Why the Rip-It Defense Pro Stands Apart
Most fielder's masks force you to trade visibility for protection. The Rip-It Defense Pro eliminates that compromise. Its open-frame geometry maximizes sightlines while its durable steel construction — tested to the FASTER standard — absorbs and distributes impact force exactly when you need it. Whether you're tracking a line drive up the middle or charging a bunt, the Defense Pro keeps you protected and in command.
What Makes the Defense Pro the Right Choice
👁 Optimized Visibility for Peak Performance
The open-frame design gives you a completely unobstructed view of the field. See the ball earlier, react faster, and make more plays — the Defense Pro's geometry is built to keep your eyes on the game, not the mask.
⚡ Lightweight Construction — Feel the Difference
Built with lightweight materials that minimize weight without sacrificing structural integrity, the Defense Pro disappears on your face. Play full games, back-to-back, without fatigue from your gear.
💧 Moisture-Wicking Technology to Keep You Dry
Advanced moisture-wicking padding pulls sweat away from your skin in real time. Whether it's a hot summer tournament or a humid night game, the Defense Pro keeps you dry, comfortable, and mentally sharp from the first inning to the last.
☀ Blackout Technology — Cut the Glare
A specially formulated coating on the interior of the mask neutralizes glare from direct sunlight and stadium lighting. Stop losing the ball in the lights — Blackout Technology keeps your focus locked on the play, not the glare.
🏳 Adjustable Ponytail Straps for a Secure Fit
The Defense Pro was designed with female athletes in mind. The adjustable ponytail-compatible straps secure the mask firmly to your head without uncomfortable pinching or slipping, no matter how intense the action gets.
FASTER Certified — Tested for Real Impact Protection
The Rip-It Defense Pro is tested and certified to the FASTER (Fielding Area Safety Technology and Equipment Review) standard — the benchmark for softball fielder's mask safety. It is approved for use in all softball leagues using 11" or 12" regulation softballs. No known league prohibits the use of a fielder's mask, making the Defense Pro legal everywhere you play.
