    Bob's right they have low pricing but I've never seen their products in person.

    Masks are great if you are prepping for a fight and do not want to risk a cut, or just don't want to end up with a deformed face from training :)

    I don't understand i imagine a mask to be like what that weird mexican guy in pride wears he looks like a clown :p
    If you mean headgear with cheekbone protectors by all means get that, but if your talking about sparring head gear with the grills over the front of your face i think it's a little weird because you won't be used to the impact of the punch actually on your face?
    I hope this makes sense.

    No, masks suck. I've fought with two masks and both jutted into my chin so badly that I developed a severe rawness on the inside of my lower lip that stung every time I ate or swallowed for three days.

    Masks suck.

    Just get the Fightgear full face headgear. That's what I own, and it's the best I've ever used.

    Not that I've been around long.
