Tried it. Didn't like it. It felt heavy and hot and did not improve my view of balls and strikes. (However, it did improve my view of areas where I've never seen pitches go.) I went back to my mask.

I know there are those who swear by them. That's okay. I'm not on an anti-HSM campaign. Just understand that they are not for everybody.
