| Review: |
This was my second mask I have ever purchased. It's a great mask and so far has the greatest level of visibility of any I have tried. Protects well against direct hits. Never had any issue with it fogging or getting very warm inside. The one problem I do have with this mask is the amount of foam used in it's construction. I play quite often so my equipment takes a great deal of punishment. The back half of the mask is foam covered with material. In just the first 3 months the fabric had already started to separate from foam. I have used crazy glue to keep things together, but I don't think that will last long. If you play as much as I do (3 times a month) this might not be the mask for you. The V-Force grill offers most of the same bonuses as the proto in a much stronger package. |

| Conclusion: |
I would recomend this mask to anyone. Just be aware that it's not as durable as other options. If you play once a month it would be perfect for you. No other mask offers as great a level of visibility as the Proto. |
