I have considered going to the helmet because of an incident last year. I made a stupid mistake and ducked on a foul ball, needless to say the next thing I knew I was looking up, flat on my back and several people over me calling my name.

Problem is, of all the ones I have tried on I have not been able to find one that feels comfortable and that I can remove quickly without hitting my glasses and dislodging them. Granted it may not be adjusted properly yet and/or I have not had very much practice with it.

I actually come from a Hockey background and played goalie for many years with the old fiberglass type mask, so when I find one I think Ican adjust to fit I will like it much better.

As for the hair, I wear mine very short, but realize that is not always the case with all umpires.
