Itech 950/951 Mask

[TazJMT]

Can anyone give me any information on the Itech 951 Mask? I found a ton of stuff on the 961, but want to know if the 951 is a safe mask to have or another version of the Itech widowmakers? Whats the shell made out of?

The 950/951 is an old mask, mid-nineties or so, and were unreliable - they were a low to mid level mask, reminiscent in shape to the 960/961, but nowhere near the quality. Carbon steel cage, and the shell was made of some kind of "sheet composite" that was prone to cracking (early Envy 7, anyone??). Every so often, an ebay seller will try to pass one off as a 960/961, but don't be fooled.

If you pay more than fifty dollars, you've paid too much - don't risk it, except for painting practice, especially on a mask as old as any 950/951 would be.

there is at least one out there right now...

I had a 951 back in the day. The shell never cracked but the cage that came on it was very very thin.

I totally agree w/ Mash. The wire was way thin.
