daughters beautiful face. We have never doubted her abilities, just never wanted to risk an accident while we have such wonderful products on the market. If your daughter plays infield, this is a must have.

      Comments about RIP-IT Youth Defense Pro Mask with Blackout Technology:

      This fits my daughter really well, and I bought it because it appeared to not prohibit her field of view. I was correct. My daughter can see everything. I wish the chin strap wasn't velcro, but if it breaks I think it's an easy fix. It fits well and is easily adjustable. Definitely recommend it.
