Have to say I really like this product. Took a solid hit to the mask didn't feel a thing was loud but perfectly fine. However, there are some issues with it. It does fit tight, a little too tight especially since I wear glasses. The chin pad is terrible; too big. It's more of a filler than protection. But those are the only issue I have had to overcome. I do wear a cap while wearing the helmet, your line of sight is great. It will take a couple of adjustments for you. But I'm happy as a puppy with it.

This is by far the best hockey-style umpire helmet I have worn. This provides total protection and can take a hit directly in the center of the cage without feeling the shot from an un-caught ball or foul ball. I purchased this a while back and a fellow umpire took a shot with his traditional mask and received a concussion. I gave him this mask and he will not use anything else. I am the UIC for my local little league and just purchased 2 more. If you umpiring games at 13 and above this is a piece of equipment you must have. Force3 did a great job with the mask. Also, check out the Force3 traditional umpire masks. Many umpires in my district use them and they love them.

Love this mask!!! Took a direct shot and barely felt it. Was a little heavy to begin with but is easy to get used to.
