I'm throwing out a recommendation for this product. DD took a hard hit to the face mask at 3B this week. I wasn't there, but DH said without her mask, she'd have no teeth on at least one side of her mouth. She was loopy for a minute, then fine. Passed all the concussion tests. The next morning she had a bruise that was barely visible and her jaw was sore. It was a lot better than the alternative, which would've been out the rest of the season while she got reconstructive surgery on her face. I know one of the complaints about facemasks is the lack of testing and objective evidence that they work. One story isn't exactly objective evidence, but I can at least testify that in this particular case, the mask saved her face. It also appears to be completely intact. DH inspected it afterwards and can't detect anything bent, loose, etc.
