[Carnivale]

The models that you have pictured are fiberglass with spot kevlar in the chin and forehead areas. These are solid, durable masks that are comparable to many of the mid-level masks on the market now. I personally still use a VV that I've had for a decade. Obviously, with any older mask you should make sure that there are no stress cracks or other structural weaknesses.

As far as finding a cateye, other than keeping an out on ebay for one that has a cateye on it, you're probably out of luck. They're pretty much impossible to come by. Try asking Daffy what cage he has on his short-chin VV pictured above....it is not a stock VV cage.
