Question Youth Mask

Looking for recommendations on a good mask for youth. My son and I just got certified and the mask he used fit him ok, but not great. He is 14 years old and only 100 pounds, slender build. Has anyone had a good experience with a mask for someone about this size?

Thanks!

Being 15, I find that the Tilos Excel works great for me, but I dont know about him considering I'm 50 lbs heavier than him.

Did he already get his growth spurt? Also, it is possible that the mask he used just didn't fit him correctly. I would suggest going to an LDS and purchasing the mask there (I love ST, but for something like this, its troublesome to ship back and forth constantly) since fit is of paramount priority.
