Yes, there are some still around(mostly L/XL which are too big for her head), and my DD loves the helmet. The conundrum is that if anything goes wrong with the helmet, they won't replace it or fix it, but give you a Wilson voucher for "like value" of the helmet. The grill on the mask broke after one season of use. This wasn't a connector issue or anything like that, a metal bar broke in two. She dropped the helmet off her head maybe 5 times all year, and there was no dent or bending of the mask. It just sheared like there was a defect in the bar. We haven't tried the new Wilson Baseball Catcher's gear, but from all reports I'm reading, it's not a good fit for fastpitch players.

I honestly expected a new line of fastpitch catcher's gear, probably under the Slugger brand, after Wilson dropped such a quality line, but that hasn't happened.
