I switched last year.  Love it, will never go back to iron mask.  It's lighter, cooler, safer, and offers greater vision. 
 
However, let's not get into a discussion about hats!

 Iron mask!  Haven't seen one of those since visiting the museum.  I'm lying.  I still have one stowed away someplace.  Haven't worn it in years, but never really had a problem with it.  Went to a composite some years back and have a hard time imagining anything being lighter, safer and still allow the umpire to remain in uniform!  Sorry, WMB, just couldn't let that one slip by  
Now that I no longer do FP, I really don't have to worry about it.
