you can usually buy a two piece catchers mask seperately. i bought my face mask from dicks sporting goods, but i bought the helmet from a different supplier. you can do an internet search for "catchers skull caps", and there will be some different sites to provide you the products that you will be looking for. i perfer a two piece catchers mask because, when your throwing down to 2nd base the mask flies off your head, but when using the hockey style masks: they tend to stay on your head and to block your vison because they spin on your head.

When you are catching when you catch a fly ball do you drop the mask immediatley?
Depends. Most catchers who wear a hockey style mask do not remove it to catch a pop-up. If you use an old-school mask, you wait to throw the mask until you have an idea as to the direction the pop-up is heading. You don't throw the mask right away since you do not want to end up tripping on the mask if you have to backtrack.
