This mask fits great. Better than the Wilson I was using and is much lighter. Offers a better view.

Great light weight umpire mask. Open plenty of vision, almost as much as some hockey style mask. Extremely tough. Taken more than one foul to the mast and more that does it job. Few of them, if not for mask being moved would not have believed there was impact. Highly recommend.

This mask is very versatile and gives yourself excellent vision. A great purchase if doing a lot of games. The only thing I didn’t like was the harness which I may upgrade in the future.

Very nice umpire mask. Lightweight and good field of vision. A great choice for those long tournament days.

I really like this umpire mask. It is weightless compared to my old leather padded mask. It is easy to wear for longer period of times like when you have double headers or tournaments. Overall I recommend!

Love my new mask. Coming from an All-Star hockey style I was worried about losing some of my field of vision, but this has a great field of view. The lightness is a huge plus! Love this new mask.

Great mask and exceptional value. The LUC pads are everything All-Star says they are and more. They do not absorb moisture at all. Very lightweight and provide excellent vision.

Excellent umpire mask. I've used it for multi-day weekend USSSA tourneys (12+ games) as well as varsity level high school games. Lightweight, excellent visibility, pads are very comfortable. I've taken several foul shots off of it with no ill effects to me or the mask. 100% confident I will be relying on this several years to come.

I bought this umpire mask for my son to replace his much heavier mask. The first noticeable thing was how light it is. He has already taken a foul ball off of it and no harm to him or the mask. He said it is very comfortable and is extremely pleased with the purchase. I would recommend this mask for somebody ready to upgrade.

Excellent, light weight umpire mask. Have taken multiple foul balls and protected well.

To be honest I purchased this umpire mask because the magnesium mask price range was out my league. Then I was at an umpires clinic in Westchester, NY. I saw an All-Star bag next to a table there she was, a silver magnesium mask. The gentleman said "I don't like it, use to my bucket" he said. Then he said "give me a hundred dollars and it's yours". So now I have both masks, but this black mask vision lines takes the cake, in my opinion.

Love it. Light and the matte black finish was a great choice.

This umpire mask is outstanding. It's light but made of steel so I am confident it will hold up. The pads and harness are comfortable to be worn all day. Great field of view to see all of the action on the field. Pads provide excellent protection. All-Star has a hit with this umpire mask. It can handle any level of baseball.

I have two of these FM4000 hollow-steels (sadly bought before they were carried by Ump-Attire.com). Great to see them here - especially in black (I had to pay a powder coater - getting them for this price is a steal.) Great vision, great pads, and light! And I saw at least one MLB ump wearing the FM4000 last year, and at least one Tiger catcher as well.
Has anyone taken a direct hit with a foul or a totally missed pitch? I want to know how it absorbs the shock. I currently have the Champro mask that came in the starter set. Plus, I also need a mask that fits while wearing glasses. A Wilson doesn't fit with my glasses. – Ralph Moeller
A:
The I-BAR VISION construction of this mask, along with the curved forehead shaping, disperses and deflects impact. This mask has plenty of room for either your prescription glasses or sunglasses.

Q:
I have the mask. It feels great but what throat guard would you prefer on it that looks good on it beside All-Star? – Franky Gonzalez
Is this mask safe for college level? – Stephan R. Brown
A:
Yes! You will be protected in this umpire mask.
– Palmer Thompson Customer Service Specialist, Football Official
Q:
Are Team Wendy pad compatible with All-Star System 7 masks? Are tan pads an option with an All-star System 7 mask? – D Ray Tucker
A:
Due to the I-Bar frame design, the center Velcro strap of the chin mask pad must be split down the middle to accommodate the frame and properly attach. Team Wendy pads, in black or tan, would need to have the center Velcro strap of the chin mask pad cut down the middle. See all colors of All-Star pads, including tan Deerskin HERE.
– Ty Unthank Marketing Specialist, HS & College Umpire
Q:
Will the Team Wendy Pads fit on this mask? – Stephan R. Brown
A:
Initially no due to the center I-Bar of the mask splitting the chin pad center Velcro strap. You would need to cut vertically the center Velcro strap of the chin Team Wendy mask replacement pad to accommodate the center I-Bar.
– Brandon Lawson Support Specialist, Pro Umpire School Graduate and Umpire, Football Official & Basketball Referee
Q:
How is this mask for college and semi pro ball? – Stephan R. Brown
A:
All-Star is a trusted brand by umpires at all levels. With current reviews all meeting 5-stars, the hollow-steel bars and curved forehead to disperse impact should help to protect you well at any level.
– Ty Unthank Marketing Specialist, HS & College Umpire
Q:
Could I wear a 6-stitch cap under this mask? – Jp Harper
A:
You "could" wear a 6-stitch cap, but we highly recommend a 4-stitch cap to avoid contact between the brim of your cap at the frame of an umpire mask.
– Brandon Lawson Support Specialist, Pro Umpire School Graduate and Umpire, Football Official & Basketball Referee
Q:
What kind of pad is on this mask? – Steve Martin
A:
These mask pads are All-Star's Ultra Cool pads. They are constructed of foam wrapped in moisture wicking fabric.
