Pitcher mid-delivery wearing a black RIP-IT Defense Pro fielder's mask

A comeback line drive doesn't wait for your reflexes. The Defense and Defense Pro fielder's masks give her a wider field of view and better peripheral vision, fit over ponytails, braids and glasses, and stay light enough to wear every inning — in the circle or at the corners.

Sound familiar?

The icks of face masks that get in the way of the game.

  • Bars right where you're looking.

    Narrow openings and thick frames hide the ball at the exact moment it's coming back at you.

  • It fights your hair.

    Straps that weren't made for ponytails, braids or a full head of hair slip, pull, and never sit right.

  • Glare, sweat, repeat.

    Sun flashes off shiny bars. Padding soaks through by the middle innings and gets gross fast.

  • “Nobody else wears one.”

    So it stays in the bag — until the one line drive nobody could have reacted to.

The best mask is the one she actually wears. So we made it easy to see through.
