I'm still going back and forth. I use my helmet at clamshell style backstops, where the balls hit straight up, come straight back down. Ever get hit on the metal button of your cap by one of those? Youch!
I like the helmet best when I remove it, and breeze blows through my sweaty hair. THAT'S when it's cool. Hat hair is not so cool, so there's the trade off. A navy blue, wool cap on a hot summer day is no picnic.
When I first started with the helmet I flinched alot. I was seeing so much more I guess my brain wasn't too sure I was protected.
