FORCE3 PRO GEAR GAME-CHANGERS:
- Designed in the USA
- Patented dual mask S3 Shock Suspension System significantly reduces the force of frontal impacts
- Independently tested by one of four National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) approved testing facilities in the world
- NOCSAE tests showed that the Force3 Defender Mask drastically reduced G-Force levels from 70mph softball and 100mph baseball impacts and established the Defender as the clear-cut leader in sports equipment safety.*

- Tubular alloy construction is incredibly strong and lightweight, keeping the mask at only 27 ounces and making it our lightest and most protective mask ever
- Powder-coated, single bar construction for superior finish and an unrestricted view of the field
- Padding is lined in DuPontTM Kevlar™ - An integral part of Force3’s Patented S3 Shock Suspension System for ultimate force dispersion
- Highly-engineered and tested high-impact memory foam surrounds the Kevlar™ for ultimate comfort
- BUILT TO LAST – Covered with synthetic leather for protection from damaging UV rays, entire interior is also encapsulated in a plastic coating to repel sweat and prolong the life of the mask
- Top-grade genuine leather insert holds mask firmly in place and increases breathability where mask touches skin
- Entire mask is designed to counterbalance the S3 Shock Suspension System, making the Defender feel even lighter than it actually is
- An Official Catcher’s Mask Partner of the MLBPA, the Defender Mask is the #1 mask in the major leagues and is permanently enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame
- One size fits all

WHY DUPONT™ KEVLAR®?
• PROVEN PROTECTION - Kevlar® has been used by law enforcement and the
military for decades
• ABRASION & PUNCTURE RESISTANCE - Kevlar® fiber boosts impact abrasion resistance, lessens wear, provides puncture protection and tear resistance
• LIGHTWEIGHT - Kevlar® fiber is five times stronger than steel (on an equal
weight basis), providing lightweight strength without sacrificing
performance or protection
• STRONG & RUGGED - Kevlar® fiber maintains its high-performance qualities,
like tensile strength, even after repeated stress and strain
