Face mask question

[1fingeredknuckler]

I bought the rip it face mask for grand daughter, and with this one due to the way its made, the cushion on the mask under the chin, covers the mouth, because there is a bar there that comes vertical in front. Not a comfortable deal. Is there one made that the cushion does not cover the mouth or are they all made this way, Can't talk with this one.

I think the position of the chin cushion is adjustable. It is secured with velcro and every player I know that has worn one has been able to find a position that was comfortable. The downside is the velcro can loose its grip over time and I ended up using black coaches tape to hold my DD's chin cup in place (mask was over 2 years old).

There is also a youth size and an adult size. If you bought the adult, maybe its too big?

I have not talked to DD about it but I would think if it is too loose you are defeating the purpose a little bit. It needs to be a snug fit.

I've never seen it cover the mouth on any player. Is the chin pad adjusted properly and the head straps set right?

Much better than the Rip it as far as the chin pad is concerned..hands down.

If they can't talk with this mask, could you give me a link? I'd like to order a few.

Ya i shoulda known better than to add that,

SKLZ look at that on amazon, then look at ripit,, i looked at it again last night and there is no adjustment, returning it as of today
Maybe a youth size would bring the foam down, but the mask fit otherwise. I suppose you could trim it, but the vertical bar is right there

Be sure and see the Photo of the SKLZ attached, you won't like it , able to be used verbally


I just called RIP IT,, that piece is velcro, is readjustable, so we'll see if that helps, still like the looks of SKLZ the way it should be.

Is the chin pad facing the correct way? With my DD's Rip-It mask, if the chin pad in put in upside down (rotated 180 deg), it covers the bottom of her mouth and is uncomfortable.

DD has used the SKILZ mask the past 2 seasons,
and likes it fine.
