Is looking down some bad habit you developed? Its okay if the throat guard touches your shirt/CP. You shouldn't feel any discomfort and it shouldn't re-adjust your mask. I wear my CP as high as possible. I also offer as low a neck profile as possible by raising my shoulders. The bottom of my mask and throat protector sit atop the CP, but it doesn't bother me. I feel SAFE because I believe nothing will get through.

I can't think of any reason to look down while wearing a traditional mask. Practice removing the mask with your left hand and then LOOK down, if absolutely necessary. Why would you wear your mask if you need to look down? I guess I just don't understand what you're looking at. In fact, I think I suffer a phobia about looking down. I have these thoughts that if I look down the baseball might clunk me on top of my head and it may hurt. I think I am actually scared to look down.
