We bought this mask 1 yr ago. the metal piece that holds the chin pad on snapped off. Would this be the same model from a year ago and it this norm?

Looks like the same mask. I have used it for a few months with no problem. Sure hope it is safe. I play senior ball and a short stop did not have one and took a line drive right to a eye socket and will loose his sight and need extensive surgery, has been in hospital for two weeks.

I'm not familiar--the one we bought, it seems it's all one metal piece, not different pieces molded together. It's a good mask, sorry you had that experience.

This part is plastic and wears down. I replace mine about every 2-3 years. That is if I use the Snow blower during the 2-3 years. I also replace the belt and the pads at the same time.

The only thing that broke on mine was the little clear little plastic triangle that I pour from. It was just one of the ears on it, a pain, but I can still use it. Other than that every things fine. Won't the company replace it? Guess I'ld be ticked if they wouldn't. Use my Ninja at least twice a day. Good luck

I ordered the mask a few months ago from amazon and it came with the head strap. I read in an article somewhere that head straps will come with the mask starting 2013, but do a little more research and questioning to be safe. They sell the straps at their original website. Also my brother just got his and it came with the head strap as well. Good luck! The works mask is great!

Not really sure I've used the one you mention. I do know that this has been a perfect replacement for the previous one. I've had it for nearly a year now, and there has been little if any degradation or loss of seal. I have had to tighten the mask a bit since I first got it, but it has held up better than the original.

I've had my classic Waterpik for 22 years and I'm finally here on Amazon looking to replace it because the hose just broke. The motor still works fine so I could probably take it apart and repair it but I figured it had served me well over the years since I used it almost every day for dental and sinus flushing for my allergies. I know I got my money's worth out of the device.

Yes.., I got it for my 12 year old granddaughter and it fits perfectly. Of course she'll need a new one in a year or two but that's to be expected. I buy a new mask for myself about every two years.

The plastic buckle on our most recent one (ordered in May 2013) partially melted and stretched our of shape so the strap tends to slip. Trying to get Carex to replace it. But we had no problem with another one and used it for years until a seam broke. Duck tape fixed that for a while. All in all, a good product.

I'm not familiar with the older version. The version I purchased does have velcro holding the chin guard, but I have worn this for two seasons and the chin guard has never ever slid/moved/or come off the mask. Hope this helps. I love my mask, it is so comfortable and doesn't restrict my vision.

It's ok, the headgear is weak. Not for every day use. But it works. We use it now & then. I'm thinking of putting a welding helmet headgear in it. Headgear is the weak link.

Even the older models were made of plastic too. I'd say it probably won't tolerate a drop from face height onto a tiled floor but will hold up to normal wear and tear as well as any shaver would. The only area which may wear out early is the dog and house plastic on plastic which forms the latch to hold the head in place. I can't predict if it will or not, but that'd be my guess as the weakest wear point.

My old hose was the metal one, too, and this was a perfect replacement. The new clip did not securely hold and came apart once after a few weeks. The second time I installed the hose and clip I wrapped the connection with plastic electrician's tape and it has held for a year without coming apart. Dave

It depends on what kind you have. I had the Matrix gen 2 striker mesh mask, and it was somewhat difficult to find a good mesh but with the Striker gen 1 it fit very well

After about a year the top layer of material has begun to separate at the front right edge of the tracker pad. This is probably due to my right wrist rubbing there when I use the mouse. The separation goes about 1/8 inch and does not affect my use of the mouse. If the material continues to separate I will probably use a razor bale and straight edge to trim it. I am not to picky about looks and consider this normal wear. If the pad gets to bad I will replace it with the same or another brand, but is will be the same dimensions for sure.

If it still works, then no need to replace it. I have a mitten 3 years old which I use for my face as it has softened considerably. It does a brilliant job and I will not be throwing it out for a long time yet. Yes, it is beginning to look like a dog's breakfast, but I don't care :-)

I had the original m50 white, and assuming they use pretty much the same material, the pad at the headband will get a bit dirty (discolored) over time. I had mine for a few months now, and it's a little dirty there. I haven't tried to clean it yet since it's not a big deal
