For those of you who have or are thinking of getting a Rip-It facemask we've found that it's very easy to lose the chin pad. The velcro loses it's effectiveness after a while. The good news is that Rip It sent me a new pad for free after we lost one. To prevent it from happening again I made a hole in the foam pad and used a nylon zip tie to loosely attach it. DD can still adjust the pad but hopefully it won't get lost again.
Schutt makes a similar mask and it looks to me like the pad is better attached. It still uses velcro but it looks like it might be easy to replace the velcro when necessary.
