Blackout Technology

See the ball.

When you put protective equipment on you are creating a barrier between you and the ball. This barrier, while designed to protect, often makes seeing the ball and making the play more difficult. Blackout Technology overcomes this limitation with its focus on glare reduction and high contrast optics to let you focus on the ball like never before.

Glare is the enemy.

Blackout Technology eliminates 100% of the visible glare that reflects off protective equipment. The result is stunning, and instantly improves your focus on the ball the moment you put on your equipment. Best of all there is nothing you have to do to take advantage of it. You just put it on and go. It just works.

High Contrast Design.

What a difference.

In addition to eliminating glare, Blackout Technology also creates the most contrast possible between the equipment and the ball. What this means to players is a much crisper view of the ball where the ball color and the guard color never match. As a result, you see the ball better on every play.

Blackout Technology is an innovation we are excited to bring to baseball and softball. We know players are looking for every edge possible when playing, and Blackout Technology helps them achieve it. Best of all, since RIP-IT created Blackout Technology you get to use it on the most advanced face guards the sport has ever known.
