Well that really isn't helping any of us out. Some people swear that dark shirts are so much hotter on sunny days. Somebody posted that they did an experiment and left different color shirts out in the sun for an hour and then checked the temperature of each shirt. After the hour, the black shirt was only 3 degrees hotter than the air temperature. Obviously it is all in their minds that the black shirt is hotter. When they get hot out on the field, it is because they have the black shirt on, not because it is a hot day out. But after reading the test results it is obvious that the heat difference was all in the user's head.

Perhaps the protection difference is all in your head. When you take a shot to the mask, I bet you are thinking "Wow, that would have been a bad one if I had on a standard mask." Maybe you are just like the guy who thinks he is so much hotter in the black shirt. Maybe the shot would not have been any worse had you had been wearing the standard mask.
