Why does RIP-IT need their own face guard? |
|
The face guard is the most important piece of equipment you use while hitting. It is the only piece of equipment that has a direct impact on how well you see the ball and how well you make contact with the ball.
Unfortunately, when it comes to face guard technology there are three areas in which the other companies fall short. They are Vision, Weight, and Universal Fit. Their failure to meet those basic needs is why we created
the RIP-IT Face Guard.
|
|
The RIP-IT Face Guard addresses the need of Vision, Lightweight, and Universal fit in a way that no other face guard has. It redefines what to expect from a face guard, but more importantly works with you to see
the ball from the moment the pitcher releases it to the point of contact.

The softball face guard is NOCSAE approved for softball use.
The baseball face guard does not require NOCSAE approval.

Vision. See the ball like never before.
The best view for a batter's face guard.
It would be an understatement to say that while batting, seeing the ball is important. Yet, for such an important idea, so many of the face guards available to you do not address this need. They are big, bulky,
awkward, and ineffective at working with you to be a better hitter. The RIP-IT Face Guard addresses this issue by offering a view that is not only unrivaled, but also lets you make better contact with the ball and do it more often.

Design. Meet your potential.
Less is more.
The design of the RIP-IT Face Guard is streamlined. We engineered it with only what was necessary to protect you while focusing on offering the widest, largest viewable area. The result is an opening so large
that you can see rise balls, drop balls, curves, and sliders without the ball ever crossing a bar and limiting your vision. This means you see the ball better and will be a better hitter on every pitch.
Universal Fit.
As if creating big, bulky, awkward face guards wasn't bad enough, the other companies also design their face guard to only fit their helmet. This approach eliminates your freedom to change helmets without buying
new face guards. The RIP-IT Face Guard was built for a Universal Fit and can be attached to most popular helmets. This means when you get new helmets, your RIP-IT Face Guard can be transferred and used again and again saving you
money each year.

Lightweight.
Nobody likes to be weighed down while playing. Yet, all the other face guards offer the same big, bulky, awkward design. While that design technique is terrible for vision, it is equally bad for weight. Too
much weight on the face guard means your helmet is less likely to stay secure while running. The RIP-IT Face Guard takes on this issue by being one of the lightest face guards ever created. The result is a face guard that actually
makes your helmet fit better while running. Which is a good thing since you'll be running to first a lot more often using it.
Blackout Technology.
After creating the original RIP-IT Face Guard we wanted to push the idea of better vision even further. What we came up was Blackout Technology and it is like eyeblack for your equipment, but better.
Blackout Technology coats the inside bars of the face guard with a special matte coating that eliminates 100% of the reflective glare. What this means to you is an even better hitting experience that allows you to focus like never
before on making contact with the ball.

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.
