i myself dont see the need for the helmet, but that is just me. i was a catcher all my life, caught last year in college, and never thought it was necessary as a catcher. sure it gives you a better field of vision, but i never had a problem seeing runners on the corners or anything. as an umpire, i dont see myself ever buying one.
i do college games in the fall and high school in the spring/summer so i am seeing some pretty fast pitching but i can take quite a beating. ive taken pretty hard shots as a catcher and as an umpire and i just roll my neck around and keep playing/umpiring.
