The new Schutt Titanium mask arrived today. Pretty happy with the weight difference to her steel Schutt. Saved 3 oz which is 25% weight savings. Not happy with the foam head band. It is the same super soft comfort foam that will do nothing for absorbing an impact. I'm going to try my hand and making a better head band using the foam from my racing days.

Honestly, do you really think you know more about protective headgear than SCHUTT? They make all manor of sports protective gear, including pro football helmets. Do you really believe your backyard solution using foam padding intended for racing seats will offer better protection? Most likely the foam you are using is too firm, and will transfer the impact energy, rather than absorb it.
Fit the Schutt mask correctly, and keep it in good repair, and it will offer excellent protection for your DD. I've personally seen many direct impacts to these masks (mostly rip-it masks) and the girls pop up like nothing happened, the padding (when in good condition) does it's job of absorbing the impact.
