The FM4000's design is inspired by the MVP2500 and MVP4000 cages, which are known for offering the absolute best vision and deflective properties. This single bar facemask features a strong vertical center bar right in the front/center of the mask, positioned in such a way to make it virtually invisible when worn. The curved forehead allows for more padding to come in contact with the umpire's head to help disperse impacts. The steel wire used to make this mask is hollow.
