I’ve used the gear in a tournament and it fells great it feels light and does not hurt when you block balls
Looks professional and fits amazingly. My daughter said it looks bulky but I think after she starts using it in games she will appreciate the durability of the helmet.
Got one for my oldest son and another for youngest. They both love it, comfortable and great protection! Best helmet in market!
My daughter loves the way this gear fits. It’s comfortable to wear and is breathable. She likes that she can comfortably wear her glasses/sunglasses under the helmet and that she doesn’t have to take them off in order to put the helmet on or take it off like she had to with her previous one. The leg guards fit great after adjusting the straps and are easy to move around. She says that the impact from foul balls/wild pitches is significantly less than her other gear. She doesn’t like the pastel pinks and purples that are marketed for girls her age. She likes that she could choose her team colors but still add some customization to her set. We get a lot of compliments from people- instructors, parents, other players, coaches. The helmet stands out with the springs. We just ordered face masks for her and she sister, ready to give them a try and throw out the rip it brand ones they have since we have been so happy with the catchers gear.
Fits great looks great. 14 year old son loves the fit.
Unbeatable protection.
I purchased a catchers set for my son less then a year ago. I felt like this gear would do the best job protecting my son. He is 17, playing high school and travel ball and put this equipment to the test every single day. He plays baseball year round, always grinding. A couple weeks ago he took a foul ball off the face mask and broke the clip, which I believe to be normal wear. I ordered the repair kit (that is an awesome option by the way). While trying to make the repair I found the allen hardware to be impossible to remove. I tried the tool supplied, and I bought new tools and could not get this fixed. I reached back out to Force3 and they decided to warranty the whole mask and just sent out a new one. I was floored by this move. I can not express how much I appreciate this replacement and how much you guys stand behind your equipment! An absolute stand up company with great people! Thank you all again for the perfect customer service!
My son loves his new mask. He says its much more comfortable and that he doesn't feel a thing when he takes a hit.
The helmet is for my 12yo son who needed new bigger and upgraded gear. He immediately said he could feel the deference in feel and visibility.
This is our 4th set of gear we’ve bought for our son. It’s a home run every time. Excellent gear and the price point is unmatched!
safest helmet on the market

Helmet strap comes loose when removing helmet in game. We’ve switched buckles and makes no difference. Shouldn’t have to tape straps on a brand new high end helmet
Hi Allen, thanks for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the strap issue. Please contact our support team. Your safety and satisfaction are important to us. Email us at support@force3progear.com.
Seems to be ok, would like to have had Black in stock.
Great helmet
Helmet is amazing, was sent the wrong color but they overnight shipped the replacement and it delivered in time for a tournament.
Hi Mitchell, we're thrilled to hear you love the helmet and appreciate our quick service! Best of luck at your tournament!

My boy loves it. Has used it for a week longevity will tell the story, but looks really durable!
Everything fits as expected. Easy to adjust. The gear is very high quality. We haven’t been able to use it very much since we just received it. However, everything to this point has been great.
Awesome gear. Super protective too.
Works great
