Rip-It helmet with mask is the best choice IMO, unless you can find the helmet and mask ULL uses. I wish I knew what they were..........
If anyone finds out what helmet and mask that is I would like to know also. Wonder if the mask has been modified.
We did the same Riseball! TB team just switched sponsors and somehow ended up with Schutts again although Under Armour is official sponsor. Not sure how much I like it as we have been with Mizuno for years. Anyway, in years past we would pull the facemask off and put on a Rip-it. We may try to do it again.

Rip-it is the helmet to beat IMHO. Although dd just got a new version Schutte. Not bad. Problem with every company but Rip-it is it looks like the football design team did the mask. And people, let's design it to keep 11 or 12" softballs out, not golf balls. And it needs to deflect a softball 1-15 times a year max not 10,000 times at 70mph on an immovable test dummy.

Cajun engineering. Use a Dremel to cut theach top bar off. Agreed with rip it helmets. Their wire is very thin
Unfortunately you can only get away with that in college or ISF. It will not fly with the alphabets where the mask is required.

All-Star helmet, but a different mask...
ULL mask definitely looks modified.
EDIT:
Rawlings mask...

Def looks like some cajun modification. On the right side you can still see part of the original bar sticking out a little.
I would suggest having your DD try on a lot of different helmets to find one that she likes, but be careful as most TB and HS teams provide matching helmets for their players. If you are handy with a screwdriver and maybe a drill, you can change out the facemask on most helmets to one your DD likes.
