estogoalie Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 So far it looks like the typical mask weight is around 2.5 to 3.5 lbs. I'm actually surprised that my ReidiC is on the low end of the weight scale. I was always told that ABS masks are heavy and (high-end) carbon-fiber masks are light. But it looks like my ABS mask is equal or lighter weight than high-end carbon-fiber masks. Huh, interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beansbats Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Very interesting thread. When I have time I'll weigh a couple of my masks. Although measuring a mask with cage and foam attached isn't an accurate reflection of shell weight. -steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichMan Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Since using a Reidic, anything else weighs so much more. Heaviest I`ve worn was Simmons (early versions) and Hackva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll say one thing, it was so solid my head never budged when I took a shot off the lid. Sometimes I wouldn't even realize I was hit until I took it off and saw puck marks...lol. Wanna say it was close to 4 lbs when all was said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little on the heavy side, but that's because there's gel in it. Very similar to Maltese's stuff, in fact the company that makes Shocktec(Kemmler Products) was Phil's original source. I like that I can buy direct from the company and just do my own mods with it. A good size roll of 3/8" only costs around $60 and I've used it for everything...masks, player helmets, neck guards, beef up chesty's, knee guards, cups, etc... The only negative other than the weight is it is very difficult to cut cleanly. Heating up a blade is probably the best way, but I've never taken the time to try. They make it with one side finished with a fabric material, so it is very easy to glue as well. I found out about it one day when I was checking out my brother's SWAT gear. They use it as padding under the ballistic armor in their vests and helmets to protect against the blunt force trauma of absorbing a bullet. Fortunately he's never had first hand experience with its effectiveness, but it just felt like nothing I had ever used before, so I looked it up. I can't confirm it, but I know Sara @ PAW is using an "HD Airgel" as an upgrade now, pretty sure its Shocktec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly Kemmler had an issue meeting Phil's orders or demands or whatever and he took his business elsewhere. Personally I think he always wanted it to be proprietary and Kemmler wouldn't go for it. Can't blame him and I'm quite surprised nobody has tried to compete with him yet. The product is readily available and not that expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubatex isn’t completely dried out, but I’d repad it as well as get a new cage for it if I ever wanted to return it to service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s interesting that the Shocktec likely adds ~1/2 lb. Did you do a full Shoctec swap or minimal amounts? Perhaps just a few picks of the guts for us.
