- Best Anti-Concussion mask on the market
After many years of designing, prototyping and testing, Force3 is proud to introduce the next generation of baseball face masks, the Force3 Defender. The Defender is truly an amazing technological creation that will revolutionize equipment forever. Independent tests conducted by one of the four independent National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) approved testing facilities in the world, concluded that nothing comes close to the protection as the Defender. With virtually the same footprint of a traditional mask, the Defender’s patent pending technology reduces the Severity Index of most impacts by up to 50% in most cases.
G-Forces were also reduced with impressive results. Tests included impacts by 70mph softballs (NOCSAE standard), and 100mph baseballs (results available upon request). Currently the Atlanta Braves, Minnesota Twins, LA Dodgers, Colorado Rockies, Tampa Rays and Boston Red Sox are early adopters of the mask, and have several within each organization.
*NOCSAE® does not have traditional catcher’s mask standards, and that these masks have not been certified as compliant with any NOCSAE® standard.
